A mud recycling system, also known as a mud cleaning system or drilling fluid recycling system, is a crucial component in the process of drilling for oil and gas, as well as in other drilling operations such as those in geotechnical engineering or mineral exploration. During drilling, a mixture of water, mud (or drilling fluid), and solids is pumped down the drill pipe to lubricate the drill bit, carry away drill cuttings, stabilize the borehole, and maintain pressure. This drilling fluid becomes contaminated with drill cuttings, rock fragments, and other debris as it circulates through the wellbore. A mud recycling system is designed to remove these contaminants from the drilling fluid, allowing it to be reused in the drilling process. The system typically consists of several components such as. Shale Shakers,These are the first line of defense in a mud recycling system. Shale shakers use vibrating screens to separate larger solids from the drilling fluid. Desanders and Desilters: After passing through the shale shakers, the drilling fluid may still contain smaller particles. Desanders and desilters are hydrocyclone-based devices that further remove fine solids from the mud. Centrifuges: Centrifuges are used to separate even finer solids from the drilling fluid. They operate on the principle of centrifugal force, spinning the mud at high speeds to separate solids from the liquid. Mud Tanks: These are large tanks used to store and process the drilling fluid as it undergoes recycling. Different compartments within the mud tanks allow for various stages of processing. Mixing Equipment: Mixing equipment is used to add chemicals or adjust the properties of the drilling fluid as needed. Pumps: Various pumps are employed to move the drilling fluid between different components of the mud recycling system. Control Systems: These systems monitor and regulate the operation of the mud recycling equipment, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. By recycling the drilling fluid, mud recycling systems help reduce waste, minimize environmental impact, and lower drilling costs by reducing the need for fresh drilling fluid. They also contribute to safer drilling operations by maintaining consistent drilling fluid properties, which is crucial for well stability and control. At GN we can provide and manufacture any system according to clients needs and wants. From a single cone to a complete turnkey systems. We can proudly built them.

A drilling mud shale shaker is a critical piece of equipment used in the process of drilling for oil and gas. It is part of the solids control system, which is designed to remove solid particles from the drilling fluid or mud. The shale shaker works by vibrating the screen or mesh, allowing liquid to pass through while separating and removing larger particles. During the drilling process, a mixture of water, clay, and various chemicals known as drilling mud is circulated down the drill string and back up to the surface. As the drilling mud returns to the surface, it carries with it cuttings and other solid particles. The shale shaker is employed to separate these solid particles from the mud. The shale shaker utilizes a series of vibrating screens or mesh to separate the solids from the liquid. The screens are designed with different-sized openings to allow for the classification of particles based on their size. The shale shaker vibrates, causing the drilling mud to pass through the screens. The vibrating motion helps to convey the cuttings off the screens and prevents them from clogging. The separated solids are collected and typically discharged into a waste pit or container for further disposal. The use of a shale shaker is essential in maintaining the properties of the drilling mud, ensuring it remains effective in the drilling process. Solids control is crucial for drilling efficiency, equipment protection, and environmental compliance. As it assist with waste management and it is the first and upmost important process for the solids control. A shale shaker can determine the result of your whole mud cycle process. It is like a great start, that will lead a great process. Unlikely if you have a bad start then you will struggle later on. It is how crucial it is have the knowledge of the shale shaker. The right set of screens and the angels are all little details that make a huge difference in your process of solids control. At GN our shakers are well respected and used by great number of valued clients, with really important projects around the world. That is how we make a difference in your process and how we develop and keep up to date technology in our shale shakers.

