GN Shale Shaker and Its Usual Maintenance

Shale shaker will be the device that removes drill cuttings from the drilling fluids even though circulating and drilling. There are many unique designs and study into the very best design frequently ongoing considering the fact that solids manage is essential in maintaining down expenses associated with the drilling fluids. The basic design consists of big, flat sheets of wire mesh screens or sieves of numerous mesh sizes that shakes or vibrates the drill cuttings. Usually, in shale shaker, the drilling fluids flows across and off the screens and back into the drilling fluids processing method which can be typically called a mud technique. This separates the drill cuttings, usually named solids, in the drilling fluids so that it can be recirculated back down the properly bore. In oilfield sector, linear motion shale shaker is broadly employed for drilling mud solids handle of oil &gas nicely drilling for rig.

GN standard shale shaker models are components of drilling equipment used in quite a few industries, such as coal cleaning, mining, oil and gas drilling. They are considered to be the first phase of a solids control method on a drilling rig, they are utilised to remove significant solids also known as cuttings in the drilling fluids, more typically called “ mud” due to its similar appearance. Shale shaker is first phase solids handle equipment in drilling fluids processing method, also known as key solids manage equipment in drilling mud system, shale shaker decides performance of the whole solids manage technique. GN COMPANY can design double shakers and triplicate shakers on single skid according to clients’ special requirements and also supply relevant connecting manifold, according to current business situation. GN COMPANY provides both the third generation linear motion shale shaker and the fourth generation balanced elliptical shale shaker.

The Maintenance of GN standard shale shaker models

1. Remove the dust on shell to cool the motor basing when the surface is clean.

2. Inspect once a month if the fix parts of motor base and nuts of end cover loosen. If loosen, stop the machine and tight it.

3. Add the LGHP2 lubrication once with filling gun. The filling is no more than 26g for each shaft. Readd every 2000 hours.

4. Observe the temperature raising of motor (the temperature raising means the running temperature subtract ambient temperature ) once half a month to see if the temperature rise abnormally. If the running temperature of bearing of motor shell exceeds 100℃, consult the GN COMPANY in time.

5. Check if the cable is scored or damaged. Change it if damaged then. Once three months.

6. Ensure the grounding resistance of motor shell is no more than 0 ohms. Once three months.

Vacuum excavation system for HDD drilling

Vacuum systems are a popular tool for many types of contractors on drilling field, especially for no dig drilling field, like HDD.  

There are three primary types of uses, each of which requires slightly different configurations and specifications.
1. Support HDD unit (transport drilling mud, expose utilities, etc.) Tank size should be large enough to hold drilling mud that can be hauled  off from rig site.
2. Hydroexcavation (use vacuum instead of trencher or excavator to dig hole or trench; use vacuum to expose utilities)
Tools to allow for using high pressure water or air to “dig” the hole are necessary.  Also need a tank large enough to hold the “spoils” created during the digging.


3. Water & sewer cleaning & maintenance (Use high pressure water to clean out sewer lines or vacuum to suck up water.)
Must generate enough water pressure to effectively clean the pipe.Must also have a large water tank (for use in the washing).

Other application of vacuum system

Vacuum pump is kind of transfer pump utilize high vacuum pressure to transfer drilling cuttings, dust, solids, etc… It is widely used together with drilling waste management system for un-landed drilling waste management. To transfer drilling cuttings for high G dryer shaker or vertical cuttings dryer. The vacuum system utilize good sealing to avoid any disposal drop to the ground for pollution. It can keep the jobsite clean.

GN Equipments Adopted for Sludge Separation

GN Solids America is actually a firm mostly regarded as a very good supplier and manufacturer of desander and drilling mud desander,but additional and more corporations from environment protection field are acquiring from GN, like for sludge separation project.

This sludge separation project consists of these facilities:

1. Double deck desander model,this desander is ideal for separation larger particles in sludge,by using renowned Italy motors, this desander can produce a fierce vibrating force up to 7 G, It’s effective for the 1 step of treating.

In this case, as per particular demand from clients, GN added drilling mud desander for the treated material.

2.A high speed centrifuge is adopted here for picking out the finer smaller sized particles. Principle of operation is gravity distinction of treated material. By altering the speed of centrifuge bowl and impeller, two phase separation is reached.

So decanter? here Decanter Centrifuge Principle And Theory Of Operation also introduce very more.
GN’s desander have drilling mud desander and Mini Desander Cleaner,decanter centrifuge,all is sensible configuration in a lot of fields,When you have far more interest in GN Solids America, please take a look at our web page at http://www.gnsolidsamerica.com.

Safety valve for Shear pump

Shear pump is a kind of centrifugal pump no need safety valve at outlet. Below is reasons explained from function and pressure source.

Explain on Functions to confirm shear pump no need safety valve

Shear pump is a kind of centrifugal pump. Drilling mud get a certain amount of kinetic energy while leaving impeller under the impeller rotating centrifugal force. Mud also get some certain of pressure in the pump housing, the pressure does not vary with the change of time, pump outlet size, but only depends on impeller structure, size, and rotating speed. As the pressure at shear pump outlet is not vary per pump flow or working condition. It is no need to match safety valve.

Explain on pressure to confirm shear pump no need safety valve

Driving motor and shear pump connected directly with belt. Design speed of impeller is 2200RPM (max.). Under normal working situation, like for 60hz motor, max. speed of shear pump impeller is 1800rpm, much smaller than the design speed. The maximum pressure generated from high speed rotating of impeller centrifugal force is constant. The max. shear pump pressure is 0.47MPa. The outlet pipeline and pump casing can surely withstand the pressure. In this case, it is no need to match safety valve.

Even in the case of the outlet is blacked or the valve is closed, pressure generated from the impeller rotating is larger than pump outlet, drilling mud cannot be discharged, and circulated within pump housing under the rotating force of impeller. If the outlet is blacked or the valve is closed, and mud circulated within the pump housing for a long time, the worst condition is to increase the temperature of pump housing in some degree. The pump pressure will not increase. Therefore, it is no need for mounting safety valve in shear pump outlet pipe.
