mud recovery system

Since its inception in 2006, GN has sold its solids control equipment and mud recovery systems to more than 60 countries. GN’s mud recovery system can be used in many applications such as oil and gas drilling, diamond drilling, hard drive, tunnelling, piling, dredging and more. Today we will discuss an application of a mud recovery system based on a case study: a project in London.

Just two years ago, GN Solids Control sold a mud recovery system to UK customers for civil engineering. The system consists of a two-layer mud shaker and a decanter centrifuge. Mud vibrating screens are used for coarse separation to eliminate large solids. The screen API number on the upper deck will be smaller than the lower deck, which means that the lower deck screen can separate finer solids than the upper deck screen. The treated fluid will then fall into the tank and then pumped through a screw pump to a decanter centrifuge for further separation. A decanter centrifuge can separate solids to 20 microns. The centrifuge is rugged and requires less maintenance during normal operation. The bowl is made of 2205 stainless steel duplex, the bearing is made by the world famous SKF, and the screw conveyor and discharge port are protected by tungsten carbide brick. The spring also protects the decanter centrifuge during transport. After this separation, the mud can be returned to the system for reuse again. This will be very environmentally friendly and cost effective. GN can customize the mud recovery system according to the different requirements of customers to provide customers with the best solution.  This is a basic introduction to the mud recovery system.

GN`s new product——the GNLW363D-FHD decanter centrifuge

GN Solids Control is a comprehensive company specializing in the manufacture of solid state control equipment and systems. Since its inception in 2007, it has always focused on quality and reliability, and how to help customers save more money. Among all solid-state control devices, three-star products have proven to be more rugged and reliable: mud shakers, decanter centrifuges and cutting dryers.

Recently, GN released its new product, the GNLW363D-FHD decanter centrifuge. First, let us know what the name of the product is. GN stands for company name and LW says it is a horizontal spiral product. 363 indicates that the bowl has a diameter of 360 mm, which is equivalent to 14 inches. 3 indicates that the length of the bowl is about 3 times the diameter. This ratio is specifically designed by the technician to ensure good performance at work. D represents the 4th generation decanter centrifuge. FHD means full hydraulic drive. All configurations are of a high standard to meet the requirements of most customers. The bowl is made of double layer SS 2205 / SS 2304, and the screw conveyor material is SS 304 / SS. Made of 315, the surface is protected by tungsten carbide bricks, which is more durable and more reliable, which saves customers’ money and saves customers’ expenses. In operation and maintenance. And the solid steel discharge port also uses a tungsten carbide insert. The bearings still use the world famous SKF. The FHD system is a VISCOTHERM fully hydraulic drive. The electrical control system is intelligent PLC control. The coating used Cosco & Kansai Zinc Rich Epoxy Coating. The device can be used in extremely high temperature environments where the mud is heavier. The decanter is designed and assembled on the slide for easy movement, saving transportation time and cost.

This is a brief introduction to GN’s new hydraulically driven decanter centrifuge. Welcome to www.gnsolidsamerica.com and send your questions to USA@gnsolidscontrol.com

Decant centrifuge in North America

GN Solids Control is one of the largest solid control and waste management companies which specializes in manufacturing the related equipment, such as shale shaker, desander, desilter, mud cleaner, vacuum degasser, mud gas separator, decanter centrifuge, agitator, centrifugal pump, cutting dryer, screw pump, shear pump, mud gun and so on. After 10 years development, GN has promoted its products to over 60 countries and now it also established two overseas subsidiaries, US and Russia.

Recently we have been forced our main work force on pushing our Decant Centrifuge into the North America Market. So far we have got many good feed back from different end users in both The U.S and Canada. Our decant centrifuge system works in many different environment, . They can be working at super hot desert environment. The VFD control system is provided by SIEMENS or ABB. All the bearings applied in the centrifuge are from SFK premium bearing which can guarantee longer operation life and more reliable operation. All the motors and control panels are explosive proof and certified to work in zone 1 and zone 2 hazardous area. The 553 decanter centrifuge will become the star products for processing large volume of liquid and solid separation job. More and more customers are showing great interest in it. Also for many different industries, they have also chosen our decant centrifuge to be their first option of solids separation. Now GN can not only manufacture its traditional 363 centrifuge with 14 inch bowl, but it can also make larger bowl size, GNLW553, whose bowl size is 22 inch. This equipment can be applied in the processing the water based mud, in the oil based mud system, in dewatering and in recovering barite. There are also some great features for this equipment: it is VFD controlled and can offer the operators a variety of solutions for the changing field operation situations.

That’s the basic introduction of the large bowl decanter centrifuge 553. Hopefully it will be useful to you. We will try our best to assist your business to be successful. Welcome to visit www.gnsolidsamerica.com and please send your inquiries to USA@gnsolidscontrol.com

GN dewatering centrifuge for Tunneling in Singapore

GN dewatering centrifuge is working well for Tunneling in Singapore, our engineer just finished the first time installation and commissioning there and back to China. As per client’s request, our engineer can fly to the client’s site to support them for the first time installation, commissioning and training. If the equipments will work well or not, it will mostly depend on the proper maintenance and operation, we will train the client’s engineer how to operate it and how to do the maintenance.


The dewatering centrifuge system for Tunneling is to treat the waste mud / sludge/ water and reuse the water, the discharged solids should be dry enough to collect by bags then shipped by truck. The configuration is as below:
1) GNLW363-VFD decanter centrifuge is widely used for dewatering unit to treat the waste water
2) Chemical dosing system/ flocculation system
3) 20ft container with windows and doors.
4) Netzsch brand screw pump as the feeding pump of decanter centrifuge, which is the ideal feeding pump to control the frequency to control the flow rate, compared with centrifugal pump and slurry pump, it works more steadily.


Before feeding to the decanter centrifuge, we suggest the client to use a screen/ filter or high G drying shaker / desander / desilter before the dewatering centrifuge system, the purpose is to prevent course solids enter into the centrifuge and the screw will be damaged and centrifuge will be blocked. The core components of the centrifuge is the screw, GN centrifuge screw is completely made by stainless steel, and protected by tungsten carbide tiles, the fluids distribution port is protected by tungsten carbide alloy for wear resistant.
