Double Deck shale shaker and cuttings dryer for Africa drilling company

One set of double deck shale shaker and one set of vertical cuttings dryer are ready for shipment to Africa for drilling cuttings treatment system.
The double deck shale shaker will be applied as high G force drying shaker to separate the coarse solids, it can be used for both water based drilling cuttings and oil based drilling cuttings. The anti splash cover on the top to prevent the drilling mud from splashing. The top layer and bottom layer total 6pcs shaker screens are composite material frame for longer working life and better separation performance.


The vertical cuttings dryer is ideal equipment to be used for oil based drilling cuttings treatment, after treatment, the oil content on the cuttings is below 5%, the fluids will flow to an intermediate tank, then feed the fluids to decanter centrifuge for further treatment, the fine solids will be separated out by decanter centrifuge, the fluids can be reused for drilling. Before treated by decanter centrifuge, the fluids can be treated by drying shaker to reduce solids content, it will increase the decanter centrifuge treating capacity and performance, also it can prevent the centrifuge bowl from damaged by the high solids content.


GN standard drilling waste management system GNCM-40A is consist of VFD decanter centrifuge, vertical cuttings dryer, flushing pump, centrifuge feeding screw pump, fluids collection tank, skid, electric control system, accessories. The compact design with small footprint is loaded into standard container.
Except for drying shaker and vertical cuttings dryer, GN solids control also produce drilling waste treatment decanter centrifuge, including high speed decanter centrifuge, VFD decanter centrifuge, Fully Hydraulic Drive decanter centrifuge, we provide different explosion proof standard for option, IEC EX, ATEX, CNEX. For more information about high G drying shaker and vertical cuttings dryer, pls contact with GN Solids Control.

Offshore Drilling Mud Centrifuge and Cuttings Dryer to Asia Oilfield Service Company

Recently one batch of offshore drilling mud centrifuge and cuttings dryer are ready for delivery to Asia oilfield service company. The equipments list is as below：


1. 6 units of GNLW363D-FHD Fully Hydraulic Drive decanter centrifuge
2. 2 units of GNCD930G vertical cuttings dryer with skid


3. 8 units of variable speed screw pump, 2 units as flushing pump for vertical cuttings dryer, 6 units as feeding pump of fully hydraulic drive decanter centrifuge
The features of GNLW363D-FHD Fully Hydraulic Drive decanter centrifuge including:


1. ATEX motor and control panel, the cable meets the requirements for use in marine environments.
2. The hydraulic bowl and scroll drive system drived both the hydraulic motor ROTODIFF and the bowl of the decanter centrifuge from hydraulic pump unit by two hydraulic oil circuits.
3. The centrifuge can be used for high temperature ambient up to 55 C degree for heavy mud, suitable for zone 1 and zone 2 application.
4. VISCOTHERM Fully hydraulic drive system
5. Max speed is up to 3600rpm, max G force is up to 2610G.
6. The bowl material is duplex stainless steel SS2304 from centrifugal casting, the screw material is stainless steel 304.
7. The solids discharge port and fluids distribution port is protected by tungsten carbide inserts, the screw is protected by tungsten carbide tiles
8. The bearing is SKF brand
During centrifuge working process, the bowl speed ,differential speed, fluids pool depth, feed rate, flocculant consumption can be adjusted according to actual situation. The higher bowl speed, the drier solids discharge, more clear liquid effluent to be get. The lower differential speed, the longer time of the solids phase stay inside the bowl, so the discharged solids will be drier.
If you need fully hydraulic drive centrifuge, vertical cuttings dryer, pls contact with GN solids control.

Drilling Rig Solids control equipments spare parts manufacturer in China

As a professional drilling rig solids control equipments manufacturer in China, we provide complete spare parts for our OEM equipments, and also replacement shaker screens for other brand shale shaker. Recently one batch of drilling rig solids control equipments spare parts are ready for maintenance of our solids control equipments. The list of spare parts including:
For Vertical cuttings dryer:


Different opening screen basket with scraper, Bell jar assembly with scraper, Rotor assembly with flights, Gearbox, pulley of power unit, air knife components, belt
The maintenance of the centralized lubrication system of GN vertical cuttings dryer is very easy, the user need to clean the oil tank regularly. If found abnormal, remove the screws at the four corners of the oil tank to separate the oil tank from others, tighten the 4 screws of the upper cover and oil tank. The mud discharged through the screen basket gap contains solid particles, which will damage the screen basket. When the solids layer increased to specific gap, the screen basket need to be replaced, otherwise the drilling cuttings dryness can not meet the technical requirement. Regularly check the wear of screen basket scraper, and adjust the gap between the scraper and the screen basket to keep the gap in a normal range.
For decanter centrifuge：


Hydraulic coupler assembly, Bearing block
For screw conveyor:
Variator, auger drive, hanger shaft


For screw pump:
Stator, rotor, universal joint, gearbox , variable speed gearbox
For VFD control panel, electrical parts and components, such as drives, PLC, pressure gauge, HMI Display unit, etc.
Except for these spare parts, we also produce replacement shaker screens for different brands shale shaker from API 20 to API 325 which comply with API RP 13C standard. If you need solids control spare parts and shaker screens, pls contact GN solids control.

GN Solids Control attended 2024 Beijing CIPPE Oil Equipment Show
