8 Sets of GN Jet Mud Mixing Hopper Units Delivered to European Drilling Client
GN Solids Control is proud to announce the successful delivery of 8 sets of Jet Mud Mixing Hopper Systems to a valued European drilling service company. Each system includes a 90KW GNSB8×6 centrifugal pump, a drilling mud mixing hopper, and a heavy-duty steel base, forming a complete and reliable mud mixing package for field operations.
The GN Jet Mud Mixing Hopper is designed for accurate and efficient preparation of drilling fluids. Using a Venturi jet design, it creates strong suction to mix bentonite, barite, and polymers evenly into the drilling mud system. GN offers two standard models — GNSLDSC (500–1500 GPM) and GNSLDMC (200–500 GPM) — both available in stainless steel or carbon steel construction. The modular layout allows easy installation on mud tanks or independent skids, offering flexibility for different drilling site configurations.
To ensure powerful circulation and stable pressure, each system is equipped with a GNSB Series centrifugal pump. These pumps are widely recognized for high efficiency, robust design, and spare parts interchangeability with NOV Mission Pumps. The GNSB8×6C-13J model delivers up to 320 m³/h flow rate and 35 m head, perfectly matching the jet hopper’s demand for high-performance mixing.
Key features of GN centrifugal pumps include tungsten carbide mechanical seals, ductile iron impellers, open-vane design for reduced axial thrust, and top-brand bearings for reliable, low-maintenance operation. The cast skid base provides excellent alignment and minimizes vibration, extending both pump and motor lifespan.
GN Jet Mud Mixing Hopper Systems have been successfully applied in oil & gas drilling, HDD, and geothermal projects across the world — including the Middle East, Russia, and South America. This new delivery to Europe once again showcases GN Solids Control's strength in providing API and ISO 9001 certified mud mixing and solids control equipment that meet international quality standards.
As a trusted global manufacturer, GN Solids Control remains committed to delivering innovative, efficient, and reliable drilling fluid systems — helping operators achieve better mud quality, improved drilling efficiency, and reduced operational costs.

GN Solids Control has successfully delivered a complete solids control system for a 1500HP drilling rig to a client in the Middle East. The system is designed to provide efficient drilling mud treatment, ensuring reliable operation even under the region’s harsh, high-temperature desert conditions.
The package includes three shale shakers GNZS594K, one mud cleaner GNZS594K-2S12NK, one vacuum degasser GNZCQ270, and two decanter centrifuges GNLW363D. Together, they form a complete multi-stage separation system for drilling mud purification.
The shale shakers act as the first defense, removing large drill cuttings and protecting downstream equipment. The mud cleaner combines desander and desilter functions to separate fine solids effectively. The vacuum degasser eliminates gas bubbles, maintaining stable mud density. Finally, the decanter centrifuges perform precision separation and fluid recovery, improving mud quality and reducing waste volume.
Beyond solids control systems for oil and gas drilling, GN also provides a wide range of waste management equipment, including vertical cutting dryers, oil sludge treatment systems, and slurry vacuum pumps, as well as industry decanter centrifuges with 9–30 inch bowl sizes. GN’s mud systems serve multiple applications—HDD, TBM, CBM, geothermal, and water well drilling—making the company a trusted global supplier of turnkey fluid management solutions.
With a strong presence in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Oman, GN continues to support Middle East drilling contractors with reliable, modular, and field-proven solids control equipment that ensures cleaner mud and lower operational costs.

In underground construction, Trenchless technology and Vacuum Excavation are two widely used yet very different approaches. While both are designed to minimize surface disruption, they serve different project needs.
Trenchless methods, such as Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), are ideal for creating underground passages for pipelines or cables without the need for open trenches. They typically handle large fluid volumes and require complete mud recycling systems to ensure efficient drilling. Equipment such as desanders, desilters, and high-performance centrifuges play a central role in processing drilling fluids.
Vacuum Excavation, on the other hand, is widely applied in utility exposure, daylighting, and sensitive soil removal. Its systems manage smaller flow rates, but the screening process often requires larger surface areas to efficiently separate solids from the slurry. This makes it more focused on precision and safety rather than volume.
Recently, GN Solids Control delivered a complete Vacuum Excavation mud treatment system for a U.S. client. The package included a coarse screening module, fine screening module, desander module, and a large-bowl decanter centrifuge. With nearly two decades of experience, GN continues to expand its solutions to meet diverse client requirements across both trenchless and vacuum excavation industries.

GN Solids Control is pleased to announce the successful delivery of a GNLW364-VFD sludge dewatering centrifuge to an overseas environmental protection company. This shipment once again demonstrates GN’s capability to provide advanced solid-liquid separation equipment that meets the growing global demand for efficient sludge treatment and wastewater management.
Meeting the Need for Efficient Sludge Dewatering
Across the world, municipalities and industrial operators are under pressure to manage sludge more effectively. Increasing environmental regulations and higher disposal costs make reliable dewatering technologies essential. Decanter centrifuges have become the preferred solution for many projects, thanks to their ability to reduce sludge volume, recover clean water, and minimize overall operating costs.
By supplying the GNLW364-VFD centrifuge to an international client, GN continues to expand its global footprint in the environmental sector and supports sustainable waste management initiatives.
Product Overview: GNLW364-VFD Decanter Centrifuge
The GNLW364-VFD centrifuge is designed as part of GN’s 14-inch bowl series, but it features a longer bowl compared with the standard GNLW363 model. The bowl measures 360 mm in diameter and nearly 1.52 meters in length, which significantly increases the separation area and improves the dryness of discharged solids. This makes it particularly well-suited for demanding sludge dewatering applications.
Key Technical Highlights
Instead of presenting figures in a table format, the performance of the GNLW364-VFD can be summarized in practical terms:
-
The centrifuge can process up to 55 cubic meters of slurry per hour at peak load, while typical operations average about 35 cubic meters per hour.
-
Its bowl reaches speeds close to 4,000 revolutions per minute, creating a centrifugal force of more than 3,200 G. This ensures the efficient removal of fine particles in the 2–5 micron range.
-
Operators can adjust the differential speed between the bowl and the screw conveyor from 0 up to 65 RPM, offering great flexibility for different sludge types.
-
Power is delivered by a main motor ranging from 22 to 37 kW, supported by a 7.5 to 11 kW back drive motor. A 7.5 kW feed pump is recommended for stable material feeding.
This intelligent combination of power, speed, and adjustability allows the GNLW364-VFD to perform efficiently under various sludge conditions, making it a versatile piece of equipment for wastewater and environmental treatment.
Built for Durability and Reliability
To ensure long service life, the centrifuge is manufactured with a duplex stainless steel bowl that is centrifugally cast for maximum strength. Wear parts such as the conveyor are protected with tungsten carbide tiles, while the feed zone and discharge areas are fitted with replaceable inserts. Tungsten carbide plows continuously clear solids from the discharge outlet, preventing material buildup.
All rotating components are supported by SKF premium bearings, well known for reliability and extended service life. Together, these features reduce downtime and minimize maintenance costs for operators.
Typical Applications
The GNLW364-VFD centrifuge is widely applicable across several industries, including:
-
Municipal wastewater treatment plants, where it reduces sludge volume and disposal costs.
-
Industrial wastewater treatment, separating solids, water, and oil in complex effluents.
-
Drilling mud recycling, enabling the recovery of valuable drilling fluids and reducing waste.
-
Environmental remediation projects, handling contaminated soil, sediments, and slurry streams.
