As one of the largest market for GN Solids Control, Russia market is playing a more and more important position in increasing GN Solids Control sales revenue. GN Solids Control works closely with many large customers in Russia in the oil and gas drilling mud treating.
In 2014, GN Solids Control provided some sets of drilling waste management treating systems include GN Vertical Cuttings Dryers and GN Decanter Centrifuges. And GN Solids Control has a partner in Russia name Akros. Every year, they purchased a lot of GN Solids Control equipment.
Besides those above mentioned customers, GN Solids Control also has many other partners keeping using GN equipment. GN made shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, cuttings dryer as well as turnkey treating equipment are widely used by hundreds of customers in Russia. Word of mouth successful projects are helping GN to grow faster and larger.
So last month GN Solids Control provided some solids control equipment to a Russian customer, it includes GN decanter centrifuges and centrifugal pumps.
1.GN Decanter Centrifuge
GN Solids Control manufactures different sizes of decanter centrifuges, GN14 inch bowl centrifuges, 18 inch bowl centrifuges and GN 22 inch bowl centrifuges are largely used in drilling mud solids control and waste management. GN Solids Control also built 9 inch bowl centrifuge for small flow rate treating, like diamond drilling, mining, lab scale waste water treating. Also GN Solids Control manufactures 30 inch bowl decanter centrifuges that arr very popular in tunneling, mining slurry treating as well as environmental waste slurry treating.
2.GN Centrifugal Pump
GN made centrifugal pumps are totally interchangeable with NOV Mission magnum pumps. GN Solids Control provided different sizes centrifugal pumps from 3x2 to 8x6. Also, GN Solids America which is the branch company of GN Solids Control based in Houston, USA keeps many centrifugal pumps in stock.

GN Solids Control has provided hundreds of drill cuttings management systems to international customers. GN Drill Cuttings Management Systems are mainly includes two configurations: one is GN Hi-G Shale Shaker and GN Decanter Centrifuge, the other is GN Cuttings Dryer and GN Decanter Centrifuge.
Weeks ago, GN Solids Control provided one set of cuttings management system to a Xinjiang, China Drilling Company. That GN system is designed to treat oil base cuttings and synthesized base cuttings, so the main treating equipment GN Solids Control provided is GN Cuttings Dryer and GN Decanter Centrifuge.
1.GN Cuttings Dryer
GN Cuttings Dryer is the first treating phase. All cuttings are transferred by a screw conveyor or vacuum pump into GN Cuttings Dryer inlet. GN Cuttings Dryer has 3 different sizes of screen baskets: 0.25 mm, 0.35 mm and 0.50 mm. Cuttings larger than 0.25 mm can be separated out. Rotating speed up to 1200 rpm and G force reach to 750G in order to separate out most of the solids. Based on site testing, GN cuttings dryer can help to reduce the oil on the final cuttings below 5% converse the original oil content is around 20%.
To keep the screen basket from blocking, 4 flushing outlets inside the cuttings dryer are used to flush the cuttings dryer discharge ring. And an air knife system also helps to force the solids off the screen basket.
2.GN Decanter Centrifuge
GN Decanter Centrifuge is the second phase treating unit, it eliminate those finer solids (above 2~5 microns) from the liquid discharged by GN Cuttings Dryer.
As GN Cuttings Dryer treat flow rate is around 30~50 Tons/Hour, here use a 14 inch bowl centrifuge can match the treating volume.
When treat water base cuttings, use GN Hi-G shaker to replace the cuttings dryer is another wise choice. GN Hi-G shaker is more cost effective as it can eliminate most of the liquid or water. GN vacuum screen unit can be also provided if you need a much dryer solution.

GN Solids Control manufactures different kinds of transfer pumps includes vacuum pump, centrifugal pump, screw pump and submersible pump. GN made vacuum pumps are largely used to transfer all the flow-able materials such as oil sludge, drilling cuttings, waste slurry, concrete materials, animal wastes and dredging slurry etc.
Last month we shipped 2 sets of vacuum pump to a African customer: one 20 m3/h and one 40 m3/h flow rate. GN Solids Control also manufactures 10 m3/h vacuum pump. The 10B and 20B are both portable model which are fixed with wheels that can be moved easily, while the 40B is the largest model that protected by supporting and lifting skid and pad.
GN Solids Control vacuum pump is able to transfer larger particles less than 75 mm. Solids contend up to 80% can be transferred. And the largest distance is 1000 m.
GN Solids Control vacuum pump is an air driven pump that need to connect with an air compressor when working. As long as the suction distance is less than 8m, it’s absolutely OK for GN vacuum pump to suck and transfer any kinds of large density or viscosity slurry.
In order to suit customers’ demands well, GN Solids Control also provided several different types of discharge tools. Two typical tools are rotating feeder which is mainly used to discharge to a cuttings box or to an afterwards treating equipment like cuttings dyer, the other one is triple skip station which is used to distribute slurry into multiple cuttings boxes.
GN Solids Control also provides mini vacuum cleaner, it a GN vacuum pump fixed with a wide suction inlet. As we know, spilled sludge in the rig site is very difficult to clean, but by using GN mini vacuum cleaner, it can clean ground easily without to much labour work.

GN Solids Control has been manufacturing shaker screens from the very beginning of GN Solids Control established. With these years fast development, GN Solids Control is able to provide a whole series of shaker screens that can be used on GN made shale shakers as well as some other world famous brands’.
Actually, in the first several years GN made huge metal frame shaker screens. But with new technology get to use, GN Solids Control started to built composite frame shake screens.
There are many good advantages if you compared GN composite frame shaker screens with metal frames screens. With those extraordinarily advantages, more and more customers are only purchasing GN composite frame screens instead of GN metal frame screens. Composite frame is new technology which is more complicated. Inside the GN composite frame shaker screen is still a metal frame that welded by automatic welding robot, while the metal frame is covered with high quality plastic materials in a moulding machine.
1.Using Life
GN made composite frame screens are at least 20-30% time longer than metal frame screens which were proved again and again by hundreds of customers’ parallel testing.
2.Separating Area
Due to GN composite frames screens can use less supporting frames compared with metal frames, so the same size shaker screens a composite frame one has larger effective separating room compared with metal frame one. In this case, using GN composite frame screens can improve the treating flow rate.
3.Weight
It is easy to understand that composite frame screens are lighter than the metal frame screens because it’s using less metal which is replaced by plastic.
4.Storage
Due to the composite frame screens are covered with plastic, it guarantee screens can stock for more than 5 years without aging. While the metal frames one are suffering from rusty after stock some months.
