GN Solids Control is proud to announce the successful delivery of a set of advanced drilling fluids decanter centrifuges to a renowned drilling contractor in Asia. This delivery includes 2 sets of GNLW363D-VFD and 1 set of GNLW453D-VFD decanter centrifuges, all equipped with VFD control systems for flexible and precise operations.
As drilling companies continue to emphasize efficient solids control and waste management, GN’s VFD decanter centrifuges provide a high-performance and reliable solution for fluid recycling and fine solids separation in demanding field conditions.
Equipment Highlights:
1. GNLW363D-VFD – High-Speed 14” Decanter Centrifuge
The GNLW363D-VFD is GN’s most popular model, widely used for solids control, barite recovery, and drilling fluid treatment. With a 14-inch bowl diameter and maximum speed up to 3,200 RPM, it delivers excellent separation of low-gravity solids and helps reduce drilling fluid losses. The VFD system allows operators to adjust bowl and conveyor speeds in real time based on mud conditions, ensuring optimal performance across various formations.
2. GNLW453D-VFD – Medium-Speed 18” Decanter Centrifuge
The GNLW453D-VFD is designed for applications where higher capacity and lower G-force are required, such as barite recovery or initial solids removal before fine polishing with a high-speed unit. The 18-inch bowl ensures larger throughput, while the VFD controls offer the same flexibility and precision as the 14” model.
