GN Solids Control makes full line solids control equipment for onshore and offshore drilling rigs, like shale shaker, mud cleaner, desander, desilter, decanter centrifuge and drilling mud mixing system.
Recently, GN Solids Control just finished 3 sets Drilling Mud Desander and Desilter Assembly for offshore drilling company. It is 3-in-1 mud cleaner which is shale shaker complied with desander and desilter assembly. The model is GNZJ594F-3S12N. It is 1500GPM mud cleaner. The 3 sets 1500GPM mud cleaner is specially designed with lifting frame. And it is tested by authorized third party for CCS lifting certificate. It is specially designed to suit for marine offshore platform.
Unlike onshore drilling mud solids control equipment, the offshore drilling mud solids control equipment is usually higher standard. Below are some of the difference, which make the equipment cost for offshore drilling rig mud system is higher than offshore.
1) It’s up to the end users. Some end users can accept normal explosion proof motors. Some offshore rig projects requests equipment which are equipped with marine explosion proof motors and control panels. It is higher standard for anti-corrossive from sea water and mist.
2) The painting for offshore drilling is different with offshore projects. Powder painting is widely used for onshore equipment. Powder electrostatic spraying can get thicker coating, and the coating has good corrosion resistance. In addition, dusting can cover up some marks that can’t be done by spray paint, and it is not easy to scratch. The important thing is that the dusting powder is an environmentally friendly material, does not contain VOC, is non-toxic, and does not pollute the environment; But powder painting is not suitable for offshore platform. It is not as good anti-corrosive performance as normal painting.
3) Most offshore platform have special request on lifting design and lifting certificate. The lifting design and lifting certificate is up to the project request. GN Solids Control can offer offshore lifting certificate by DNV or by CCSI. If clients prefer certificates issued by other parties, please check with GN sales engineers.
