In modern drilling operations, effective mud recycling and solids control are critical for improving efficiency, reducing waste, and maintaining environmental compliance. GN Solids Control recently delivered a complete drilling mud recycling unit and a hydraulic decanter centrifuge system to an overseas client. These advanced systems are designed to optimize drilling fluid management in both HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) and mineral exploration drilling.
Advanced 500GPM HDD Mud Recycling System
For HDD drilling projects, maintaining clean drilling mud is essential to prevent equipment wear, reduce downtime, and improve drilling efficiency. GN’s 500GPM mud recycling system integrates cutting-edge solids control technology, ensuring that drilling fluid can be continuously reused, significantly cutting down disposal costs.
This modular and efficient system consists of:
✔ Shale Shaker – The first-stage solids removal equipment, filtering out large cuttings and protecting downstream equipment.
✔ Mud Cleaner – A compact combination of a desander and desilter, efficiently removing fine solids to maintain optimal drilling fluid properties.
✔ Integrated Tank System – Provides proper storage and circulation of the treated mud, ensuring consistent drilling performance.
By recycling drilling fluids, this system not only reduces environmental impact but also lowers operational costs for HDD contractors, making it an ideal solution for sustainable and cost-effective drilling.
Hydraulic Drive Decanter Centrifuge for Core Drilling
For mineral exploration and core drilling, GN Solids Control has also provided the GNLW223D-FHD hydraulic decanter centrifuge. This specialized separation unit plays a crucial role in processing drilling mud, ensuring that only clean, reusable fluid is recirculated into the drilling process.
