GN ViST vacuum shale shaker is a shaker unit with a vacuum suction hopper installed under the last shaker screen. The purpose to use the ViST vacuum unit under the shale shaker is for more recovery of the drilling fluids in the same conditions compared with shale shaker without ViST system, and the discharged drilling cuttings will be much drier, so the user can save cost to treat and disposal the drilling cuttings. Normally it is very difficult for the offshore drilling cuttings collection, treatment and disposal, sometimes client will ship them back to drilling waste management facility in land, the collection and shipment cost is very high, other clients use cuttings re-injection technology, some clients use Thermal desorption unit, some clients installed drilling waste management on the offshore rig floor, but normally the area for offshore drilling rig is very limit, it is hard to install a complete vertical cuttings dryer system. Because of these reasons, ViST vacuum shale shaker became very important for offshore.

As a professional solids control and drilling waste management system manufacturer in China, GN solids control, GN solids control keep developing new and advanced technology for oil & gas industry and provide the best solution for our clients.
Features of ViST Vacuum Shale Shaker

1. GN ViST vacuum shale shaker is suitable for oil based mud, water based mud and Synthetic oil based mud.
2. By using the ViST vacuum shale shaker, the drilling fluids recycling will be increased by 30%~50%, It greatly reduces the volume of drilling waste and the cost to transport the drilling waste.

3. By using this ViST vacuum shale shaker, no need extra high G drying shaker again; The compact design did not take much area at site.
If you are interested in GN ViST vacuum shale shaker, pls contact with GN solids control.

This week GN shipped several units of waste water treatment decanter centrifuge to Russia, The model is GNLW363C-VFD, This is one of the most popular model decanter centrifuge among GN equipments, it can be applied for many industries including waste water treatment, drilling fluids recycling/ cleaning, dewatering unit, drilling waste management system, dredging slurry separation system, industrial waste water treatment and all the other liquid solids separation application.

There are many size decanter centrifuge for option, 9 inch, 14 inch, 18 inch, 22 inch, 30 inch with different treating capacity, the treating capacity for different material varies a lot for the same bowl size. For the same bowl size, we have different ratio when used for different industry, for example, 9 inch bowl centrifuge have models of GNLW223 and GNLW224, GNLW224 with longer bowl length, the ratio is 4, with better performance in separation, discharge fluids is more clear, the discharged solids is drier, it is an ideal decanter for the dewatering fluids, when the client need to get pure water to send to waste water treatment plant or drain off to the river/ pond.

The 14 inch bowl also have GNLW363 and GNLW364, The 18 inch bowl also have GNLW452, GNLW453-VFD, GNLW454-VFD for option, the 22 inch bowl also have GNLW553-VFD, GNLW554-VFD.

56 units of drilling fluids mud agitators and 3 units slurry vacuum pump shipped to China client this week.
The mud agitator is consist of electric motor and gearbox and skid, it is installed on the mud tank to prevent the solids from accumulation on the tank bottom. The mud gun length and mud agitator shaft length is customized according to mud tank inner depth. GN mud agitator have C version and D version, the C version mud agitator is that the electric motor and gearbox is connected by coupler , if the client need local standard motors or they want to install their own motors, they can buy the gearbox with coupler and skid, and install the motor locally to meet the special explosion proof standard. D version mud agitator is the lastest mud agitator, the gearbox and electric motor is connected directly, with compact design, it will save space on the mud tank, and easy for maintenance.
The slurry vacuum pump is the most popular drilling cuttings transfer pump since this year, with the advanced technology. It is a pneumatic slurry transfer vacuum pump for liquid, slurry, and solids transfer. The pump can transfer material with high gravity and high density, solids content max. up to 80%.
GN solids control can offer various pumps, including submersible slurry pump, centrifugal pump, screw pump, vacuum pump for different applications. Vacuum pump is our new products, we already sold it to many jobsites in the world.

This week we shipped one unit of oil based drilling waste management system for CNPC, they ever bought similar system before for their domestic and international projects.

To get ideal result of the discharge cuttings and recover oil as much as possible, the performance of vertical cuttings dryer is the major concern. GN has a lot of successful experience for drilling waste management projects, our vertical cuttings dryer has been improved to E version from the year of 2013 when we firstly produce the vertical cutting dryer as per our client’s suggestion and site feedback. From the first A version to the existing E version vertical cuttings dryer, it has been more and more user friendly and maintenance cost has been reduced a lot.

We have 900rpm, 1200rpm rotary speed for option to meet different requirement, the G force is up to 420G / 750G, and the screen basket opening can be 0.25mm, 0.35mm, 0.5mm for option for different drilling waste conditions. The screen basket and screen basket frame is separated, the operator only need to replace the single screen basket when it is wear. The independent oil lubrication system is for better lubrication of the bearing to prevent it from over heating. The automatic interlock system between oil pump motor, main motor and flush pump motor is equipped in case that the main motor starts before oil pump motor.
The decanter centrifuge is used after the vertical cuttings dryer to treat the fluids discharged from the vertical cuttings dryer, after treated by the centrifuge, the fine solids over 2 microns can be separated mostly, the fluids can be used to prepare for new drilling fluids or reuse directly. The high speed decanter centrifuge is used for low gravity solids, the max speed is up to 3900rpm.
If you need oil based cuttings treatment system, pls contact with GN freely.

This week GN shipped one set of workover rig solids control system to Australia. The configuration is as below:
1) Shaker tank with 2 units of shale shaker to clean the drilling mud

2) Mixing tank with mixing hopper, 2 units of centrifugal pump to prepare for new drilling fluids
3) Mud agitator, mud gun, pipelines, valves all equipped with both mud tanks
The difference for this solids control system between normal solids control system:
1) All the electric control system include cables, glands, electric components, and the design should be comply with Australia explosion proof standard
2) The lifting pad, walkway, handrail, the distance between adjacent components, etc should be comply with Australia safety regulations
3) The welding and painting standard is also very strict in Australia, the tank top surface is fixed with high strength glass fiber reinforced plastics.

4) The clean gate is with high position gate valve type clean gate for convenient operation and cleaning of the accumulated solids
GN design and manufacture the workover rig solid control system as per the client’s special requirement and Australia standard. This is not the first unit of solids control system shipped to Australia, we had sold over 30 units of mud recycling system for HDD industry.
