Drilling waste management is an important traditional section in oil and gas industry. And GN Solids Control is a well-recognized brand for providing professional solutions for this section, and also the former section of solids control and the next step for oily sludge separation. GN Solids Control is a main supplier in both domestic China and abroad, and GN products are exported to more than 70 countries in the world. Just last month, GN Solids Control has supplied an international drilling company a complete set of drilling cuttings waste management system.

A drilling cuttings waste management system is used after the solids control system, mainly for treating the discharged solids phase from the shale shaker, because the after the shale shaker, although most large particles are chose out, the solids are still quite wet. In this case, the drilling cuttings should be dried for easier disposal and more liquid phase should be collected back for saving money.

A drilling-cuttings dryer plus a decanter centrifuge is a standard choice for OBM cuttings treatment.

1. GNCD930E cuttings dryer is also called vertical cuttings dryer mainly designed for OBM drilling cuttings. With a high speed and basket with suitable screen size, it can reduce the OOC to 0.5% efficiently.

2. GNLW363 Decanter centrifuge is used as second step for cuttings treatment, for further treatment of drilling fluids collected by cuttings dryer. Its function is to remove the fine particles from 2 to 5 microns before returning the liquid back to the mud system for reuse.

In more and more countries, for each rig site, such system is becoming a must, not only for land rigs, but also for offshores. In offshore condition, they are more and more frequently used, because of the limited space on offshore platforms.GN centrifuges and drilling cuttings dryers are also chosen by many offshore drilling contractors, too.
