The present invention is directed to a drilling fluid reclaimer. The reclaimer has at least one adjustable screen assembly for providing a leveling filter for reclaimed drill fluid. Used drill fluid is placed at the screen assembly at the front the of the screen assembly. The at least one screen is vibrated to separate large particulate matter from liquid drilling fluid. A second screen is provided for additional filtering. Large particulate matter is expelled by a chute at the back of the screen assembly. Drilling fluid passing through the screen is “reclaimed” for use with a drilling system.

A treatment method for a river system in a reservoir area, comprising: S1. determining whether a time from a current date to the rainy season is less than a preset duration; S2. moving a pressure sensor upward; S3. determining whether the pressure data meets corresponding conditions; S4. determining whether a duration of the pressure data is less than the preset duration; S5. determining whether an interval between the current time and the time for collecting pressure/nitrogen and phosphorus is greater than a preset number of days; S6. acquiring an image information of a river bottom, and sending it to neural network model for identification to obtain a depth of a sludge; S7. determining whether the depth of a sludge has reached a dredging depth, if so, starting a sludge pump to clean up; S8. collecting nitrogen and phosphorus concentration, and removing nitrogen and phosphorus when the concentration exceeds a standard.

Hydro excavation vacuum apparatus that process spoil material onboard the apparatus by separating water from the cut earthen material are disclosed.

An elbow fitting for an excavating apparatus can include a curved cylindrical pipe that can include a first metal material. In an example, the fitting can be configured for coupling to a hose. The pipe can include an interior surface and an exterior surface. Optionally, a perimeter of the pipe does not exceed a diameter of a first end of the pipe. The fitting can include a cladding layer (e.g., a second metal material) that can be coupled to the first metal material within the interior surface of the pipe. The cladding layer can include an abrasion-resistant material. The cladding layer can be coupled to the pipe such as with a welding operation. The cladding layer can include one or more ridges. The cladding layer can corregate the interior surface of the fitting and exterior surfaces of the fitting which can come into contact with abrasive material.

A work machine includes a frame, a linkage assembly, a work implement connected to the linkage assembly, and a grade control calibration system. The grade control calibration system includes a vision processing system, which includes a sensor fixed to the linkage assembly and a first controller. The vision processing system is configured to measure a length of a cutting portion of the work implement, and to transmit the length of the cutting portion of the work implement. The grade control calibration system also includes a grade control system in communication with the vision processing system and the linkage assembly. The grade control system includes a second controller configured to receive the length of the cutting portion of the work implement from the first controller, and to calibrate a position of the work implement based on the received length of the cutting portion of the work implement.

A collection tank for a mobile vacuum excavator includes a front with a closed end, a rear with an open end, a door configured to be closed over the open end, and a linkage assembly having a first end attached to the door and a second end attached to the body. A first pivotal movement drives the first end and second end away from each other, and a second pivotal movement moves the first end and the second end toward each other. An actuator is attached to the first arm and to the second arm so that actuation of the actuator in a first direction drives the first pivotal movement and actuation of the actuator in a second direction drives the second arm the second pivotal movement.

A shovel includes an attachment attached to an upper turning body and a processor configured to calculate a weight of a load carried in the attachment in accordance with a mode selected from a plurality of modes with respect to timing of detection.

A dredge system includes a dredger, a conduit and a self-priming pump. The dredger has an internal area and an outlet, and is configured to feed material into the internal area of the dredger. The conduit is coupled to the dredger adjacent the outlet and configured to transport the material from the internal area of the dredger to a receptacle. The self-priming pump is coupled to the conduit and is configured to pump the material from the outlet to the receptacle.
