How does GN solids removal unit working in diamond drilling and mining industry?

GN Solids Control make small footprint solids removal unit (SRU) for diamond drilling and mining industries. solids removal unit (SRU) can help to separate the liquid and solids in the slurry waste generated from such mentioned drilling activities. After the shale shaker and centrifuge separation, the dry solids waste is with little water content, the volume is much smaller than the original waste. And it is easy for transport. And the solids waste can be used as construction material. The recovered liquid phase is with less solids, it can be reused for drilling and mud mixing.

Besides the shale shaker and decanter centrifuge separation, GN Solids Control equipped a small size mixing hopper with a mixing pump to prepare qualified new drilling mud to support a continue diamond drilling and mining activity.

The dirty drilling mud from drilling collar is first collected in a mud storage tank. There is a submersible slurry pump allocated on the storage tank to feed the dirty mud to shale shaker for coarse solids separation. The shale shaker is the 1st stage separation. GNZS752 shale shaker is used in the process. It is a min size shale shaker with single deck and 2 screen panels.

The coarse solids will be screened and discharged from the small shale shaker, the liquid phase will pass the screens and fall down into the #1 sand trap of the mud tank. And then there is a screw pump will suck the liquid from sand trap and feed to high speed decanter centrifuge for fine solids separation.

The replacement screens on the mini size shale shaker GNZS752 is fine in order to remove more solids phase, and to maximum reduce the mud weight. And it is to ensure that, after the shale shaker separation, the recovered liquid phase is qualified for decanter centrifuge separation. After centrifuge separation, the clean liquid will flow to the 2# centrifuge tank.
The mixing pump is capacity to suck the drilling mud from #1 sand trap and #2 centrifuge tank, with the power adding from the mixing hopper, the qualified new drilling mud will be send back to the tank compartment and waiting for sending back to rig via s supercharge pump.

Besides the 9 inch mini size decanter centrifuge, GN Solids Control is capacity to make other big sizes for various application, it includes but not limited to drilling mud solids control system, waste water dewatering system, oil sludge separation system, and drilling waste management system, etc…
