GN Solids Control successfully delivered four sets of mud cleaning systems to a leading European HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) company, supporting their trenchless construction projects with efficient, reliable, and environmentally responsible slurry treatment solutions. The package includes three sets of GNMS-200C mud cleaning systems with a processing capacity of 200 GPM each, and one set of GNMS-1500 system with a high capacity of 1500 GPM, providing flexible solutions for different jobsite requirements.

HDD projects often face challenging geological conditions, strict environmental regulations, and high demands for operational efficiency. Effective mud recycling is essential to maintain drilling performance, control operational costs, and minimize environmental impact. GN’s modular mud cleaning systems are designed to deliver stable separation efficiency while offering easy transportation, fast installation, and convenient operation, making them well suited for HDD contractors working across multiple job sites.

The GNMS-200C systems are compact units designed for small to medium-scale HDD operations. Each system integrates a double-deck shale shaker, desander cyclone, mud tank, centrifugal pumps, and mixing devices into a skid-mounted structure. With a treatment capacity of 200 GPM, these systems efficiently remove sand and fine solids from drilling fluid, allowing rapid recycling and reuse of clean slurry. Their compact footprint and plug-and-play design make them ideal for urban drilling environments and space-limited sites.

For larger and more demanding projects, the GNMS-1500 mud cleaning system provides a high-capacity solution capable of processing up to 1500 GPM. This advanced system features multi-stage separation, including high-performance shale shakers, desanding and desilting hydrocyclones, large-volume mud tanks, heavy-duty centrifugal pumps, and efficient agitation systems. The result is superior solids removal efficiency, stable slurry performance, and significantly reduced waste generation. This system enables continuous high-volume drilling operations while maintaining excellent fluid quality.

All four systems are engineered using GN’s proven design standards and premium components, ensuring long service life, stable operation, and easy maintenance. High-strength steel structures, wear-resistant pump components, and internationally recognized electrical systems provide excellent durability even under harsh working conditions. Additionally, each unit undergoes strict factory testing before shipment to guarantee reliable field performance.

By deploying these GN mud cleaning systems, the European HDD contractor can significantly reduce fresh water consumption, lower disposal costs, and improve overall drilling efficiency. Recycling drilling slurry not only supports sustainable construction practices but also enhances jobsite cleanliness and operational safety.

This successful delivery once again demonstrates GN Solids Control’s strong technical capability and project experience in providing customized mud recycling solutions for trenchless construction. From compact mobile units to high-capacity centralized systems, GN continues to help HDD contractors worldwide improve productivity, reduce environmental impact, and achieve long-term operational success.
