At the 2025 China International Trenchless Technology Conference (ITTC), GN Solids Control made a powerful statement by presenting its most advanced slurry management solutions. The exhibition, a key event in Asia’s trenchless construction calendar, served as an ideal platform for GN to showcase how its technology is driving eco-conscious and efficient tunneling practices.

Sustainable Technology for Modern Infrastructure
With growing emphasis on reducing the environmental footprint of construction activities, GN Solids Control introduced two systems designed with sustainability at their core:
🔹 GNTBM-360B Slurry Separation System
This integrated solution is tailored for tunnel boring and pipe jacking operations. Equipped with the GNZS1536-2A double-deck shale shaker, it efficiently removes large and fine solids from bentonite slurry with vibration amplitudes adjustable from 4 to 8 mm. The system’s modular layout and high processing capacity ensure that drilling fluids are recovered and reused, minimizing fresh water usage and disposal volume.

🔹 GNLW632B Decanter Centrifuge
As part of the dewatering process, GN also displayed the GNLW632B, a large bowl centrifuge ideal for fine solids separation. The centrifuge plays a vital role in reducing slurry waste by extracting ultra-fine particles before the fluid is recycled or safely discharged. Its energy-efficient VFD drive system and wear-resistant build make it a reliable choice for long-term operations in demanding environments.

Eco-Efficiency Meets Field Practicality
Visitors at the GN booth were particularly drawn to the systems’ compact, containerized designs, which simplify onsite installation while reducing equipment footprint. These features are crucial for urban or restricted construction zones typical of trenchless projects. Furthermore, GN systems are engineered to operate continuously, helping contractors avoid costly downtime while staying aligned with local environmental regulations.

Partnering for Greener Infrastructure
GN Solids Control’s participation in ITTC 2025 emphasized more than just technology—it demonstrated a commitment to helping contractors achieve greener project outcomes. By enabling the reuse of drilling fluids and reducing solid waste, GN helps project owners not only meet but exceed environmental compliance standards.
From waste minimization to operational efficiency, GN’s slurry separation and dewatering solutions are transforming how trenchless construction is approached globally. As governments and private sectors prioritize sustainability, GN stands ready with the tools and expertise to support the next generation of underground infrastructure.

GN Solids Control has recently delivered two sets of container-type cuttings dryer systems to an overseas customer, reinforcing its global leadership in providing effective and environmentally friendly drilling waste management solutions. These systems are designed to process oil-based or synthetic-based drilling cuttings, recovering valuable drilling fluids and minimizing environmental impact.

Compact & Mobile Containerized Design
Each system is packaged within a standard container, ensuring easy transportation, quick on-site setup, and space-saving operation. The modular container layout simplifies field installation and offers protection from harsh outdoor environments, making it ideal for remote or offshore drilling locations.

Key Components of the System
🔹 Vertical Cuttings Dryer (GNCD930G-GP):
At the heart of the system is GN Solids Control industry-proven vertical cuttings dryer, model GNCD930G-GP. It uses centrifugal force to separate drilling fluids from the cuttings, significantly reducing oil on cuttings (OOC) to below 5%, meeting most environmental discharge standards.
🔹 Liquid Storage Tank (1.5 x 2 x 1.2m):
This compact-sized tank is used to collect and temporarily store the recovered fluids before being transferred for further treatment or reuse in drilling operations.
🔹 Screw Pump:
The screw pump is responsible for transferring recovered fluids from the liquid tank to the next stage of processing or back to the active mud system. The screw pumps of GN Solids Control are engineered for reliable operation with viscous and abrasive fluids.
🔹 Screw Conveyor:
The screw conveyor transports the discharged solid cuttings from the dryer outlet to a collection point or container for disposal. Built with wear-resistant components, it ensures continuous and efficient solids handling.

Environmental Compliance and Cost Reduction
By deploying GN Solids Control cuttings dryer systems, the client can significantly reduce the amount of waste disposed of while recovering expensive drilling fluids. This not only helps meet environmental regulations but also leads to considerable cost savings in waste handling and mud usage.

The delivery of these two containerized GN Solids Control cuttings dryer systems marks another milestone in GN Solids Control’s commitment to delivering high-performance, portable, and user-friendly waste management solutions for the global oil & gas industry. Whether onshore or offshore, GN continues to support drilling contractors with advanced technology that drives operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.

As urban development and infrastructure projects continue to expand worldwide, efficient and environmentally responsible waste management becomes increasingly important. GN Solids Control has recently supplied a complete Modular Hydrovac Slurry Dewatering System to an overseas client engaged in urban excavation, aiming to transform hydrovac waste into reusable resources while ensuring compliance with environmental standards.

Modular Technology for a Cleaner Jobsite
Hydrovac excavation, while safer for underground utilities, generates large volumes of slurry consisting of water, soil and debris. Traditionally, this waste is transported to disposal sites—an approach that is costly, inefficient, and environmentally taxing. GN Solids Control‘s modular system provides an on-site solution that minimizes both waste volume and transport costs.

This advanced system includes:
GNLMP-1536 Coarse Screen Module: Captures large rocks and construction debris from the raw slurry stream.
GNZS596K Double Deck Shale Shaker: Offers fine screening on two levels, ideal for urban excavation fluid management.
GNZJ594J-8N Desilter Module: Removes finer sand and silt, protecting downstream components.
GNLW553D-VFD Decanter Centrifuge: Handles ultrafine particles with precision control, reclaiming water suitable for reuse.
20-ft Chemical Dosing Module: Enhances separation with accurate polymer dosing for improved flocculation.

Environmental and Operational Gains
By processing hydrovac slurry on-site, contractors can:
✅ Cut Down on Transportation and Disposal – Less slurry volume means fewer trips and lower costs.
✅ Recover Water for Reuse – Treated water can be reused for drilling or cleaning, promoting circular resource use.
✅ Meet Environmental Regulations – Clean effluent discharge ensures compliance with increasingly strict waste standards.
✅ Improve Jobsite Efficiency – Modular design enables rapid deployment and relocation between sites.

A Responsible Choice for Modern Cities
The modular system of GN Solids Control represents a significant step forward for urban contractors who seek both performance and sustainability. It not only meets the technical needs of hydrovac operations but also supports broader environmental and cost-efficiency goals.
