GN Solids Vacuum Pump sold to Oilfield Service company for drilling waste handling

GN Solids Control vacuum transfer pump is widely used at oil and gas drilling field. The major mud service company COSL bought some vacuum pumps from GN Solids Control for their onshore and offshore drilling rigs. They order big model and small models vacuum pump to suit for various applications.

GN Solids Control Sludge vacuum pump is a type of high load and strong suction capacity vacuum transfer pump. It can also be called as solids transfer pump or cuttings transfer pump. It is a 100% air driven pump without electrical components. And there is no rotary components inside the pump. The special structure design enables the pump can work in the very tough circumstance with less maintenance. It is ideal equipment for transferring sludge with high solid content up to 80% and high specific gravity material.

Drilling Waste Vacuum Pump

GN Solids Control Sludge vacuum pump has many advantages:
The pump is high efficiency Venturi device which can produce a vacuum up to 10 meters water column for material suction under high air flow circumstance.
The pump is designed with compact structure, almost no wearing parts, for high density material transferring like cuttings and oily sludge etc.

Oil drilling company can use the vacuum pump as vacuum cleaner to clean the spilled oil and mud on the mud tanks and to clean the field.

Mud service companies can use the solids and sludge vacuum pump to transfer drill cuttings from waste pit to drilling waste management system, to separate the cuttings by high G drying shaker, vertical cutting dryer, or decanter centrifuges.

The engineering company or environment protection company can use the vacuum pump to suck the oil sludge from the waste pit, and transfer to oil sludge separation system for waste management treatment. And separate the oil sludge by 2-phase and 3-phase centrifugal separations.

Tank cleaning company can use the pump to suck the sludge and slurry at tank bottom and transfer to far away.

1000HP Drilling Rig Solids Control System for Middle East

GN Solids Control is working on a customized solids control system for oil and gas drilling for 1000HP rig. The system is fully customized by GN Solids Control and the client in middle east. After final inspection, the mud system will be shipped to New Zealand to equip their oil rig.

It is a 3-tank mud system plus a separated skid mounted mixing unit. The mud tanks are the same size as 40ft container: 12192x2438x2500mm. There is a shale shaker tank for drilling mud solids control, a suction tank and a reserve tank for mud storage. After that, there is a dual mixing unit. All mixing pumps and feeding pumps are allocated on the skid.

1# mud tank is shale shaker tank. There are 2 shale shakers and a 3-in-1 mud cleaner included in the tank. The shale shaker model is GNZS594F-SHBF. It is a 4-panel shale shaker with 4pcs pretension screens.

After shale shakers, there is a combo type mud cleaner, which is composed of a 4-panel shale shaker, number 16 desilter cone (4 inch) and number 3 desander cones (10 inch).

#2 mud tank are reserve tank for mud storage. The size of the tank is 12192x2438x2500mm. It is the same size as 40ft container skid. The tank is devided into 3 compartments: Active compart 1, Active compart 2, Active compart 3. There are essential mud agitators and mud guns equipped on each each tank to prevent the drilling mud from settle down.

#3 mud tank is suction tank for mud discharge and mud storage. The size of the tank is 12192x2438x2500mm. It is the same size as 40ft container skid. The tank is devided into 3 compartments: Active suction I, Active suction II, Active suction III. There are essential mud agitators and mud guns equipped on each each tank to prevent the drilling mud from settle down.

4# mixing skid are equipped with 2 mixing hoppers. Both hoppers are 6 inch size. There are 2 mixing pumps for using together with the mixing hoppers. The 2 feeding pumps for desander cones and desilter cones of the mud cleaner are also allocated on the mixing skid. All the 4 pumps are the model model with 75kw AC motor. In this case, all pumps are all spare parts are interchangeable.
