Decanter Centrifuge

GNLW means horizontal spiral type which is a normal model of decanting centrifuge GN Solids. Decanter Centrifuge is
the last stage equipment in drilling mud system for solids control and mud cleaning. The superiority of Decanting
Centrifuge is embodied in the solids processing size. Decanter Centrifuge could remove the solid particles with size 2-7
microns using the principle of centrifugal action, it is an ideal choice for separating particles in drilling mud. Always there
is a screw pump or submersible pump to feed the mud to Decanter Centrifuge. After the drilling fluids being fed into the
centrifuge drum, under the function of centrifugal force, solid phase particles are pushed to the internal wall of the drum,
then to the solid discharge export of the small end of the drum and excreted. While the fluids is excreted from the
overflow hole of the large end. Such cycle is to achieve the purpose of continuous separation. High speed decanting
centrifuge are more effective for separation of fine solids.

Decanter Centrifuge for Drilling Mud

Solids Control System:
Decanter centrifuge is the final processing units in the arrangement of solids control equipment. It could be used
to process unweighted and weighted, water-based and oil-based drilling fluids (muds).
On oilfield, middle speed centrifuge is used to recycle the the barite and bentonite in solids control system, high
speed decanter centrifuge could separate the fine solids in drilling mud after the desilter unit. Meanwhile, high
speed centrifuge centrifuge is always applied in drilling waste management to recover the valuable drilling fluids.
Typically, oilfield decanting centrifuge is preceded by gas busters, gumbo removal equipment (if utilized), shale
shakers, mud Cleaners (if utilized), Vacuum degassers and hyrdocyclones

GNNJQ Mud Gun Applications:

GN Solids America could offer mud gun with simple structure and flexible operation. Mud gun could be used to
prevent the mud precipitation and transfer the active mud to each tank compartment in the mud system. GN's
mud gun with 3 nozzles and is available for rotation adjestment to allow the operator to optimize the mud gun
performance.

Mud Gun in Drilling Fluids Processing System

Mud gun in drilling fluids processing system is always located at the corner of the tank to keep solids from
settling. The impetus of mud gun can comes from eigher high pressure mud pump and Jet Mud Mixer. Mud gus
always applied together with Mud agitator that installed at the centre of mud tank. In drilling mud processing
system, mud gun often used in trip tank, mud mixing tank and mud storage tank.

Screw conveyors, sometimes called augers or auger conveyor, are used as an efficient way to move a wide
variety of materials. The auger is used to move material along a path using a helical screw. The process of
drilling with a helical bit involves aspects of both: the creation of the hole with the tip of the bit is drilling, while
moving the waste material out of the hole along the helical path is augering. Not all drilling involves augering (oil
field drilling uses a pump to move the material). Screw conveyors in oilfield are often used horizontally or at a
slight incline as an efficient way to move drilling fluids with drill cuttings.

Auger screw for oilfiled

Main components of Auger screw:
Motor, control panel, Screw( including blade and shaft),Conveyor housing, Supporting feet and saddles, Feed
and discharge spouts, Cover, Through end, etc.
Screw consists of a several of blades of helix shape welded to a pipe or shaft. It moves the material. The
following specs should be calculated carefully for proper use: Flight outside diameter, type of blades, spacing
between the blades, thickness of the external diameter and interior shaft and rotation direction.
N has standard oilfield used 12 or 14 three section auger Screw, with drive, middle and end section, with inlet
and outlet on top of the cover. It adopts explosion proof electric motor and control panel, suitable for container
shipment.
