4. GN Solidification Unit
GN Solidification or Stabilization Unit is mainly used to treat the cuttings from desander, desilter, cuttings dryer or decanter centrifuge. All these cuttings are collected in the large hopper of GN solidification unit. By adding different chemicals and cements, the cuttings can be changed into solids pattern which is very easy for transport and move. drilling cuttings solidsfication unit
5. GN Cuttings Transfer Unit
This unit is mainly used to storage and transfer the cuttings from GN dryer or GN Hi-G shaker. Drill cuttings discharged from the shakers or desilters are transferred to the collection hopper. Then the cuttings are feed by one vacuum cuttings pump.
6. GN Intermediary Mud Transfer Unit

Mud Transfer Unit
This mud unit includes cylindrical tank, submersible pump, mud agitator and control cabinet. GN mud agitator keeps the inner mud (which usually comes from Hi-G shaker) from sedimentation, and GN submersible pump helps to pump the fluid into GN decanter centrifuge.
7. GN Catching Tank Unit
GN also provides modular catching tank unit to storage and transfer those hazardous waste. Special design to lock the mud tank when transporting keeps the fluid from spill.

GN Solids Control is famous company who has working on solids control and drilling cuttings management for many years. Now GN equipments are divided into two parts: solids control, drilling cuttings management.
GN Solids Control equipments are including shale shaker, desander, desilter. On the other side, GN drilling cuttings management systems are including decanter centrifuge and cutting dryer.
GN cuttings dryer is very popular in the WBM and OBM treating. Now many cuttings dryer manufacturers can deal with OBM, but there’re not many companies can deal with WBM well. Due to the successful projects that GN cuttings dryers has worked, more and more drilling companies are coming to GN for their WBM treating.

Now GN two sets of cuttings dryers are storaged in Houston warehouse. GN Solids America LLC always welcomes clients to our Houston warehouse and see our dryers before place the order.
Generally speaking, GN cuttings dryers are used to separate the solids that smaller than 3 mm in the drilling fluids. The expensive drilling fluids can be reused by separating with GN cuttings dryer and decanter centrifuge. 1 m³ clean drilling fluids can be recycled from the 3 m³ by using GN drilling cuttings management systems, treating capacity is different for different fluids with various densities and viscosities.
There are three types of screen baskets: 250 microns, 350 microns as well as 500 microns. The minimum cuttings size can be separated out is 250 microns. Distance between screen basket and flight is only 1 mm, which can be modified when the flight is wear after using for a long period.
GN automatic lubricating system can pump oil inside the cuttings dryer automatically, which keeps the key parts in a good using condition. Cuttings can be feed by a screw conveyor or cuttings pump to the top outlet of the cuttings dryer. There’s one distribution disc that separates all the cuttings evenly.
Four sets of flushing ports around the inside shell are used to protect the liquid ring from blocked. One flushing pump (usually positive placement pump) is needed to provide water or diesel for cleaning. GN also has one special design parts air knife system, which can provide high pressure air to blow away those cuttings blocked on screen basket.

The great show MIOGE 2015 show in Russia just ended last week, GN Solids Control Co. Ltd won great success in this wonderful ceremony in Russia. For the decanter centrifuge and cuttings dryer that exhibited in this show, many visitors showed interests and would like to try them in a proper time.
This year, GN Solids Control shipped advanced cutting dryer and decanter centrifuge to attend this show. Many large clients have been using GN equipments for a long time, and they are pretty satisfied with the working performance and treating capacity. russia oil show
In end beginning if this year, there were 4 sets of drilling waste management systems including the decanter centrifuges, cuttings dryers, skid, middle tank and screw conveyors using in Russia under the especially cold weather. All these 4 sets were purchase by Baker Hughes for the OBM (oil base mud) separating. Even the temperature was merely minus 40, all GN decanter centrifuges, cuttings dryers and screw conveyors were working perfectly well. GN decanter centrifuge and cuttings dryer won great success in the Russia market, and now we have many other successful projects that are operating in Russia. For the other countries, such as America, Canada, Mexico, GN solids control and drilling waste management systems are also well known by most of the drilling companies.
The decanter centrifuge in this show is GNLW363CG, which is the C version. Compared with the former B version, the centrifuge has upgraded some parts for better separating results and larger treating capacity.
Besides, the cuttings dryer is a more compact new design with the rotating speed reach to 1200RPM. GN has provided many sets of cuttings dryer in Chinese market and global markets. Just several days before, GN Solids Control finished the manufacturing of 6 sets vertical cuttings dryer in Beijing factory. And those dryer will be sent to Algeria for the OBM treating.
GN Solids America always has cuttings dryers and decanter centrifuges available in Houston warehouse, welcome to reach us for more info.

