GN SOLIDS CONTROL SCREW CONVEYOR

GN Solids Control is one of the leading manufacturers of solids control, separation, and conveying equipment, for customers in America. GN Solids utilize a custom-designed and constructed Screw Conveyor (Auger) as part of the drilling waste management system. The Auger is designed with 12 feet per section which makes it to be standard spare parts for exchange with each other. The screw material utilized by GN is an abrasive material that lasts longer than our competitors. The Screw Conveyor(Auger) is designed to offer an efficient, low-cost, cuttings transport system for offshore and onshore drilling installations. The screw conveyor is manufactured to the highest safety standards and is fitted with protective grating or cover to prevent foreign bodies from entering the conveyor system and to offer enhanced safety for all personnel.

GN Solids Control manufactures a variety of equipment including:

Decanter centrifuges (2 phases and 3 phases)
Disc separators (2 phases and 3 phases)
Reputable Shale Shakers
vertical dryers
and screw conveyors

For screw conveyors, GN Solids Control can provide standard conveyors and custom conveyors to meet the needs of different applications. This project is a typical conveyor project with customization including the material used, the special structure needed, the complex transportation scheme, and many others.

In addition to the conveyor, GN Solids Control also customized the control panels for these screw conveyors. Below are some of the features:

High-temperature option. In Africa, the weather can be challenging. If it is quite frequent, the room temperature can reach 50 degrees Celsius. GN Solids Control used an air conditioner to cool the interior of the control panel to provide a controlled temperature for the panels.
Explosion-proof. This application requires that the control panel have a Class 1, Division 1 rating. GN Solids Control provides a purged control panel to meet this requirement. This is a field-proven product that can be used in critical conditions.
Special control logic. This customer has special requirements for the control of different sections of worm conveyors to meet their product needs.

The GN Solids Control engineering team analyzed the customer's requirements and converted all the requirements into logical relationships. They also designed a special interlock mechanism to protect the equipment and the system.
