We are excited to announce a major international delivery: 2 sets of GNLW363D-VFD decanter centrifuges, accompanied by 4 GN screw pumps, have been shipped to Argentina for a demanding solid control mud drilling project. This shipment highlights our ongoing commitment to providing high-performance drilling fluid management solutions to the South American oil and gas market.
The core of this delivery comprises the GNLW363D-VFD high-speed decanter centrifuges. Renowned in the industry, this 14-inch (360mm) bowl centrifuge is engineered for fine and ultra-fine solids separation, barite recovery, and drilling waste dewatering. The “VFD” (Variable Frequency Drive) configuration is a game-changer, allowing operators to seamlessly adjust bowl speeds (up to 3,200 RPM) and differential speeds. This flexibility ensures optimal separation performance across varying mud conditions, from water-based to oil-based drilling fluids.
To create a complete, efficient closed-loop system, the order also includes 4 GN screw pumps (likely from the GNG series). These positive displacement pumps are the ideal feeding solution for decanter centrifuges. They provide a steady, pulse-free flow without shearing the drilling mud, ensuring the centrifuge receives consistent feeding for maximum separation efficiency.
Argentina’s diverse drilling environments require robust and adaptable equipment. The GNLW363D-VFD is built to last, featuring a duplex stainless steel 2304 bowl and tungsten carbide tiles on the screw conveyor for exceptional wear resistance. The VFD control panel offers intelligent, real-time adjustments, enabling the crew to fine-tune the G-force (up to 2,062 G) to remove low-gravity solids as fine as 2–5 microns.
Paired with the GN screw pumps, the system guarantees smooth mud transfer. The screw pumps’ ability to handle high-viscosity fluids with suspended particles makes them perfectly suited for the harsh realities of mud drilling. Together, the centrifuges and pumps will significantly enhance the project’s solids control, reduce drilling fluid loss, and lower overall operational costs.
This shipment to Argentina underscores our growing footprint in South America. By delivering reliable, explosion-proof, and heavy-duty solid control equipment, we continue to support drilling contractors in achieving greater efficiency and environmental compliance. Whether for onshore or offshore applications, the combination of GNLW363D-VFD centrifuges and GN screw pumps represents a proven, world-class solution.
We look forward to seeing this equipment excel in the field and remain dedicated to powering the future of drilling with innovative separation technology
