GNGH Solidification Unit, Final Treatment for Drilling Cuttings

The solidification unit is a newly adopted solutions for final treatment of drilling cuttings from both the OBM and WBM, especially the water based mud. It is original designed for the drilling cuttings discharged from the traditional drilling waste management systems, the high G dryer and decanter centrifuge, or ,the VG dryer and decanter centrifuge in case of oil based mud.

Normally the drilling cuttings from the traditional drilling cuttings waste management systems are not dry enough to be discharged directly. They need to be transported to other places for further treatment. In order to solve this problem, GN has designed and put into use the solidification unit, it could be connected along side the rig, and treat the drilling cuttings directly until they are inactive and could be buried on rig site as re-fill soil per some countries and regions’ rules.

Working procedure of GNGH Solidification Unit:

By using 3 hoppers, 1 big one and 2 smaller ones, the drilling cuttings to be treated and the other one or two additional components could enter the unit and mixed together. Normally the 2 components are respectively absorber and cement. They made the active things in the drilling cuttings to be inactive and make it harmless for the environment.

Features of GNGH Solidification Unit:

GNGH-15A solidification unit is designed to have 3 VFD’s and it is an automatic operating unit. The 2 hoppers respectively for feeding the absorbers and cement could be used at same time or separately, depending on the operators’ request and the cuttings’ condition. By using the 3 VFD’s, the operator could also adjust the feeding ratio of the 3 to get an ideal result.

Now this solidification unit is used for more than one applications like the mud tank cleaning work and other projects. If you need any more information or have any interest, welcome to visit our website or contact us directly.

GN High Configuration Mud Plant

As the most well-known Chinese solids control brand, GN Solids Control has been working in oil and gas drilling industry for many years. GN clients are from more than 60 regions and countries including the extra hot places like the Middle East and Africa and extra cold places like Russia and Canada. GN’s main products including:

  1. Solids control equipment and mud cleaning systems for oil and gas drilling including the mud plant.
  2. Waste management equipment and systems for oil and gas drilling, including the drilling cuttings waste management system and drilling waste management systems
  3. Mud recycling systems for HDD, TBM, CBM and water well drilling
  4. Shaker screens

Those above mentioned equipment are mainly used for physical separation based on the solids particle size in the liquid. And the equipment are used for separate out the particles. And the barrier between them is not so clear.

Like the high configuration mud plant, it plays some function for the solids control system. In order to reduce cost, some drilling companies don’t use decanter centrifuge in their solids control system, so when the old mud is transported and collected in a mud plant, the mud plant has to prepare a decanter centrifuge for further treating the mud. GN Solids Control produces the complete mud plant components including mud tanks, mud agitators, mud guns and mud mixing system And GNLW series decanter centrifuges are also GN’s core products. Even in some high configuration mud plants, clients use GN dewatering unit for separate the extra fine particles from the drilling mud.

 

GN mud plants are welcomed with clients. Some Chinese giant drilling companies are purchasing mud plants from GN, and GN mud plant carrying GN’s Logo are exported to many other countries in Europe, Africa, Australia and other places around the globe.
