GNSP-40 Vacuum pump is a full air driven pump. It is specially designed and made high solids contents cuttings transfer. As the pump is driven by air compressor, there is no electrical motor. It can be used in hazardous area and zone 1 areas. Advantages of GNSP-40 Vacuum pump:
1) GNSP-40 Vacuum pump is a full air driven pump. It will not generate spark and does not request electrical power. It is the safest pump for Zone 1 environment and for hazardous environment.
2) GNSP-40 Vacuum pump can handling materials with up to 80% solids content. Other pump cannot do it.
3) GNSP-40 Vacuum pump can handling cuttings up to 70mm.
4) GNSP-40 Vacuum pump can transfer to max. 1000m away. It is the ideal equipment for long distance transfer.
5) GNSP-40 Vacuum pump utilizes pipelines for suction and discharging. There is no spilling during transfer.
6) It takes a mini. Footprint for long distance transfer.
Materials can be transferred by GNSP-40 Vacuum pump:
1) Waste mud and drilling waste cuttings discharged from solids control equipment, mud cleaner, centrifuge, etc…
2) Drilling mud (Oil based mud or water based mud) in the solids control systems
3) Waste materials in the waste pit. Normally the pit is with a big depth. The waste material in the pit is with high density and viscosity. Normal equipment cannot handle it.
4) For the hazardous waste recovery.
5) Vacuum pump can transfer oily sludge waste and the sediment on tank bottom.
6) Vessel bottom cleaning
7) Animal waste and etc…
Besides vacuum pump, screw conveyor is another option for high solids content cuttings transfer. It is widely used to transfer high solids content cuttings from one equipment another for further treatment. Or transfer the materials to the collection box. For a reliable strength, the max. length of a single screw conveyer is 15m. The transfer angle should be less than 30 degree. Normally, more than 1 screw conveyer should be used for the jobsite layout and transfer.
