1. Position of the control cabinet for the Flocculant Unit

   Is this the Final Position or you’re waiting for the Final Drawings ? It won’t be very comfortable to climb over or on the Flocculant pump to adjust there something.
2. Flow Meter (Slurry and Flocculant) Where you want to place them ?

3. Pipes to the Decanter Centrifuge

   The Pipe for the Slurry from the Feed Pump to the Decanter / Centrifuge I cannot see. The Pipe for the Flocculant from Pump to Decanter / Centrifuge goes over the entrance door ? If it’s placed over the door, please make sure it’s a welded stainless steel pipe without any interrupting or a PP Pipe fixed with glue at the bows but please not any connection over the entrance. Fix it properly at the container wall in case of shaking from the centrifuge. And before you connect it to the Inlet Pipe of the centrifuge place a shock absorber in between also for the slurry feed Pipe.

4. Chamber outside

   The chamber out side in the height of the decanter / centrifuge, what is this ? Is this perhaps the air outlet over filter ? If this is the case, place instead of a chamber a jalousie.

5. Air Condition

   The Position at the Decanter / Centrifuge won’t be a good. It’s the hottest place in the container but we want to get rid of the high humidity near the Flocculant unit. I would say place it there. Either same position like now only opposite side at the Container door, not at the small door or on the long side in the middle of the flocculant unit.

6. Balance Points

   Place signs or mark them somehow where the Balance Points are for every unit what has to be lifted for transport or later on jobsite.

7. Floor of Container

   The floor inside the container can be cleaned easily (perhaps drainage to one side). Because normally the floor is a little bit lower then entrance doors. If this is the case, we should have the possibility to clean it up with pressurized water in between. (Slurry, Dirt from Jobsite) Marking of Pieces to be connected Pipes, Electrical connections, Lights, Ladders, Handrail etc. should be marked (what belongs where) for easy assembling.

This question was broght by the customer, when the client get this, do not know how to do with it, how to control the vacuum pressure of the vacuum degasser vessel? and so on.

Open the bale valve beside the pressure gauge, and check make sure the pressure is between 0.25~0.4Mpa.

The sensor is for emergency, if something goes wrong, the fluid level goes up, the sensor will stop the vaccum degasser.

Here is some simple guide of the sensor:

Do not use and transportation process in the strong shaking or impact device. Instrument in the transport and storage period, the environment temperature does not allow lower than -40 ℃ and above +80 ℃, relative humidity is not more than 85%, and the surrounding does not contain any corrosive gas, no strong electromagnetic field; useing the original distribution box during transportation,.To avoid wet-stained and a variety of chemical substances pollution the greasy stain and damage the surface of the probe surface.

The instrument contains a number of patents from research, with a new signal processing technology, it has advantages of safe, clean, high precision, long life, reliable, easy installation and maintenance, simple reading etc; Widely used in petroleum, chemical, water treatment, steel, coal, electricity and food processing industries, suitable for acid, alkali, salt, anti-corrosive, high temperature, explosion-proof and other areas. The instrument can be connected to a variety of DCS system through 4~20mA or RS485 (modbus/protocol), provide real time level data for industrial automation operation.

Vermeer is an advanced HDD drilling rig supplier, also have their own mud pump company with the drilling rig. The SA400 is high pressure mud pump powered by a Tier 4i (EU Stage IIIB) or Tier 3 (EU Stage IIIA) engine. With fluids pumping capacity from 78gpm to 435gpm.

Normally that should have a 800gpm~100gpm mud system to match that. Main feature of GN1000gpm mud system:

1)Handing Capacity: Up to 1056 Usgpm (4000 litres/min) for total system
2)3 Phase Cleaning: With 2.6㎡ screen area for first phase shaker, and 2x10 inch Desander cone,12x4inch Desilter cone.
With 2.6㎡ drying screen for mud cleaner. Specifically for high solids content and fine solids.
3)Cut Point: Designed to achieve a cut point of 16 microns
4)Transport Dimensions:
Mud Tank With Attachment: 11500L x 2500W x 3200H (Folded & only removing pipelines and cones of mud cleaner) Or customized.

2xShakers and the Mud Cleaner underflow Shaker can stay on tank while traveling.

There is one story from GN, that why CPP, one of the biggest HDD contract finally choose GN Solids Control, without any connection before which should be the essence of Chinese business.Yes, we sieze a chance to prove ourselves, go back to old days, CPP prefer US products, and buy from our competitor, no offence, but they are not so happy with such oversea after sales, and also time difference and so on, especially comparing with the expection after high price been paid.

So when their unit have problem, they need some one to handle it, GN Solids Control helped with that. Proved our professionality, and get another chance that they will try our system.

Here comes another, one big player in TBM, before purchased Schauenburg desander to recycle the water. And now have problems with shaker screens and shaker motors, then here we go.

One of the for sale unit from Boramtech:

Feed rate: 300 m³/h
Bulk feed rate: 80 t/h
