Method and apparatus for remediating drilling mud and treating drilling cuttings
11344828 · 2022-05-31 · ·

A drilling mud remediation and drilling cutting treatment device and method. There are three main components: a vacuum liquid solid separator; a pelletizer; and an induction furnace. The liquid solid separator has a seamless filter belt configured to carry a mixture of liquids and solids over a vacuum. A slurry comprised of drilling mud and cuttings is deposited on the filter belt. An applicator ensures that the slurry is deposited evenly across the entire filter belt at a uniform thickness. The vacuum removes most of the liquids for further treatment and reuse. The solids are transferred to a pelletizer which compacts them into relatively uniform pellets while removing much residual liquid. The pelletized cuttings are then passed through an induction furnace, which removes any residual liquids, renderings the cuttings safe for disposal.

Continuous rotary plate filter and methods of use thereof

The present disclosure provides for a continuous rotary plate filter apparatus and a method of using the apparatus to separate slurries into liquids and solids. The methods and apparatus are useful for the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly using Integrated Continuous Manufacturing (ICM), but can also be integrated with other manufacturing processes, such as batch and semi-continuous processes.

Drilling fluid reclaimer

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.

Seesaw-type feeding device for collecting solid suspended materials

A seesaw-type feeding device for collecting solid materials suspended in a flow field includes a suspension assembly, a material collection assembly, a joint hinge, two anti-collision blocks and an escapement shaking assembly, wherein the latter three of which are located between the suspension assembly and the material collection assembly. The suspension assembly includes a V-shaped floating body and at least three fixed bottom anchors. The material collection assembly includes a collection pocket net, a material container, a delivery part, and an annular water discharging screen mesh. The escapement shaking assembly is located behind the V-shaped floating body and faces the material collection assembly. The material collection assembly is able to shake relatively to the fluid in the flow field, and the escapement shaking assembly drives the material collection assembly to shake.
