During years of development, GN Solids Control is becoming an international famous brand, even in the other side of the globe, in South America, GN Solids Control is a well-recognized brand among the drilling companies and oil service companies. Just recently, there is one set of GN decanter centrifuge unit arrived to the drilling rig jobsite in South America, and its good performance gained applause from the end users.

1. What does this client choose from GN?

In this project, cause there is a decanter centrifuge needed in the solids control system, client chose to buy a GNLW363 Decanter Centrifuge and its feeding pump, a screw pump, and a telescopic skid.

2. About GNLW363C-VFD Decanter Centrifuge:

GNLW363C-VFD Decanter centrifuge is the most popular model among all GN decanter centrifuges. It has a centrifuge bowl of 14 inch, which is the standard size in oil and gas drilling industry, especially for the solids control work. The bowl length and diameter ratio is 3, and the bowl rotating speed could be up to 3800RPM. It is efficient to separate out particles from 2 to 5 microns. The bowl material is duplex stainless steel, which is even better than the SS316, GN makes those bowls by centrifugal casting for a stronger structure. By using a VFD control panel, it can reach different ideal speeds from zero to 3200RPM. That’s in an oil and gas drilling rig, it could be used as a solids control centrifuge or a waste management centrifuge. When working at middle speed, it can even be used for barite recovery.

3.The VFD Control Panel.

In case of explosive proof requests, the VFD Control Panel is more strict than the constant speed solutions. GN Solids Control is also a certified control panel manufacturer and this VFD Control panel for the GNLW363 is a positive pressurized control panel with 3 VFD’s respectively for the centrifuge main motor, centrifuge back motor and the feeding pump.
