Recently, GN Solids Control successfully delivered a complete mud recycling system to a U.S. client specialized in vacuum excavation projects. This advanced solution was designed to improve efficiency, reduce disposal costs, and enhance environmental compliance during non-destructive digging operations.
The system is composed of several core processing modules, each engineered to handle different stages of the slurry treatment process:
-
Coarse Shaker Module – The first stage of separation efficiently removes large-size solids and debris from the excavated slurry, protecting downstream equipment and improving overall treatment efficiency.
- Fine Shaker Module – Following the coarse stage, the fine shaker further classifies and removes smaller particles, ensuring the slurry is ready for desanding.
-
Desander Module – Equipped with high-performance hydrocyclones, the desander removes sand and other particles down to 40 microns, minimizing wear on pumps and extending system lifespan.
-
Large Bowl Decanter Centrifuge Module – At the final stage, GN’s big bowl decanter centrifuge delivers high-speed separation, removing fine solids down to 2–5 microns. This ensures the recycled slurry can be reused effectively or discharged safely, reducing both water usage and waste volume.
By combining these four functional modules into a compact and modular design, GN Solids Control provides U.S. contractors with a reliable and cost-effective solution for mud recycling in vacuum excavation. The system not only improves operational productivity but also meets strict environmental standards.
GN Solids Control will continue to support global clients with innovative separation technologies tailored to drilling, construction, and industrial projects.
