GN Separation is proud to introduce the GNLW454GT Mud Dewatering decanter centrifuge, an advanced and robust solution engineered for the efficient treatment of hydrovac slurry and directional drilling mud. Designed to meet the growing demands of utility construction, trenchless drilling, and hydroexcavation projects, this high-performance decanter centrifuge plays a central role in modern waste management systems where reliable solids–liquid separation is essential.
The GNLW454GT decanter centrifuge is specifically tailored for processing the soil, slurry, and mixed “soup” generated during hydrovac operations and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). These waste streams typically originate from non-contaminated sites, such as municipal right-of-way excavations, underground utility installation projects, and a wide range of private infrastructure works. By separating solids from liquids with high efficiency, the system transforms waste slurry into reusable solid material suitable for backfilling or construction use, while producing clarified water that can be safely discharged or reused on-site. This not only reduces disposal costs but also supports more sustainable work practices by minimizing environmental impact.
To maximize operational convenience and improve field deployment, the GNLW454GT decanter centrifuge is supplied as a fully integrated, modular package. The system features a heavy-duty telescopic skid that provides secure mounting and improved service access to the decanter centrifuge during operation and maintenance. It also includes a dedicated catch tank designed for collecting the separated centrate, ensuring stable handling of the treated water stream. A centrifugal transfer pump is incorporated into the module to enable seamless movement of the clarified liquid for reuse in drilling operations, dust control, or compliant discharge according to local regulations.
This comprehensive and well-engineered solution reflects GN Separation’s ongoing commitment to supporting industries with reliable, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible separation technologies. The GNLW454GT Mud Dewatering Centrifuge demonstrates how modern equipment can enhance project efficiency, reduce waste volumes, and promote a more sustainable approach to managing hydrovac and HDD byproducts across diverse construction and infrastructure sectors.
