A New ERA of GN, after OTC 2015

GN is a young company with energy, with passion. Every year, we made some improvments, will never paving at the same places for a decade. With more and more focusing on waste management & environmental protection, this year to OTC, our main exhibiting product became the verticle cuttings dryer & high speed decanter centrifuge.

QQ图片20150515122152

1) GNCD930D Series Vertical Cuttings Dryer.

GN Solids Control is one of the only two companies in the OTC 2015 who displayed the vertical cuttings dryers. Unlike our competitors vertical cuttings dryers, GN dryers is with higher speed up to 1200RPM with G force up to 750G. This gives it more ability to separate the oil on the cuttings, especially of WBM, it works well for the critical WBM.

GN has already done successful drilling cuttings management projects for Shell, Baker Huges, CNPC and many more leaders in the industry.

As we always keep telling, the statege, finally works well. When the flowers blooms outside the wall, people inside smells. Well, after big players comes to us, and like a healthy cycle, business is on the right track.

2) High Speed GNLW363CG-VFD Decanter Centrifuges.

GN 363 series Decanter Centrifuges is the most popular size decanter centrifuge for drilling mud treatment. GN built over 100 this size of decanter centrifuges in 2014. This type and size of decanter centrifuge is popular for solids control, dewatering ,waste management, sludge treatment.

After the beautiful queen, here comes the old king. Not only keep developing new business, all GN old products are keeping optimized on details. Like the:

3) Mud Cleaner 3in1 GNZS594E-2S12N

After optimized the whole structure, now the mud cleaner can be easily disassembled to two main parts, the cyclone frame, and the underflow shaker. Not like the old designs, need keep matching all the four bolts. If sometimes needed to be disassembled, the tragedy comes. If not something well accurate manufactured, well maintained, days passed to assemble it.

The need-to-know of shale shaker

The facts that needs to consider for choosing shale shaker
The capacity of treating fluid (GPM)
The type of fluid, the ratio of the mass density, the speed of flow and temperature that needs to be treating.
Any fluid contains that might include salt and/or acid of materials (Confirm to use 304# stainless steel or 316L stainless steel)
Size of the solids material that leads choosing screen.
The sums of meshes (API)
Where to install the shale shaker in oil field

The first -time set-up of the shale shaker

  shale shaker 4

When first set-up the shale shaker, it needs keep put the shaker on a leveled surface.
The shock-resist rubber materialsneed be installed between the box and bracket.
Remove the shipping brace like bolt and lug, because the base and screen box are connected by springs, so when ship, the above part of the equipment is secured by the shipping brace.
Remove all the shipping braces before operate the shale shaker.
The motor cables connected the vibration motors on the shale shaker always damaged during severe vibration.Cable coversare provide and need to install with cables when connect control panel and the motors
When stop using the shale shaker, the shale shaker screen should always be washed by clean water.  It also needs to use diesel fuel to clean the screen first, and then water when treating oil-base fluid.

The installation of shale shaker screen

 

Install the wedge blocks at the two sides at the same time.

Make sure the wedge blocks are firmly installed before turn on the shale shaker.
Do the test-run after the installation of shaker screen to ensure installation is done corrected .   If there is any unusual noise of poor contact, stop immediately and re-check the installation of shaker screen.

Disposal of Water Based Mud and Oil Based Mud after Usage

There are normally or in all 3 kinds of drilling mud used in the oil and gas drilling industry. Water based mud, oil based mud and also SBM. These 3 kinds of mud cover all the usages of drilling mud in all over the world. But no matter it is water based mud or oil based mud, after being used, they are not allowed to be disposed directly to anywhere, because no matter what material or chemicals added into the mud, they will cause damage to the environment.

0224 500gpm mud recycling system

In previous years, when people were not clear about the severe contaminate on the environment or when people cared more about money than the environment, some drilling mud was discharged directly to the soil, and since then, such soils became barren. In recent years, all the countries and regions are issuing laws and registrations for protecting the environment and forbid the oil companies, drilling companies or service companies to dispose the used drilling mud improperly.

So the demand of the solids control and drilling waste management system is becoming more and more serious thing. How to manage the drilling waste or the drilling cuttings from the drilling mud? Where will the drilling mud go after being used? There are different answers to this question based on the drilling mud is a water based mud or oil based mud, mostly cases are like that, the water based mud is disposed after treated by the waste management system while the oil based mud will be transported to other projects for re-use. Why? It needs a calculation and a compare of the cost for transportation and the cost of mud itself. Water itself is of less cost and if the transportation cost is high, it is better to dispose the mud after being treated. But oil is expensive, so it is more economic to re-use it.

GN Solids Control is the number 1 waste management system provider in China, and its vertical cuttings dryer and centrifuge combination is both suitable for WBM and OBM also SBM.

 

The Decanter Centrifuge Principle and Theory in Operation

The decanter centrifuge work on a principle of heavy solids settling , with the “ G “ force number by centrifugal force , the solids particle will be settling down and discharge and fluids content over flow to the other end to reach fine solids separation application . You can look at the centrifuge bowl to understand the principle of decanter centrifuge. The solids in the drilling mud will settle to the bottom of centrifuge bowl by centrifugal force, if you want to speed the settling process, you can reduce the height of the centrifuge bowl, which means, you need make centrifuge bowl diameter smaller to reduce solids settling time. If you want to keep the centrifuge bowl diameter, you can increase the centrifuge length to allow solids settling longer time.

decanter centrifuge 3

In the drilling mud, different size and density solids will get different settling speed because centrifuge principle separation by centrifugal force. The centrifuge can supply a kind of method to increase the settling force for suspended solids in drilling mud. The decanter centrifuge can separate solids particles 2 – 10 microns size range.

 

The decanter centrifuge is horizontal steel bowl with rotating speed from 1600 RPM to 4000 RPM depending on bowl diameter and design. The dual centrifuge system , the first centrifuge unit will be using for separate barite particles and it will be return to the drilling mud , the second set high speed decanter centrifuge will be using to separate fine solids than barite to lower drilling mud density .

 

GN Solids build several models of decanter centrifuge for different applications and usage , the minimum centrifuge is a 220 mm diameter decanter centrifuge for diamond drilling industry , the middle speed centrifuge choose a 450 mm diameter bowl with 1105 mm bowl length for 1800 RPM speed . The high speed decanter centrifuge will be for 360 mm bowl diameter and 1270 mm bowl length for 3200 RPM. Please contact GN Solids for more info.
