The present invention relates to a new device, a system and a method for both cooking and drying or removing the water phase from material. The device of the present invention has a large area for heat exchange and scrapers which stir the material in the container rather than transferring it around in circles.

A dry box and a control method therefor, and a preparation method for an organic electroluminescent device are provided. The dry box includes a cavity and a hot plate arranged in the cavity. The hot plate includes a plurality of heating spots, the plurality of heating spots being arranged towards the hot plate to support a surface of a device to be dried, and some of the temperature of the plurality of heating spots being different and the heating spots being insulated from each other.

A fluid extraction apparatus includes a first chamber within which waste material is configured to be disposed and a second chamber having a vacuum source interface. The first chamber may be in selective fluid communication with the second chamber. In various embodiments, the fluid extraction apparatus further includes an intermediate valve disposed on a conduit extending between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein the intermediate valve is selectively actuatable to control the selective fluid communication. In various embodiments, the selective fluid communication between the first chamber and the second chamber is exclusively via the intermediate valve and the conduit.

A process for removing free liquids from oil base mud contaminated drill cuttings waste. A process is described wherein a high gravity centripetal separator and low temperature thermal process are cooperatively used to enhance the mechanical and thermal separation methods, resulting in improved efficiency of the hydrocarbon and water removal process. A process is also described wherein the oil base mud contaminated drill cuttings waste is heated to strip volatile constituents and excess water from the oil base mud contaminated drill cuttings to further enhance the mechanical and thermal separation methods resulting in improved efficiency of the hydrocarbon and water removal process. A less expensive process is also described where the oil base mud contaminated drill cuttings waste is heated to strip volatile constituents and excess water from the oil base mud contaminated drill cuttings to further enhance the recoverable liquids phase during mechanical separation. A conventional stripping process for oil base mud is also utilized.
