Drilling Mud Recycling System

In recent weeks, GN Solids Control is busy assembling and completing the mud recycling system for an overseas customer for the 1500 HP drilling rig. This system is with full stages of solid control equipment and large liquid storage tanks. Since its establishment in 2007, GN has already started manufacturing the solid control equipment for the oil and gas industry. After 10 years development, GN has already accumulated much experience and can be customer’s one stop shop for solid control system. Now its product range spanning from shale shakers, mud cleaners, decanter centrifuge, cutting dryer, vacuum degasser and so on.

The mud recycling system is mainly composed of the following elements: there are 14 tanks in total used for mud recycling, storage and mixing and for water and fuel storage. There are 3 units of shale shakers which will be connected to the mud distributors that will distribute the drilling mud coming through the pipeline from the wellbore. There is also a mud gas separator to eliminate the flammable gas for safety purpose. And after the shale shaker, there is one vacuum degasser which will be used to remove the cut in gas in the mud to improve the efficiency of the centrifugal pump. After that is one mud cleaner which is composed of desander, desilter and underlying shale shaker. One decanter centrifuge is also equipped in the system for barite recovery. This can save the operator a lot of money as barite is very useful and expensive. There are also various pumps installed in the system to perform their function, such as the centrifugal pump which is used to transfer the drilling mud in the system. And there are also about 30 units of agitators and mud guns which will be used to clean the corners of the tank and mixing the mud in the tank to keep the mud property at good level.

That’s the brief introduction about the mud recycling system. Hopefully it will be useful to you. GN has many types of configuration for different mud recycling system for different HP drilling rigs.  Welcome to visit www.gnsolidsamerica.com and please send your inquiries to sales@gnsolidscontrol.com

Mud cleaning system is critical in the drilling process as they protect the system components by lowering solid/sand content in the drilling fluid. Cleaner fluids means much longer and expandable life in the entire mud cleaning and pumping system. Lowering solid content also allows drilling fluid to carry the sand from the bore more efficiently, making for a better bore hold and improving the rate of penetration dramatically. And it can also solve the environmental and disposal issues and save a lot of cost.

GN’s mud cleaning system are made on skid, like modular, which makes it very easy for transportation. The mud system mainly includes five components: shale shaker, shaker screens, hydrocyclones( desander, desilters), mud tanks, and electrical motor and centrifugal pump. GN’s shale shaker is mostly in linear motion and is used for the coarse separation. It mainly separate the solids by its size by the screen. For the screens, GN now can manufacture its OEM screen with GN brand, also it can manufacture some famous replacement screens, such as DERRICK, MI-SWACO and BRANDT. After the shale shaker, the mud will be pumped by the centrifugal pump into the hydrocyclone which uses centrifugal force to separate the solid from liquid. It can separate the solid size up to 20 microns. The mud tanks usually have 3 compartments, which will hold the mud coming from different separation stage. The size and capacity will depend on the drilling rig size and fluid flow rate. Now GN can manufacture and supply all the components with high quality and low cost.

That’s the brief introduction about the mud cleaning system. Hopefully it will be useful to you. GN has many more solid control systems, they can be used in different operational situations and help you achieve your target easily and cost effectively.

GN showed its 223 decanter centrifuge in the show which is specially designed for mining industry.  There are many highlights about the equipment: the bowl material is made from duplex stainless steel 2205 which is made by centrifugal casting, and it’s much better than stainless steel 304 and stainless steel 316. The discharge port is protected by special ceramic inserts which is made by world famous manufacturer with longer and more endurable life. The adjustable effluent port makes the pond depth adjustment easier and more convenient and fast. The pneumatic controlled spring will make the opening of the cover more easily and safely. During the transportation, the bowl lifting bracket can perform as the protection for the bearings. The bearings are made by the world famous SKF company. The two motors are placed at one side of the equipment and make it smaller footprint. The conveyor surface is made from Tungsten carbide tiles which is more endurable and easy for maintenance.

That’s the brief introduction about the mini decanter centrifuge. Hopefully it will be useful to you.

GN Solids Control is one of the largest solid control and waste management companies which specializes in manufacturing the related equipment, such as shale shaker, desander, desilter, mud cleaner, vacuum degasser, mud gas separator, decanter centrifuge, agitator, centrifugal pump, cutting dryer, screw pump, shear pump, mud gun and so on. This week GN sold its cutting dryer and decanter centrifuge to a Chinese customer in Shandong province for the 1500 HP drilling rig.
Among all of GN’s products, the cutting dryer and decanter centrifuge are the star products as they have been in the market for a long time and very mature and reliable, many customers like them. There are two types of cutting dryer, fixed speed and VFD.There are three different kind of screens for your choice, 250 micron, 350 micron and 500 micron. The handling capacity is 30 to 50 tons per hour. The screen bowl’s maximum diameter is 930mm. The special design of high pressure air knife can clean the basket screen automatically and easily, and avoid the screen to be blinded by the viscosity mud and water based mud. The drilling mud will first comes to the cutting dryer for the first degree separation to eliminate the greater solids. After being treating by the cutting dryer, the slurry will be transferred to the decanter centrifuge which can separate even smaller solids up to 20 micons. The decanter centrifuge is also using the centrifugal force to separate the solids and it works similarly to the cutting dryer. After the separation by the decanter centrifuge, the mud will be in great feature for reuse for the drilling work and will be ready to be pumped downhole.

Recently GN sold its new oil sludge treatment plant. Now the oil sludge mainly comes from 3 resources: crude oil tank sludge, refinery plant waste oil sludge and drilling waste oil sludge. Oil sludge is the combination of oil, water and solids. If the oil can be effectively separated from the water and solids, it will generate great economy effect. GN’s oil sludge treatment plant is mainly used to separate the oil from the sludge, it includes the equipment as below: shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, oil water separator and thermal desorption. The shale shaker will used for the coarse separation, Decanter centrifuge is mainly used for two phase separation, to separate the oil and water from the solids. And oil and water separator is used to separate the oil from the water. And thermal desorption is used to separate the remaining oil on the solid and reduce the oil content down to 0.3%. Before you select the equipment, we will have a full questionnaire for you to fill out to help us finding the right configuration for you, such as where the oil sludge coming from, the content of the sludge, and the percentage for each content, what is the budget and so on.
