An Introduce of GN Mud System
GN Mud Systems are widely used in many areas, recently GN got some orders on water management from abroad.
GN technical engineer recommend one set of mud system whose treating capacity can reach to 150 gpm, and the normal treating capacity can up to 132 gpm.
This is system is including three sub-systems: The first one is mud cleaning system, the second one is Cuttings Feeding system, and the last one is
1.GN Mud cleaning system
This system is composed of one shale shaker whose shaker screen is 100 mesh, one mud cleaner which can separate particle size 15mircrons to 20 microns, one centrifugal pump to feeding the mud cleaner, as well as one mud tank which is divided into two compartments.
By using this subsystem first, the No.1 compartment which is shaker compartment can treat mud by using shale shaker, then it droped into No.1 compartment. On the other side, the mud processed by mud cleaner droped into No.2 compartment, at this time it is clean mud which can be re-used directly. For clients have higher demands, we will recommed to use decanter centrifuge to do another process.
2.GN Cuttings Feeding system
This subsystem is including one Cuttings Collection hopper and one Peristaltic pump. By using the Peristaltic pump, this system can transfer the cuttings from the collection hopper to vertical cuttings dryer. For Peristaltic pump, it’s usually used to transfer drilling mud with large density.
3.GN Cuttings management system
Vertical cuttings dryer, decanter centrifuge and centrifuge pumps, as well as mud tank composed of this sub system. Since this tank are divided into two compartments too, we named it by No.3 compartment and No.4 compartment. After the mud was treated by vertical cuttings dryer, it will flow to No.3 compartment. And the clean mud will go to No.3 compartment from No. 2 compartment. The decanter centrifuge can separate particle size 5 microns, after this the clean mud can be re-used for drilling again.
