In the harvest September, GN Solids Control just delivered a set of compact mud recycling unit to an European client. This separation unit will be used for treatment of drilling mud from HDD projects.

Although it is a small unit with only 4 meter long, it has 2 steps for separation, including a shale shaker for first step separation and a high speed decanter centrifuge for fine solids removal. By using well designed pipes and valves, the screw pump could play both roles of feeding centrifuge from the tank below shaker when mud need further separation, or to transport the mud from shaker tank to other places when mud is clean enough after shaker.

With rich experience in European market like in oil and gas industry, the geothermal industry and etc, GN Solids Control has gained lots of knowledge for European standards including size and weight limits for transportation, the expolosive proof standards, CE standards and special electric specifications.

This system contains following equipment:

1. Mud Tank: The whole system is located on 1 skit with mud tank divided into 2 compartments, one shaker tank for receiving mud from shale shaker, the other is under the centrifuge.

2. Mini Shale shaker GNZS752. This shale shaker has only 2 pcs of shaker screens each sized 900*750mm, it can handle a 50cbm per hour capacity in average condition.

3. A GNLW223-VFD decanter centrifuge, which is designed with highest speed of 4500RPM, for separating out particles from 2 to 5 microns.

4. Screw pump located on side of tank serving 2 functions: feed the mud from shaker tank to centrifuge, or transfer mud out of the unit when there is no need for centrifuge.
