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.