The recovery of drilling fluids using a shale shaker is a crucial process in the drilling industry, particularly in the context of drilling for oil and gas in shale formations. Shale shakers are a type of equipment used in the solids control system to remove large solids and cuttings from the drilling fluid, also known as mud. The recovery of fluids involves separating the drilling fluid from the drilled cuttings, allowing the fluid to be reused in the drilling process. Our GN shale shakers are build with best techniques and user friendly. Such as our prementioned composite frame screen with gear unit for fast screen change and longer screen life. Also our shakers are deigned and heat treated to with hold G force up to 8.0 G. One of most unique feature is our patent shaker screen seal technology for avoiding fine solids bypass and to have easy maintenance. At GN we use Italy OLI or US Martin brand vibration motors. GN control panel is used from the best of components in the market, such as Siemens or Schneider. Here is how a shaker works or processes the material. The drilling process, drilling fluid is circulated down the drill pipe and back up to the surface. This fluid serves various purposes, including cooling the drill bit, carrying away cuttings, and providing stability to the wellbore. The drilling fluid, after carrying cuttings up to the surface, contains a mixture of liquids and solids. The solids control system, which includes the shale shaker, is employed to separate the cuttings from the drilling fluid. The shale shaker is a vibrating screen that uses a series of mesh screens to separate the larger cuttings from the drilling fluid. As the fluid and cuttings mixture is fed onto the shaker screen, the vibration separates the cuttings, allowing the drilling fluid to pass through the screens. The separated drilling fluid, now free from larger solids, is collected in a tank beneath the shale shaker. This recovered fluid can then be sent back into the drilling process, contributing to cost savings and environmental sustainability. The cuttings, once separated from the drilling fluid, are typically collected and transported for disposal. Proper disposal methods are important to comply with environmental regulations. Efficient fluids recovery with shale shakers is essential for maintaining drilling operations, reducing costs associated with drilling fluid management, and minimizing environmental impact through responsible waste disposal practices. It’s worth noting that the specifics of the process can vary depending on the type of shale shaker and the characteristics of the drilling operation.

Desanders and desilters are equipment used in the drilling industry, specifically in the context of drilling mud systems. These systems are crucial in oil and gas drilling operations for various purposes, including maintaining wellbore stability, cooling and lubricating the drill bit, carrying cuttings to the surface, and preventing blowouts. A desander is a piece of equipment designed to remove sand and silt-sized particles from drilling fluids. It typically operates after the shale shaker and degasser in the drilling mud system. The desander uses centrifugal force to separate solid particles from the drilling mud. The mud enters the desander, and through centrifugal motion, the heavier particles are thrown to the outer wall and eventually discharged, while the cleaner mud is directed back into the mud system. A desilter is similar to a desander but is designed to remove finer solids, typically in the range of 15 to 74 microns. It operates downstream from the desander and is used to further refine the drilling mud by removing smaller particles. Like the desander, the desilter uses centrifugal force to separate the solids from the mud. It consists of hydrocyclones that generate a strong swirling motion, allowing the separation of finer particles. Both desanders and desilters play crucial roles in maintaining the properties of the drilling mud, ensuring its effectiveness in the drilling process. Efficient removal of solid particles is essential for the drilling equipment’s longevity, preventing damage and optimizing drilling performance. These components are part of a broader system that includes other equipment like shale shakers, mud pumps, and mud agitators, all working together to maintain the drilling mud’s quality throughout the drilling process. With the use of gravitational and centrifugal forces, it creates the effect where heavier content exits through the bottom and lighter content to the top. With these two equipment attached to a shale shaker makes up a mud cleaner system. As being the second stage process for the mud cycles, it is really important how you set up your system and manage it. You can run your product more than one time through these machines, and that makes it easier for the operation and the product that you are looking for.

The T series GN Decanter Centrifuge is the dewatering type of centrifuge.  It ranges from 9in to 30in bowl. A dewatering centrifuge is a specialized type of centrifuge used for separating solids from liquids in a slurry or suspension. The primary purpose of a dewatering centrifuge is to remove water or liquid content from solid materials, leaving behind a drier substance. This process is commonly used in various industries such as wastewater treatment, mining, food processing, and chemical manufacturing. Also in drilling mud, environmental protection sewage, oily sludge, chip fluid, sand washing water, mineral water, soda white mud, and salt mud dewatering. It has a drive type of VFD, PLC, and HMI. It is made up of stainless steel ss2205 and ss316. For wear protection it has tungsten carbide tiles. The way it works is, the slurry or suspension containing solids and liquid is introduced into the rotating drum or bowl of the centrifuge. The drum of the centrifuge rotates rapidly, creating centrifugal force. This force causes the heavier solid particles to move outward and settle against the inner wall of the drum. The centrifugal force separates the slurry into two phases: a denser solid phase that accumulates near the drum’s inner wall and a lighter liquid phase that remains closer to the center. As the drum continues to rotate, the separated solid phase experiences further compression, aiding in the removal of additional liquid. The dewatered solids form a cake along the inner surface of the drum. Once the dewatering process is complete, the separated liquid is discharged from the centrifuge, and the dewatered solids (cake) are typically removed manually or through automated mechanisms. Dewatering centrifuges find applications in various industries where the separation of solids and liquids is crucial for environmental compliance, product quality, or process efficiency. They are especially common in wastewater treatment plants, mining operations, and industries dealing with high-volume liquid-solid separation processes. It decreases the waste and separates the liquids, some product was water so pure that it can be released back to nature or to be reused in the operation. GN centrifuges are one of the best equipment when comparing to the ones three times of its cost.

