500GPM Mud Recycling System for HDD, CBM drilling and water well drilling

500GPM is a most popular mud recycling system model suiting for HDD rigs, CBM drilling and water well drilling rigs. GN Solids Control offers 3 options for standard design 500GPM mud recycling system: GNMS-500B GNMS-500G, and GNMS-500GL. All the 3 models system for capacity for mud treatment, recycling and mixing. The major difference is as below:

1) GNMS-500B is an economic standard mud treatment and recycling system for HDD rigs, CBM drilling and water well drilling rigs. The main processing equipment is a double deck mud cleaner. The double deck mud cleaner is a combination of a double deck shale shaker and desilter cone assembly. It can save footprint and save cost. The usable tank capacity is 10m3 of the total tank system.
Total power of GNMS-500G mud recycling system is 84kw.
It suits for customer with limited space at jobsite, or for clients want to save cost.

2) GNMS-500G is a general standard and most popular model of mud treatment and recycling system for HDD rigs, CBM drilling and water well drilling rigs. The system includes a single deck shale shaker. A separate mud cleaner is combined with shale shaker, desander and desilter cone.
Tank useful capacity of GNMS-500G mud recycling system is 16m3. It is bigger than option 1 GNMS-500B mud recycling system.
Total power of GNMS-500G mud recycling system is 126kw.

3) All processing equipment of GNMS-500GL is the same with GNMS-500G. Total power of GNMS-500GL mud recycling system is 126kw. But it is with a bigger size tank and a tank usable capacity. It is with 25m3.
All shale shaker and mud cleaner are complete with a full set of high quality composite material shaker screen while dispatch from GN Solids Control factory.
All GN made mud tank will be treated with Ball Blast before painting. All tank are with External paint and internal coating for better anti-corrosive.

High quality composite material pretension screens

GN Solids Control is a famous manufacturer for high quality replacement shaker screens for different shale shakers. GN high quality composite material screens are all made from the first class materials. All screens are adopted with pretension before hot press. GN high quality pretension screens is with a better tension degree compare with OEM screens. It ensures a better lifetime of the screens.
GN Solids Control is also an international top class brand for solids control equipment, and drilling waste management equipment. GN Solids Control is with location in Beijing China, Houston USA and Moscow Russia. GN Solids Control manufactures top quality replacement shaker screens. GN Shaker Screen is tested by independent third party USA company according to API RP 13C(I-SO13501). . GN Solids Control replacement screens can suit for GN own brand shakers and all other major brand shakers for the drilling industry.

GN Solids Control owns the latest design production machine for the shaker screen manufacturing. The advanced processing equipment ensure a high efficiency manufacturing and reliable quality control.
Below are some of the process equipment GN Solids Control owns for shaker screen manufacturing: Composite Frame Injection Machine, Steel Frame Fabrication Machine, robot automatic welding machine, CNC machine for screen edge cut, hot press machines, packing machine, etc…
How to order the right size shaker screens:
Besides shaker model, API No. is another important parameter to ensure clients order the right size screens. API RP13C is the general standard for shaker screen manufacturing and labeling. API is short for American Petroleum Institute; “API Number” is determined by API RP13C or ISO13501. For different brand shaker screens, if the API size is the same, it means the screens can be interchangeable. The cut point is related to the combined 3-layer wire mesh test result. So before order, GN will need API number, or the cut point, to define a more proper shaker screen configuration.

Automatic Drilling Cuttings Solidification Unit for CNPC Project

Recently, GN Solids Control finished the fabrication of a set of automatic Drilling Cuttings Solidification Unit. The Drilling Cuttings Solidification Unit is a customized design for CNPC Project. Based on GN standard design, clients ask for more smart control to realize the automatic running of the unit. The automatic Drilling Cuttings Solidification Unit can minimize the manpower for operating the solidification unit, and furthermore to reduce operation cost of the project.

Automatic Drilling Cuttings Solidification Unit for CNPC Project

Below are some figures of the automatic Drilling Cuttings Solidification Unit for CNPC project:
The Drilling Cuttings Solidification Unit is equipped with automatic control system. PLC control system control the 3 sets feeding screw conveyor: 1 conveyer for lime feeding, 1 conveyor for absorber feeding, and a main screw conveyor for the drill cuttings transfer and feeding.
The lime feeding screw conveyer,
The mixing tank is equipped with an automatic control valve, and connected to the PLC control system. The automatic control valve can open for discharge and close for mixing automatically by the PLC direct control system. The Drilling Cuttings Solidification Unit can be used for continuous solidification and fixed agitation. The 3 feeding screw conveyors ( 1 for lime feeding, 1 for absorber feeding, and 1 for the drill cuttings feeding) can be setup the feeding rate and transfer rate, then the 3 conveyers can be operated with setup rate and time to realize timing agitation and timing discharge. With the automatic PLC control system, the drill cuttings solidification unit can also realize continuous mixing and discharge.
Drilling Cuttings Solidification Unit is mainly used to treat water based mud cuttings. Besides Drilling Cuttings Solidification Unit, GN Solids Control can also offer high G shale shaker, dewatering unit, high speed decanter centrifuge, etc…Furthermore, GN Solids Control offers Vertical cuttings dryer and centrifuge for oil base mud and cuttings.
GN Solids Control offers turnkey solution for all kinds of drilling mud and drill cuttings: oil base mud, water based mud and WOBM mud.

New technology to increase the performance of standard solid control equipment system

Sometimes, clients will come to GN to ask for solutions for their new project. Currently a customer said they were working on a project for their client on the improvement of their solid control equipment, and they ask for support from GN Solids Control. As they know GN Solids Control is a specialist for mud solids control and drilling waste management. And GN Solids Control keeps growing fast. GN promotes new equipment and technologies every year. Their challenge is the short time to present to their client a new idea to improve solids control in their rigs. They need to submit their solutions within 3 days. GN Solids Control has rich experience for the zero-discharge mud recovery system, and offers them suitable solution very soon. Their client is looking for a new technology to increase the performance of standard solid control equipment system, improve quality treatment and consequently improve drilling operations with good environmental impact. Their idea which needs more technical support has as principal innovation from the standard process used currently to provide a separate kit including the following high performance equipment’s: 1) Two Decanter centrifuges with barite recovery 2) Combined mud cleaner with desander (means desilter + desander and shakers with one or double level). As their existing solids control system mud cleaner is very poor quality. They need to replace it. 3) Vertical cuttings dryer. 4) Small tanks to collect the fluids and transfer it to rig mud system As their clients may use oil based mud or water based mud. The cuttings type is not for sure. GN Solids Control recommend them to submitted the new idea to their client with two proposed design for OBM and WBM based on two skid: Modular 1: 1 full set of Compacted mud cleaner (desander + desilter) 2 ea feeding pump for the Compacted mud cleaner (desander + desilter) 1 full set of mud tank to collect the fluids recovered from mud cleaner, and transfer it to rig mud system. The tank system is complete with all pipelines and accessories (valves, ladders, guardrails, clean gate, walkways, etc…) within the tank system, explosion proof lighting system, and explosion proof control system for all the equipment within the tank system Modular 2: 1-skid cuttings drying system. Client can choose to use high G shaker for water base mud or VG dryer for OBM. Screw conveyors for solids transfer also showed for their information.
