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.

16 Sets of Decanter Centrifuge and Vertical Cuttings Dryer Delivered to Overseas Oilfield Service Company

GN Solids Control has recently completed the delivery of 16 sets of drilling mud Decanter Centrifuge and 16 sets of Vertical Cutting Dryer for an overseas oilfield service company. This package is designed to provide a complete solution for drilling fluid recovery and drilling waste management on the rig site.

Each decanter centrifuge package includes:

• A high-performance Decanter Centrifuge for fine solids separation.

• A customized lifting frame for easy installation and maintenance.

• A screw pump for feeding to the centrifuge, ensuring stable and continuous operation.

Each vertical cuttings dryer package includes:

• A durable Vertical Cutting Dryer for efficient drilling cuttings drying.

• A customized supporting frame to fit the client’s on-site layout.

• A reliable washing screw pump to reduce screen blinding.

• A customized discharge system for safe and convenient solids handling.

The combination of centrifuges and dryers provides operators with a highly effective solution for managing drilling mud and cuttings. The Decanter Centrifuge reduces the fine solids content in drilling fluids, improving drilling efficiency and protecting downstream equipment. Meanwhile, the Vertical Cutting Dryer minimizes oil content in cuttings, helping the operator reduce waste volume and meet environmental discharge regulations.

GN Solids Control has rich experience in supplying complete packages to global clients. All equipment is designed for tough field conditions, easy transportation, and convenient maintenance. With flexible customization options such as skid-mounted systems, tailored discharge systems, and special supporting frames, GN ensures that every project meets the specific requirements of the end user.

This large delivery once again demonstrates GN’s capability to provide turnkey solids control and waste management solutions for international oilfield projects.
