GN Solids Control, a leading global supplier of solids control equipment, is pleased to announce the successful shipment of 9 units of our ZCQ Series Vacuum Degasser to a key European drilling operator. This order includes both the GNZCQ270B and GNZCQ360B models, tailored to meet the high-efficiency and safety demands of European oil and gas drilling operations.
Key Product Highlights for European Market
Our ATEX certified drilling fluid Vacuum Degasser are engineered to address critical challenges in drilling mud treatment, ensuring maximum operational safety and productivity across European onshore and offshore sites.
1. High-Efficiency Gas Removal
The ZCQ Series delivers a gas handling efficiency of ≥95%, effectively eliminating entrained air and harmful gases from drilling fluid. This prevents well control risks, stabilizes mud density, and protects downstream equipment from corrosion and damage.
2. Flexible Capacity Options
We offer two proven models to match diverse project flow requirements:
- GNZCQ270B: A compact model with a maximum capacity of 270 m³/h (1188 GPM), ideal for mid-sized drilling rigs.
- GNZCQ360B: A high-flow model capable of processing up to 360 m³/h (1584 GPM), designed for large-scale drilling operations.
Both models share a robust, compact footprint of 2100×1605×1729mm, simplifying integration into existing mud systems.
3. ATEX & IEC EX Compliance
Safety is paramount in European operations. All our Vacuum Degasser are ExdIIBT4 / IEC EX / ATEX certified, fully compliant with EU directives for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 explosive gas environments.