A submersible slurry pump is a type of pump designed to handle abrasive and high-density slurries. Slurry pumps are used in various industries, such as mining, dredging, construction, and wastewater treatment, where there is a need to pump a mixture of solid particles and liquids. At GN we have ten different sizes of our submersible slurry pumps. From 10m height to 24m height, different flow capacity and outlet diameter. These pumps are designed to be submerged in the fluid they are pumping. This design is beneficial for applications where the pump needs to be placed directly in the slurry or fluid. Submersible slurry pumps are specifically engineered to handle slurries with a high concentration of abrasive solids. They are equipped with robust impellers and wear-resistant materials to withstand the abrasive nature of the pumped material. The pump is enclosed in a sealed housing to prevent water or other fluids from entering the motor or other critical components. This submersible design also enhances safety and minimizes the risk of leaks. These pumps are built with heavy-duty materials and construction to withstand the harsh conditions associated with pumping abrasive slurries. Materials such as high-chrome alloys are often used for wear parts. Some submersible slurry pumps offer variable speed controls and features for adjusting the agitating force. This allows operators to optimize performance based on the specific characteristics of the slurry being pumped. The design of these pumps aims to maximize efficiency in pumping slurries, ensuring that a high percentage of the input power is converted into useful work. Submersible slurry pumps find applications in various industries, including mining (for transporting tailings and mineral processing slurries), dredging (for moving sediment and dredged materials), and wastewater treatment (for handling sludge and abrasive wastewater). It’s important to note that the selection of a submersible slurry pump should be based on factors such as the type of slurry, particle size, flow rate, and the specific requirements of the application. Proper maintenance is also crucial to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the pump in handling challenging slurry conditions. The slurry pump is the ideal centrifugal pump for feeding to decanter centrifuge, and feeding from mud pit for to the shale shakers on the mud systems, and desander or desilter.

Desander in solids control is a crucial component in the process of drilling fluids management within the oil and gas industry. Its primary purpose is to remove solid particles, such as sand and silt, from drilling fluids to maintain the desired properties of the fluid and enhance the efficiency of drilling operations. The main function of a desander is to separate and remove larger solid particles, typically ranging from 40 to 100 microns, from the drilling fluid. By removing these solids, the desander helps maintain the rheological properties and stability of the drilling fluid, ensuring it can effectively carry cuttings to the surface. The core component of a desander is a set of hydrocyclones arranged in a manifold. These cyclones use centrifugal force to separate solid particles from the drilling fluid. Drilling fluid containing solids enters the desander through an inlet pipe, and the cleaned fluid exits through an outlet pipe. The separated solids are discharged through the underflow port, while the cleaned drilling fluid exits through the overflow port. Drilling fluid, often called mud, enters the desander unit at high pressure through the inlet. The hydrocyclones in the desander create a swirling motion, causing heavier solid particles to move toward the outer wall and exit through the underflow port. The cleaned drilling fluid, with reduced solid content, exits through the overflow port. Desander solids control is typically part of a larger solids control system that includes other equipment like shale shakers, desilters, and centrifuges. These components work together to ensure the drilling fluid meets specified criteria for reuse in the drilling process. By maintaining the quality of the drilling fluid, desander solids control contributes to efficient drilling operations. Removing abrasive solids helps protect downstream equipment, such as pumps and mud motors, from wear and damage. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the proper functioning of desander solids control equipment. This includes monitoring and cleaning the cyclones and checking for any wear and tear. Desanders play a crucial role in the overall solids control process, helping to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of drilling operations in the oil and gas industry. At GN we provide our customers with customized desanders, according to their functions and operations. We can attach them to shale shaker, and with desilters or by it self.
