Many clients have been loyal to GN Solids Control for years, and one such client in Africa has recently received a full-package drilling cuttings treatment system. This client has been working with GN for over 10 years, and all their drilling rigs are equipped with GN brand drilling waste management systems. The latest package includes two high-speed centrifuges, a vertical cuttings dryer, centrifuge feeding pumps, a vertical cuttings dryer flush pump, screw conveyors for cuttings transfer, centrifugal pumps, and vertical slurry pumps for mud and liquid transfer.
The high-speed decanter centrifuges are equipped with Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control panels, which feature explosion-proof control air conditioners for self-cooling. The air conditioning units are fitted with filters that clean and dry the air before it is fed into the VFD panel, ensuring that the VFD and its components are protected from high moisture and hazardous environments. This design enhances the reliability and longevity of the equipment, even in challenging conditions.
One of the centrifuges is used in the drilling mud solids control system to reduce the mud weight, while the other is used with high speed and high G-force to recover and reduce the mud weight from the vertical cuttings dryer. Both centrifuges are mounted on telescopic skids, and the vertical cuttings dryer is mounted on a heavy skid with holding tanks, making the system easy to transport and install.
Over the course of more than 10 years of collaboration, this client has purchased over 20 full-package drilling waste management systems from GN Solids Control. The company has consistently provided high-quality solids control and drilling waste management equipment, which has played a crucial role in improving the efficiency and sustainability of the client’s drilling operations.
