In order to treat the drilling cuttings, operators need to find the best way to transfer the drilling cuttings to the treatment equipment like high G drying shaker and vertical G cuttings dryer. The most popular way for transfer drilling cuttings is the screw conveyors (Auger Conveyor), and the drilling cuttings transfer pump.

Part 1) Screw Conveyor for Drilling cuttings transfer

Screw conveyor is also called Auger Conveyor, it is one of the most popular equipment for transfer drilling cuttings. The advantages for the Auger conveyor is the simple design, and easy operation, as well as a long length for picking up the cuttings discharged from the shale shakers or mud cleaners on the drilling rig mud tanks. The disadvantages are that, it is not easy to layout for transfer from one equipment to the other, especially for the long distance. Since the conveyor cannot lay at degree over 45 degree. And it is not good to transfer drilling cuttings with high moisture.

Part 2) Vacuum Pump or Solids Pump for drilling cuttings transfer.

The vacuum pump or solids pump are used to transfer drilling cuttings. The big advantages are long distance transfer with easy layout, and it can be use for transfer high moisture drilling cuttings. The vacuum pump or solids pump are driven by air, so it is safe to operate in hazards  areas to be explosion proof. The disadvantage are the power consumption for creating air, and not suitable to pick up drilling cuttings from different equipment like the shale shakers and mud cleaners on the mud tank.

So most of the cases, operators will combine the drilling cuttings screw conveyor and the solids pump together to transfer drilling cuttings to the treatment equipment.

GN Solids Control is able to provide you the screw conveyor and drilling cuttings transfer pump for the waste management operations. Also high G drying shaker and vertical cuttings dryers are available from GN factory in stock.

In this article, we mainly introduce the different between “Solids Control” & “Drilling Waste Management”.

“Solids control” & “Drilling Waste Management” are frequently heard with the drilling mud, what is the difference between them?

Simply, we can say for the “Solids control”, it is to separate out the solid phase from the liquid-phase mud; for the “Drilling waste management”, it is to separate out the liquid phase from the solid-phase drilling waste;

1. Solids Control

Drilling mud is the necessary material for the drilling work especially in the oil & gas drilling, there will be a lot of drilling cuttings when the mud circulates out from the well hole, which will influence the physical property of mud and the mud must be treated before going into the well hole again.

The treatment process with the drilling mud is called “Solids Control”, because mainly the drilling cuttings are the solid particles with different sizes, it is called “Solids Control”.

During the treatment process, the solids control equipments like Shale Shaker, Desander, Desilter, Decanter Centrifuge, Centrifugal Pump, Mud Tank, Mud Agitator will be used;

Usually the treatment process is exited on the well site;

2. Drilling Waste Management

During the “Solids Control” process, the separated out solid particles or drilling cuttings by the equipments like shaker, desander, deacnter centrifuge are same called as “Drilling Waste”.

Usually the drilling waste will be temporarily collected and poured into a pit on the well site. Then regularly they will be transported to the special facility for accepting the treatment, the “treatment process” is called “drilling waste management”.

The main treatment process is to further lower down the liquid content (oil, gas, etc) in the drilling waste (that is also why we say it is to separate out the liquid from the solid) and lower down the harm to the environment.

During the treatment process, the equipments like centrifuge, high-G shaker, vertical cutting dryer, screw conveyor will be used very ofen.

As compared with the “Solids Control”, “Drilling Waste Management” is to further lower down the liquid content based on the former, so the latter has a higher requirements with the equipments.

Such as the centrifuge and high-G shaker, compared with that used in the “Solids Control”, they must have higher rotation speed or vibration strength in the “drilling waste management”.

• Firstly, a double deck shale shaker will be used for pre-separation.

It is a linear motion shale shaker model GNZS706-HB. It is a compact design double deck shale shaker especially designed for compact mud system, like small mud system for piling, underground construction, trenchless, HDD, waterwell drilling, micro tunneling, etc…

The top deck shaker screen utilize coarse screen to separate stone and big solids. The bottom deck screen utilize fine screen to separate the fine solids. After the 2 steps separation, there will be big solids enter into centrifuge. It can protect the centrifuge well. And another site, it can enlarge the total treating capacity of the whole liquid removal mud separation plant.

• Secondly, a decanter centrifuge is used after shale shaker to further remove the fine solids.
• For a compact design, all above equipment are mounted in a mud tank for small footprint and easy movement.

Composite material shaker screen is a kind of shale shaker screen with metal material as basic frame, and use a special kind of plastic material to fulfill the frame. According to different API size of mesh size, 2 lays or 3layers different opening wire mesh cloth pressed on the metal and special material rubber frame.

GNCD930C Vertical cuttings dryer is the main equipment used for drilling waste treatment. It is design and made by China top solids control and drilling waste management equipment manufacturer – GN Solids Control.

Applications of GNCD930C VG dryer

GNCD930C VG dryer is mainly used to treat oil base mud and cuttings. Before enter into the vertical cuttings dryer, the oil on cuttings is normally around 15% ~ 20%. After VG dryer, it can be reduced to 3 ~ 5%.

With its patent design of the GNCD930C, there are also many customers use it for water base mud. It can be used in some cases. But the final result varies per jobsite situation and material condition.

Flushing pump system is a necessary part of GNCD930C VG dryer. GN Solids Control choose German brand NETZSCH screw pump. Why we choose this pump as flushing pump? Many clients wonder: can we use other normal pump or water pump as flush pump?

The answer is NO. The season is that, the flush of vertical cuttings dryer is not from water. As VG dryer is mainly used to treat oil base mud and cuttings. Water cannot flush oily sludge. Oil or clean mud should be used to flush the dryer.

Why GN choose NEZSCH screw pump as flush pump of vertical cuttings dryer?

1) The screw pump is from German brand. It is a international brand. The stator and rotor are made in German, quality is reliable.

2) The rotor material are made from SS316L. For a longer life time.

3) NETZSCH is an international brand. They have services center in many countries. They offer global services to its products, wherever you buy it. e.g. You buy a screw pump from GN from China, you can source after sales services from Nigeria, from UAE, from Russia, from USA. You only need to show that the name plate, they have all the details in their systems.

4) GN have partner agreement with NETZSCH company, can offer NETZSCH pump at very good price.
