Drilling Mud Recycling System

In the
past several years, each year, GN Solids Control brought to the oil and gas
industry some new and useful solutions for bettering the world. Year 2013, the
new design of decanter centrifuge, with two motors on one side and positive
pressurized control panel, year 2014, the improved vertical cuttings dryer
which could be used for both OBM and WBM, year 2015, a new solution GNGH10 and
GNGN15 was designed and put into use, it is the final treatment of the drilling
cuttings.

Until
now, since the first set of GNGH10 Solidification unit was finished in GN
Solids Control’s yard and transported to the client’s place in domestic China,
GN has sold several of that. and some of GN old clients who are satisfied with
GNLW series decanter centrifuges and GN solids control systems are considering
to use the solidification unit in near future. This solidification unit is purchased
by a client from French and this is for his project in Africa. Recently, lots
of African countries came to aware of the necessary to protect the environment
from being polluted by the drilling cuttings.

What is
solidification unit?

The
solidification unit is used for future treating the solids discharge from the
solids control system’s desander and desilter cones and the centrifuge of the
solids control system. Also, the solids phase discharged by the shale shaker
could enter the solidification unit after being treated by the GNCM waste
management system. By using material like cement and other material, the
liquidate component in the drilling cuttings which may permeate into the soil
or underground water are forged into some hard particles and become less
liquidate. Then they could be used in some other ways like building the road or
so.

In a
word, the solidification unit is an economic and practical solution for waste
management of drilling solids cuttings.

Containerized Dewatering Unit

The coagulation and flocculation unit
(hereinafter referred to as the CFU) is intended to serve as the mobile
unit for centrifuges chemical improvement while the drilling mud cleaning
(extraction of “process water” non-combined solvent and removal of the “drilled
solids, solid and dissolved chemical reagent” solids from the mud by
preliminary chemical treatment of the mud and subsequent phase separation in
the centrifuge).

The GNDU2000 Series 20FT Dewatering Unit
provides a process of chemically enhanced configuration to remove the fine
solids less than 5 microns from the water based drilling fluids. As it known
that traditional solids control equipments like shale
shaker, desander,desilter,
and decanter
centrifuge will removes solids upper than 5 microns, for colloidal-size
particles which is less than 5 microns will build up in the drilling mud
system. To maintain the drilling mud properties, the operators have to dilute
the drilling fluids with water, this consumes more water and create more
drilling waste.

The mud to be cleaned is supplied from mud tanks to the
station by the centrifuge feeding pumps. The mixing device (mixer) is installed
inside the CFU. The CFU process equipment perform the mud mixing (dosing) with
chemical reagents in the mixer, then the mud is fed from the CFU to the
centrifuges. Centrate (process water) obtained in the centrifuges returns to
the CFU, and solids contained in the mud are removed by the centrifuge and
transferred into the sludge transporter. Centrate (water) is measured in the
CFU and if its parameters are satisfactory, the station pumps transfer it into
the tank (receiving tank) for the new mud mixing. If results are not
satisfactory, the centrate is pumped into the sludge transporter.

Mud and water are delivered and discharged
from the CFU by flexible hoses. The water supply system shall provide water
flow rate of approximately 3 m3/h for mixing in tanks. Centrate overflow,
centrate output to the storage vessels, centrate output to the control vessel,
water input/output, mud input to cleaning shall be designed with quick-release
couplings DN50 and shall be located in the same port on the CFU outer wall. The
port is covered by cover with padlock. 50 meters of flexible hoses are included
into the scope of delivery. Centrate is fed into the centrifuged water tank by
DN150 pipeline. Pipeline inside the CFU is made of constructional carbon steel.
Flange and gooseneck outside the CFU is made of constructional steel and
intended for centrate feeding from two centrifuges. The flexible hose DN150
delivers centrate. 10 meters of flexible hoses are included into the scope of
delivery. All quick-release couplings, flanges, bolts, goosenecks shall be
included into the scope of delivery also.

Given that GN Solids Control first of all
designed the first generation GNCD 930 Vertical Cuttings Electric dryers, this
model has been created to the 4th generation, every generation has clear
strengths comparing with its ancestors. GN engineers added new purposes and
made improvements to them. Right now GN has updated this to GNCD930D/D-VFD
vertical cuttings dryers.
1st generation GNCD930 Vertical cuttings
dryer, it offers the basic functions as every single vertical cuttings
dryer, similar to a washing machine’s drying perform, by rotating at a top
speed, the liquids and hues are separated from the other person and the solids
particles are generally dried to fall down and also discharged, the liquid is
definitely transported to next step.
next generation GNCD930 Vertical clippings dryer, GN changed the actual some
parts to have higher efficiency like the solids blocking wedding ring and some
scrapers to speed the discharge of material and as well better the performance.
Almost all of the ideas came from the construction site feedbacks from GN
useful clients.

3rd generation GNCD930C Vertical cuttings dryer, GN has great improvements. For
your main equipment, GN superior the material of screen holder and its
structure, and added in air knife to help keeping away from block. For control
individual panels, the clients could opt for the fixed speed one or good
pressurized VFD
control panel having PLC smart screen. Intended for rotating speed, GN
possesses 900RPM and 1200RPM offered.
Such useful applications manufactured GNCD930C Vertical cuttings clothes dryer
more efficient and favorable.

Today, not long ago, GN has re-designed the GNCD930 Vertical Waste Dryer, we
can say that, it’s the 4th generation vertical waste dryer. For each model, you
will find 2 optional electric command panels as fixed velocity and VFD
controlled to decide from, And also, you can choose ideal speed per your work
site need, as 900 RPM or 1200 RPM. Contrasting with the 3rd generation, the
particular structure is more compact.
In case you have more interest or wish to see GNCD930 Vertical clippings dryer,

The particular solids control system might
remove the large solid contaminants in the drilling mud to minimize the solids
content to ensure that to protect the transferring send that used to transfer
the particular mud back the machine for reusing. GN just simply finished one
set mud solids control system along with VFD
decanter centrifuge intended for mining project in Southeast Asia.

This system is a two stages separation design product; the equipment
configuration is as beneath:
1 . Shale
shaker unit GNZS594E-HB used for coarse strong particle separation. This
shale shaker unit could also be utilized as a high G pressure drying shaker
with variable G force up to eight. 4-panel screen makes a more substantial area
for drying often the drilling mud.
2 . VFD design decanter centrifuge system used for fine solids separating. The
first one unit centrifuge operates at a middle speed to eliminate most of the
solids to reduce often the gravity. The following second device VFD control
centrifuge might run at a high speed to get rid of the ultra fine solid waste
to make the drilling mud clean.
3. Screw pump prepared to transfer the dirt to the centrifuge. Horizontally set
up at the flank of the reservoir, it helps to tank leading more space for
operation mobility.
4. Mud cleaner reservoir used as sand pitfall and active mud hard drive.
This system is to remove the sound particles in the drilling soil to make the
drilling fluids using again. After the solids being taken off, the fluids could
be piped back for reuse as well as the pump would be also guarded as there are
less solids dust.
Mud solids control strategy is
very common product and alternative that GN provides. For this reason, GN could
provide parting system used for oil going, no dig drilling task and some other
industrial sturdy and liquid phase separating. For more information, welcome
send you email or call devoid of any hesitate.
