Oily sludge separation system to treat drilling cuttings in Uganda
GN Solids Control is a leading manufacturer on drilling rig mud solids control system, drilling cuttings treatment system, and oily sludge separation system. GN Solids Control is a private company without any government background. GN Solids Control main market is international market. Its solids control equipment and drilling waste management equipment have been exported to 74 countries and regions till now.
China National Offshore Oil Corporation ("CNOOC") is the largest offshore oil & gas producer in China. CNOOC is a state-owned company operating directly under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council of the People's Republic of China.
In year 2016, GN Solids Control offered an oily sludge separation system for CNOOC. The project destination is Uganda in Africa. GN Solids Control offered a turnkey solution for the drilling cuttings treatment project of CNOOC. Till now, the system have been running for 1 year. Per feedback from jobsite, the performance is good, CNOOC are very happy with the system.
The oily sludge separation system for drilling cuttings treatment is including below unit:
1) Automatic drilling cuttings taking unit: The unit includes portal crane, Submerged slurry pump, high pressure gun and supporting skids. It is used to transfer cuttings from the drilling cuttings pit to
2) Automatic drilling cuttings transfer unit: The unit includes high pressure washing system, V-hopper, screw conveyer, material tank and a skid for all above items.
3) Drilling cuttings shearing and separation unit: the unit includes following items: shear pump, high G shale shaker, surging tanks, transfer pump and a skid for all above items.
4) High speed solids washing system: this unit including a washing tank, mud agitator, transfer pump, high speed decanter centrifuge, automatic chemical dosing system, etc…
5) Ultrasonic oil-water separation system. This system is used to get clean water and oil. And there will be transfer pumps for the recovered oil and water.
Mud recycling system for HDD, piling and micro tunneling
GN Solids Control is the No. 1 brand in China for direct importing of compact mud recycling system for different applications, like HDD, water well drilling, piling, micro tunneling, or other no-dig underground constructions.
Why GN Solids Control mud recycling system is hot sold and welcomed by international customers? Below are some of the reasons:
1) GN mud system capacity and shale shaker capacity is defined in real drilling mud condition, like the system capacity max. 120m3/h or 240m3/h, it means the shale shaker on the mud recycling system can handle max. 120m3 or 240m3 drilling mud with API 40 screen (400microns) for 1.2g/cm2 mud density and 40s mud viscosity.
There are many other brand, they write down a huge system handling capacity, but their handling capacity is under big opening steel screen for max. water flow. It has no meaning for clients to know the real mud capacity.
2) GN Solids Control utilizes high G force oil field shale shaker to treat drilling mud. The G force is up to7.5G, and it is adjustable. Furthermore, GN Solids Control offers high quality composite material or PU material replacement screens to suit for different mud condition. The composite material screen and PU material screen can last a much longer time than the traditional metal frame or steel screens. For other brand recycling system, maybe their shaker area is bigger, but their G force is small. It is only 4G or 5G. For the same screen area, its handle capacity is much smaller than GN Solids Control high G force shale shaker. So GN Solids Control shale shaker can handle a bigger mud flow with a smaller shaker screen area. It is more compact in design.
3) For the similar configuration, GN Solids Control price should be very competetive. GN Solids Control are the original mud system manufacturer. All equipment inside the system are made by GN. There are many companies, especially the rig companies, they do not make separation equipment, they buy equipment from others, and they only build the tank.
4) Per our understanding on some U.S mud system brands, their system price is not higher, but their system is too much simple. They care too much on compact design and ignore the performance. But GN Solids Control ensures the performance first, based on the performance; GN Solids Control tries to make it more compact. That is why many customers choose us after compare with U.S and German brand.
Complete set solids control mud system for 1000hp Oil rig in Romania
Weeks ago, GN Romania partner accompanied the end user, a drilling rig contractor in Romania, came to GN Solids Control main factory in Beijing China, to check their full set mud solids control system for their new rig. It is full set mud solids control system for their 1000hp oil rig. The system is made per CE standard for European market. The electrical system is also made per European standard ATEX.
They checked the quality and the performance of the mud solids control system, and very happy with GN products. After their check, GN Solids Control logistics team dispatched the system to the Tianjin seaport for international ocean shipment.
It is a full set mud solids control system with 3 stages solids control process and 4-stage treatment.
The first step solids control process is 3 sets linear motion shale shaker, GNZS594E. It is GN latest design 4-panel shale shaker. And it is one of the most hotel sale equipment model from GN. The shaker deck is made from stainless for longer lifetime. Vibration motor is choose from Italy Oli (US Martin is available if client request).
The second step and the third step is by mud cleaner, it is combination of linear motion shale shaker, desander and desilter. The underflow shale shaker is the same with the 1rst step solids control shale shaker for spare parts interchangeable.
Furthermore, the 1000hp oil rig mud solids control equipment is equipped with below equipment:
1) 1 set of vacuum degasser. GN special design vacuum degasser is self-suction type.
2) 2 sets of centrifugal pump feeding for the desander and the desilter. The pumps are interchangeable with NOV Mission pump.
3) Dual hopper and dual pump mud mixing system, to mixing new chemicals for the system
4) 20 sets mud agitator for shale shaker tank, suction tank, mixing tank and storage tanks.
5) Mud tanks for the full mud solids control system, including trip tank, shale shaker tank, suction tank,
