A desander is a piece of equipment used in the oil and gas industry to remove sand and other solid particles from drilling mud. Drilling mud, also known as drilling fluid, is a crucial component in drilling operations as it helps to cool and lubricate the drill bit, carry cuttings to the surface, and provide support to the wellbore walls. At GN we have two different types of applications for our desander. First application is  for oil gas drilling, CBM drilling mud solids control. Second is desander system with mud tank is for construction operation for no dig, bored pile drilling desander for bentonite recycling. The desander is part of a larger system of equipment designed to clean and maintain the drilling mud. GN desander is the second class and the third class solid control equipment to treat the drilling fluid. According to the size of the cone diameter, it is divided into Desander and desilter. Usually the cone diameter is more than 6″is called desander, and used as the second-control equipment in drilling operation. We commonly used 8 “and 10” cones desander to separate solid-phase particle size 47-76μm in the drilling fluids. Drilling mud containing solids and sand is fed into the desander through an inlet. The heart of the desander is a set of hydrocyclones, which are essentially conical-shaped vessels. These hydrocyclones create a swirling flow pattern, causing the heavier solids (including sand) to move towards the outer wall. As the drilling mud moves through the hydrocyclone, centrifugal force causes the heavier particles to settle at the bottom and be directed out of the desander, leaving the cleaner mud to continue its journey. The separated solids, which settle at the bottom of the hydrocyclone, form the underflow and are typically removed for further processing or disposal. The cleaner mud, referred to as the overflow, exits the hydrocyclone and is directed back into the drilling mud system. Desanders are effective in removing coarse particles from the drilling mud, preventing excessive wear on drilling equipment and maintaining the integrity of the wellbore. In some cases, desanders are used in conjunction with desilters, which are designed to remove smaller particles.It’s worth noting that the design and capacity of desanders can vary depending on the specific drilling operation, the type of drilling mud being used, and the characteristics of the solids in the mud. Efficient solids control is essential for successful and safe drilling operations in the oil and gas industry. Our desanders work with multiple equipments and are versatile to work in different types of operations.

A mud agitator is a device used in drilling mud systems to keep the drilling mud homogeneous and prevent settling of solids. It is an essential component in the oil and gas drilling industry and other applications where drilling mud is employed. The primary purpose of a mud agitator is to ensure that the drilling mud remains well mixed and maintains a consistent density throughout the mud system. At GN Solids our JBQ series mud Agitator has less than 5.5 kW drilling mud Agitator adopts the blender cycloid speed reducer and it is applied to the liquids mixing tank. This mud agitator  has the advantage of compact structure, so it occupies small footprint. More than 7.5 kW mud agitator uses the turbo and worm gear speed reducer, with the large torque transmission. The  revolution is steady and it works reliably and has great merit. Mud agitators are designed to agitate the drilling mud by creating turbulence and mixing the various components, including water, drilling fluid additives, and cuttings. This prevents the settling of solids and helps maintain the desired properties of the drilling mud. Components: A typical mud agitator consists of a motor, a gearbox, and an impeller. The motor provides the power, the gearbox helps control the speed of the impeller, and the impeller is the rotating device that creates the agitation in the mud. Mud agitators are usually installed in mud tanks. They are positioned to provide optimal mixing throughout the tank, preventing the accumulation of solids in any one area. Proper installation is crucial for efficient mud agitation. There are various types of mud agitators, including vertical agitators and horizontal agitators. The choice of agitator type depends on factors such as the size and configuration of the mud tanks. Maintaining a consistent mud density is crucial for the success of drilling operations. Inconsistent mud density can lead to issues such as wellbore instability, poor drilling performance, and increased wear and tear on drilling equipment. Regular maintenance is important to ensure the proper functioning of mud agitators. This includes checking for wear and tear, lubricating moving parts, and addressing any issues with the motor or gearbox. Mud agitators play a vital role in the drilling process, contributing to the efficiency and effectiveness of the drilling mud system. They help ensure that the drilling mud maintains the required properties for successful drilling operations. At GN, our mud agitators are used in operations at India, Russia, Middle East and through out the world. We have a product with great reliability and ensures our customers to successful outcome and longevity.

A solids control system is an essential component in the drilling industry, particularly in the oil and gas sector. Its primary purpose is to remove drilled solids, such as cuttings and other debris, from the drilling fluid, mud or slurry. This ensures that the drilling fluid maintains its desired properties, which is crucial for the efficient and safe drilling of wells. A complete solids control system typically consists of several key components.  Shale shakers are the primary devices used to remove large solids from the drilling fluid. They use vibrating screens to separate cuttings and other debris, allowing the cleaner drilling fluid to be returned to the mud circulation system. Desanders and desilters are hydrocyclone devices designed to remove finer particles from the drilling fluid. Desanders typically target larger particles, while desilters focus on smaller particles. These components help enhance the overall efficiency of the solids control system. Centrifuges are used to separate very fine particles and colloidal solids from the drilling fluid. They operate by rapidly spinning the mud, causing the solids to settle and be discharged, leaving behind cleaner drilling fluid. Mud cleaners combine the functions of shale shakers, desanders, and desilters into one unit. They use a combination of vibrating screens and hydrocyclones to remove a wide range of particle sizes from the drilling fluid. Mud tanks are large containers used to store and circulate the drilling fluid. They play a crucial role in maintaining the consistency and properties of the mud throughout the drilling process.These devices are used to keep the drilling fluid in a homogeneous state by preventing the settling of solids. Agitators and mixers ensure that the mud remains well-mixed and consistent, promoting effective solids removal. Cuttings dryers are used to further reduce the moisture content in the drilled cuttings, making them easier to handle and often facilitating environmentally friendly disposal. A well-designed solids control system is crucial for drilling operations as it improves drilling efficiency, protects drilling equipment, and minimizes environmental impact. The specific configuration and components of a solids control system can vary based on the drilling conditions, the type of drilling fluid used, and the requirements of the drilling operation.

A shale shaker is a critical piece of equipment used in the oil and gas industry, as well as in other industries such as mining and civil engineering. Its primary function is to separate solids, typically drill cuttings or other debris, from drilling fluids or drilling mud. This separation process is crucial for various reasons, including environmental compliance, efficient drilling operations, and the preservation of valuable drilling fluids. The drilling mud and cuttings mixture enters the shale shaker, which consists of a vibrating screen or series of screens. These screens are typically made of wire mesh or perforated metal plates. As the mixture is pumped over the vibrating screens, the solid particles (cuttings) are larger and unable to pass through the screen’s openings, while the drilling mud and smaller particles can pass through the screens. The vibrating motion of the screens helps to separate the cuttings from the drilling mud. The cuttings are then collected and removed from the system for disposal. The clean drilling mud is returned to the mud tank for reuse in the drilling process, reducing the need for new mud and saving costs. Our shakers are equiped with Italy OLI or US Martin Brand Vibration Motors and our control panel is from Siemens or Schneider components. Replacing the screens is really easy, that is what separates our shakers from the others. No hammering or additional speciality tools are required. The mechanical deck angle can be adjusted from -1 – + 5 degree angle. Which allows to work reliable for different drilling fluids. Our GN shaker is very user friendly and has a locking system made from stainless steel for tranportation of the machine. Also the viberating springs are covered with rubber for safety and less noise. Our shaker also has a heavy duty design and heat treatment for the shaker basket to get the adjustable G force up to 8.0G, which allow for the heavy duty drying for minning and waste management. Our shakers are one of the best shakers on the market for the price we offer, it as good or even better than a shaker three times much of its cost. Whick explains why our product is the best shaker for its money and the quality.
