GN Solids Control has recently completed the successful delivery of two complete 1000GPM Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) mud recycling systems for a valued customer in the Middle East. These systems are designed to improve the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability of trenchless drilling operations across the region.
Complete Mud Management Solution for HDD Projects
In HDD and trenchless pipeline installation projects, managing drilling fluids efficiently is critical for maintaining borehole stability and reducing waste disposal costs. GN Solids Control high-performance mud recycling systems are specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of large-scale HDD operations.
Each delivered system includes:
2 sets of 1000GPM mud recycling systems, each comprising:
2 shale shakers for primary solids separation
1 mud cleaner (integrating desander and desilter) for fine particle removal
2 large-volume mud storage tanks, providing sufficient capacity for clean mud circulation
3 mixing tanks, equipped with mud hoppers and mixing pumps for slurry preparation and fluid regeneration
Optimized Equipment Design
The shale shakers used in this project are GN’s high-efficiency models equipped with fine mesh screens and adjustable G-force vibration motors. These units deliver excellent solids removal capacity and durability under harsh site conditions. The mud cleaners feature hydrocyclones designed for accurate desanding and desilting, further enhancing mud recycling quality.
All tanks are constructed from corrosion-resistant steel and coated with marine-grade paint, ensuring long-term performance even under extreme weather and saline environments common in Middle Eastern regions.
Supporting Sustainable and Cost-Effective Drilling
By deploying GN’s advanced mud recycling technology, the customer is able to:
Significantly reduce the consumption of fresh drilling fluid
Minimize the volume of waste generated
Enhance drilling efficiency by maintaining optimal fluid properties
Lower operational costs associated with fluid management and disposal
This system not only reduces environmental impact but also improves the overall profitability of HDD projects.