GN Drilling Waste Management for OBM and WBM Treating

Leave a reply

GN Solids Control has been designing and manufacturing many sets of drilling waste management systems for global clients. Now GN solids control and drilling waste management equipments are exported to over 60 countries.
GN Drilling Waste Management systems can treat oil base mud, water base mud. It’s obvious to know, in order to get a better separating performance we need to treat the oil base mud and water base mud separately. GN waste management systems are composed of cuttings dryer and decanter centrifuge.
The largest advantage of GN cuttings dryer is it can treat with OBM and WBM. For some drilling rigs, in the primary drilling period most of the fluids are water base mud, the oil based mud will be used as the rig drilling much deeper. So only buy one cuttings dryer, you can use it for all the drilling process.
Now many large clients are using GN drilling waste management systems, such as Shell used one whole unit to separate the OBM in the shale gas drilling process. And Baker Hughes is using 4 sets of drilling waste management systems to do their drilling work in extremely cold environment.

According to the survey made by Shell, oil in the final cuttings treated by GN cuttings dryer will be around 5%, and it will be reached to 3.75% when you feeding with few drilling mud.
Now GN has upgraded our cuttings dryer to the forth version: the rotating speed can reach to 1200 RPM, separating performance is better than the third version. For the decanter centrifuge, GN engineers also gave some creative and practical modifications: mud is feed to the large end of the rotating bowl, some outlets on the screw propeller is added, one flexible bow is fixed on the solids discharge port to avoid block etc.
The standard GN drilling waste management systems can treat with much more solids with a satisfied performance. For further details, welcome to contact us freely by thomas@gnsolidscontrol.com.

GN Drilling Waste Management Systems
GN Solids Control has many experience engineers in waste management area. In order to meet the demands of environment protection and make money from the waste oil, using GN drilling waste management systems would be one cost effective method.
GN drilling waste management systems is a pretty standard system mainly including one GN cuttings dryer and one decanter centrifuge, two positive pumps (one for cleaning and flushing the cuttings dryer when the work is finished, the other one is used for feeding mud into the decanter centrifuge), skid and tank as well as some other auxiliary equipments such as ladders, walkways, guiderails and lights etc.
In order to operate GN drilling waste management systems conveniently, GN designers take the working conditions into consideration. The whole systems are pretty compact, while the operators have large room for work.
GN cutting dryer is quite effective for OBM, WBM or SBM treating. When using GN dryer, on one hand you can separate the solids out from the waste mud, on the other hand you can reclaim some precious oil which can be used for further treatment and sell to make profit. From this point, treat the waste oil can reach the aim of protecting environment and make money.
Solids come out from the waste mud contain a little bit oil, according to the discharge standard, these solids can be discharged directly without any further treatment due to the oil is less than 5 percent.
As to the WBM treating, GN dryer also can perform excellently. Solids usually contain less than 10% water. These solids can be transported to other places after 2 or 3 days nature dry.
Fluids come out from cuttings dryer can be sent to decanter centrifuge for further separation. All the solids larger than 2 or 3 microns can be separated out.
GN drilling waste management system can also working in harsh environment which is very cold. Last December, some sets of GN drilling waste management systems are using in Russia, where the temperature is minus 40 ℃.
