Function of slurry separation plant in Micro-Tunneling Machine

The slurry separation plant is very import for the underground construction, especially for the slurry-supported tunnel boring machines. The TBM machines like AVN machines, Mixshields  or Shaft Sinking Machines all required efficient slurry separation plant to separation the solids from the drilling mud which is a mixture of water water and thixotropic clay.The clean drilling mud after processing by the separation plant will be feed to the tank for slurry circuit.

TBM Slurry Separation Plant

One of the important division for GN Solids Control is the underground construction, our main business in this division is  HDD, horizontal directional drilling mud recycling and mixing system, second is desanding equipment for bored pile foundation, third is the slurry separation plant for the Micro-Tunneling.GN have the slurry separation plant from120m³/h to even 1000 m³/h available. Either with single mud tank system or multi-tank system for drilling mud separation and drilling mud mixing.

 


Component of the GN 240m³/h Slurry Separation Plant for TBM

1)    Double deck Shale shaker GNZS705D with bottom Deck for coarse solids separation.
2)    Two 10 inch desander cones mounting over the top deck shaker for solids upper 40 microns separation.
3)    One 8x6 centrifugal pump for feeding to the desander cones.
4)    One mud tank for all the equipments.

For fine solids TBM driling mud separation GN also have the desilter cones for 20 microns, and decanter centrifuges for 2-5 microns separation to give drilling contractor the clean drilling fluids.
