A solid-liquid separation device of the present invention is a solid-liquid separation device, in which a filtration belt (1), a seal belt (8), and a squeezing belt (15) are wound around an outer circumference of a separation roll (7) rotated in a circumferential direction and are able to run along a rotational direction of the separation roll (7), an object (P) to be processed supplied between the filtration belt (1) and the seal belt (8) is sandwiched between the filtration belt (1) and the seal belt (8) on the outer circumference of the separation roll (7) and squeezed by the squeezing belt (15), and the object (P) to be processed is dehydrated by being ventilated by ejecting a ventilation gas toward a radially outer side of the separation roll (7) via a ventilation gas chamber (10) formed in an inner circumferential portion of the separation roll (7), in which the seal belt (8) is a woven fabric of multifilament or a woven fabric obtained by combination of multifilament and monofilament and is a thinner than the squeezing belt (15).

A gas tight shale shaker for enhanced drilling fluid recovery and drilled solids washing. A process and apparatus for liquid phase-solid phase separation of oil base drilling mud-containing drill cuttings is described including flowing the drilling mud-containing drill cuttings over a vibrating screen bed to cause a least a portion of the drilling mud to pass through the screen bed and the drill cuttings to remain on the screen bed. A diluent is added to the oil base drilling mud containing drill cuttings prior to flowing the drilling mud containing drill cutting over the screen bed. The entire process is performed in a gas-tight environment preventing escape of diluent from the process into the external atmosphere and preventing introduction of gases into the process from the external atmosphere.

A separator device for separating fibrous material from wastewater has a housing comprising at least one inlet for wastewater, at least one first outlet for filtrate, at least one second outlet for the fibrous material, and least one hollow strainer element disposed in the housing, the inlet opening into the interior of the strainer element and the first outlet being disposed in an intermediate space between the housing and the strainer element. At least one strainer element of the separator device is movably disposed in the housing and coupled to a drive for displacing the strainer element. The invention further relates to a method for separating fibrous material from wastewater.

A tumbler may be used as defluidizer, dryer, coater, classifier, or dynamic filter. The tumbler includes a rotatable drum that receives a solid/fluid slurry through an inlet chute. As the slurry travels through the drum, fluid exits the drum through a plurality of apertures in screens attached to the sides of the drum, while the solids continue along the drum's length until they reach one or more openings and exit the drum into an outlet chute. The outlet chute includes ridges that wrap around rings extending from the openings of the drum to prevent solids from escaping the outlet chute. To further dry the solids before they exit the drum, an air tube at least partially disposed within the drum is configured to introduce a flow of air into the drum.

A rotary disc filter includes one or more filter discs secured to a rotary drum and include a series of circumferentially spaced backwash guides disposed in the filter disc. During backwashing, the backwash guides function to engage a mixture of backwash and suspended solids and guide or direct the mixture to a sludge trough disposed in the disc filter. The backwash guides generally assure that a greater percentage of the backwash and suspended solids mixture end up in the solids trough.
