GN Solids Control equipment has provided thousands of solids control systems that used for onshore and offshore drilling rigs. As we all know, GN Solids Control has manufactured and provided solids control equipment to more than seventy countries and regions.
It’s relative easier to provide solids control systems for onshore drilling rigs, while it’s a little more complicated when using for offshore drilling rigs. Today we would like to share one solids control system that we provided to a COSL offshore rig.
It mainly includes these treating equipment: shale shaker, mud cleaner, decanter centrifuge, mud tank, centrifugal pump and screw conveyor.
1.Shale Shaker
GN shale shaker is one of the most cost-effective shakers in the world. GN shaker deck is all stainless steel. GN patented C-type groove is using 2.8 mm thickness SS, which is inserted with rubber to have a long time protection of shake screens. Also GN Solids Control made varieties of shaker screens includes GN own screens and the other popular sizes.
2.Mud Cleaner
GN mud cleaner is a 3-in-1 treating unit: GN shaker, GN desander and GN desilter. It is a 2 phase treating unit as desander separate solids larger than 55 microns and desilter eliminate solids larger than 25 microns.
3.Decanter Centrifuge
GN decanter centrifuge plays a very important role in drilling mud separating. GN Solids Control provides different sizes bowl centrifuges which are widely using in barite recovery, solids control , thickening and dewatering. GN Solids Control provides VFD control box that suits for IEC Ex, ATEX explosion-proof environment. DNV lifting certificate is also provided for the offshore usage.
4.Mud Tank
GN mud tank is the storage tank to keep the drilling mud and also the foundation of all the above treating equipment as they will all fixed on the top of the tank. Centrifugal Pumps and Screw Conveyors are also provided in this system as auxiliary treating equipment.
