this is not the first time we sent to Russian a container type drilling waste management system. In order to ensure the machine run smoothly in the cold weather, the Russian customers have been like this kind of the design of the container, the operator can operate all indoor equipment operation, the standard container size also facilitate maritime transportation.

drilling waste management

Customized the waste management system configuration is as follows:

Vertical cuttings dryer is one of the core equipment of drilling waste management system, it is mainly used for dry waste mud, in order to obtain a large number of dry solid phase and liquid phase. Drying device in the project is designed as GN D version of the model, the normal speed is 900rpm, equipped with air knife system and flushing screen and liquid circulation tank cleaning system, prevent the sieve basket of congestion.

Hose pump is used to transfer the waste material into the dryer. An advantage of using the hose pump is making it and the high density type waste transportation pump better coordination with the work. Screw conveyor installed in the dryer unit, used to discharge solid into the container. Outside the containers, boxes and waste collecting waste from the conveyor belt. The spam inbox is designed by GN to facilitate further cover transport harmful substances.

GN solids control has provide Baker hughes of Russia 4 sets, including the vertical cuttings dryer and VFD model decanter centrifuge waste management system. Their operators built a very large canvas house, the placement of the whole system in the canvas inside of a house, can make the whole system under the condition for better work when the weather temperature is very low better work.
At present, the company has 40 sets of design and manufacture of the dryer for the customer, some unit adopts the modular design, easy site layout, and other customers in order to make waste disposal fully, also adopted a system of anti-skid and decanter centrifuge.

After 3 years preparation, GN Solids Control company opened his 2nd new factory in Beijing, and brought in many advanced new processing machine for the new factory. It is only 2km away from the 1rst new factory. It is easy for management and easy for visitors to check GN factories and facilities.

Especially for the popular size 14’’, GN Solids Control can delivery in very short time. For Qty within 20 sets, 3 weeks delivery time.

GN premium high standard high speed centrifuge is a perfect choice for drilling mud and drilling waste treatment. GN offer 14’’, 18’’ and 22’’ decanter centrifuge for drilling mud and drilling waste treatment. It can also be used for waste water treatment and other applications.

Some weeks ago, GN Solids Control company dispatched a batch of shipment for a middle east job site. There are high speed decanter centrifuge 14’’ and 18’’ included in the shipment.

Parameters of the 14’’ and 18’’ drilling waste decanter centrifuge for middle east jobsite:


1) All the centrifuges are made per international high standard. The centrifuge bowl is made from duplex stainless steel (SS2205) by centrifugal casting. It is more durable than SS316L or SS304.

2) All the centrifuges equipped with ATEX zone 1 standard explosion proof VFD control panel. The centrifuge VFD control panel is equipped with ATEX standard air conditional for cooling down. It is specially designed for the high temperature area, and especially suitable for the offshore drilling rigs in Middle East and Affric, where it is high temperature and with high humidity. The VFD control panel is controlled by PLC system for smart control. GN equipped touch screen and rod control board to double ensure the performance. Clients can choose suitable type per jobsite condition.

3) German brand NETZSCH pump have been equipped to feeding for the high speed centrifuges. All the screw pumps are with VFD control and controlled by the centrifuge VFD panel to get variable speed automatically.

4) The drilling mud and drilling waste decanter centrifuge will be put on a telescopic skid. Both the centrifuge feeding pump and the smart control panel is mounted on the same skid for compact design.

5) In order to cater for the offshore drilling rig lifting standard, all the centrifuges and telescopic skids is certified by DNV per DNV2.7-1 standard.

Unlike the drilling waste management treatment, the wastewater separation request high bowl speed with lower differential speed (also called conveyer speed).

Why high differential speed (conveyer speed) cannot be used for wastewater treatment?

1) Firstly, the high differential speed (conveyer speed) will mix the fluids and the solids completely; the whole centrifuge will be like a mixing machine, rather than a separation machine.

2) Secondly, as there is normally the chemical used for wastewater treatment. The big differential speed (conveyer speed) may push the solids to the fluids outlet.

3) Furthermore, if there is chemicals dosed in the wastewater, it will generate foaming to the centrifuges.

So if your centrifuge faced above problems as above, you may need to consider reduce the differential speed (conveyer speed).

For GN design decanter centrifuge, the main drive motor driving centrifuge bowl through gearbox. The back drive motor driving propeller directly. And the gearbox ration is fixed for a centrifuge model. So how the differential speed (conveyer speed) of the decanter centrifuge can be reduced?

1) Firstly, as there is relationship between differential speed (conveyer speed), back drive motor, and gearbox ration, you can reduce the bowl speed to reduce the differential speed (conveyer speed).

With GN PLC smart control VFD decanter centrifuge, you can reduce the bowl speed directly on the VFD control panel.

For fixed speed centrifuge, you can change the centrifuge pulley and belt to reduce the differential speed (conveyer speed). It is the normal way for many professional mud service companies, as they are familiar with centrifuge running and maintenance. Fixed speed is lower cost.

For the new centrifuge users, PLC smart control VFD centrifuge is better.

2) With PLC smart control VFD centrifuge, the operator can also reduce the propeller speed through reduce the back drive motor speed. The differential speed (conveyer speed) can also be reduced in this way.

Option 2 Reduce the back drive motor speed is more recommended to reduce the differential speed (conveyer speed), in this case, the centrifuge can be running in high speed and lower differential speed (conveyer speed), it can get a better wastewater separation performance of the decanter centrifuge.
