GN Solids Control has successfully provided the GNTBM-500B slurry separation system for a tunnel boring machine (TBM) project in the Middle East. Designed for efficient slurry treatment and solid control, the system helps contractors maintain stable excavation performance while reducing waste disposal costs.
The GN GNTBM-500B slurry separation system is engineered to separate solids from excavated slurry through a multi-stage treatment process. The slurry generated during TBM operations is first transferred to the system by a slurry pump and passes through a shale shaker for primary separation. Larger particles are removed, while finer slurry enters the treatment tank for further processing.
The processed slurry is then pumped into hydrocyclones, where centrifugal force separates heavier solids from the liquid phase. The separated solids are discharged for further drying, while the cleaned slurry returns to the system for continuous circulation and reuse. An automatic liquid level control system helps maintain stable operation and improves treatment efficiency.
For TBM tunneling projects in challenging environments, the GN GNTBM-500B provides reliable slurry management, efficient solid removal, and reduced fluid consumption. This successful application in the Middle East demonstrates GN Solids Control’s capability to deliver customized slurry separation solutions for global underground construction projects.
