Advanced Desand Technology for Optimal Slurry Quality

At the core of the GNTBM-500B system is its high-performance desand circuit, which utilizes large-capacity hydrocyclones to efficiently separate abrasive sand particles and coarse solids from the drilling fluid. The multi-stage treatment process—comprising primary vibratory screening, desanding cyclones, desilting cyclones, —ensures that recycled slurry maintains consistent rheological properties throughout the tunneling operation.

By effectively controlling sand content and particle size distribution, the system helps reduce wear on TBM cutter heads, slurry pumps, and downstream equipment, extending service life and lowering maintenance costs for contractors. The treated slurry also supports better face stability and improved tunneling progress rates, contributing to overall project schedule efficiency.

Engineered for Middle East Field Conditions

The GNTBM-500B system is designed with Middle East operational requirements in mind, featuring high-temperature rated electrical components, dust-protected control cabinets, and corrosion-resistant structural finishes. The skid-mounted modular configuration enables rapid on-site assembly and disassembly, allowing project teams to mobilize equipment efficiently between job sites—a key advantage for the region's fast-track construction programs.

GN Solids Control maintains a dedicated regional service network across the Middle East, with local technical engineers available for on-site commissioning, operator training, and routine maintenance support. The company's regional parts warehouse stocks commonly used consumables and spare components, ensuring prompt delivery and minimizing equipment downtime during critical project phases.

As infrastructure investment continues to accelerate across GCC countries, GN Solids Control remains committed to delivering engineered slurry treatment solutions that meet international quality standards and address the specific demands of Middle East tunneling projects. The company anticipates further equipment deliveries to regional TBM and horizontal directional drilling projects throughout the second half of 2026.
