摘要:
A vibratory separator (in one aspect for treating drilling material) and methods of use, the separator in certain aspects having a base, a basket or box movably mounted on the base, screen apparatus on the basket or box, the material flowing to the screen apparatus for treatment (downflow or upflow), at least a portion of the screen apparatus not inclined downhill (e.g. said portion or all horizontal or uphill), electromagnetic or piezoelectric vibratory apparatus connected to the basket or to the screen apparatus for vibrating the basket and the screen apparatus or for vibrating the screen apparatus, driving apparatus for driving the vibratory apparatus, and control apparatus (on-site and/or remote) for controlling the driving apparatus and the vibratory apparatus.
摘要:
A method for mounting a screen assembly to a screen mounting structure of a vibratory separator to effectively seal the screen assembly in place, the method in certain aspects including locating the screen assembly on a screen mounting structure of the separator, positioning the screen assembly so that crossmembers of a four-sided generally rectangular support of the screen assembly are either all parallel to or are all transverse to a direction of material flowing across the screen assembly, forcing two sides of the support of the screen assembly down with a crowning apparatus to effect crowning of the screen assembly, the support sufficiently flexible so that two sides thereof other than the two forced-down sides sealingly contact a surface of the screen mounting structure along substantially all of their length.
摘要:
A screen assembly for mounting on mounting structure of a vibratory separator, the mounting structure having at least one support part, and methods of its use, the screen assembly including a frame with a first frame end, a second frame end and a first side and a second side, at least one crossmember, extending from the first frame end to the second frame end, and spaced-apart from the sides, the frame having a top and a bottom, the at least one crossmember having a top and a bottom positionable above and adjacent a support part of the mounting structure, screening material on the frame, and space maintenance apparatus on the bottom of the at least one crossmember for occupying a space between the crossmember and the support part.
摘要:
A screen assembly, a vibratory separator with such a screen assembly and methods of its use, the screen assembly, in certain aspects, having a frame with a first frame end spaced apart from a second frame end by two opposed spaced-apart sides including a first side and a second side, screening material on the frame, a plurality of crossmembers spaced apart and extending from the first side to the second side, each crossmember of the plurality of crossmembers connected to the first side and the second side, and each crossmember of the plurality of crossmembers having at least one series of openings therethrough; in one particular aspect the frame having crossmembers located to facilitate sealing of the support against screen assembly mounting structure of a vibratory separator; and methods for using such frames and such screen assemblies.

摘要:
Vessels for selectively holding drilling cuttings material and methods employing such vessels; the vessels, in at least certain aspects, having a body with a hollow container with an interior space for receiving drilling cuttings material and from which the material may exit from the body; a first opening through which the material enters into the container; a second opening through which the material passes out from the container; and movement apparatus with a movement member within the container movable adjacent the second opening to facilitate passage of the material into the second opening; and in certain aspects, the vessels having moisture-content sensor apparatus on the body for sensing moisture content of material within a vessel; conduit apparatus for conducting drilling cuttings from the exit opening; valve apparatus for selectively controlling flow of material in the conduit apparatus; and a controller in communication with the moisture-content sensor apparatus and the valve apparatus for selectively controlling flow in the conduit apparatus.
摘要:
Methods for processing drill cuttings including measuring moisture content of the drill cuttings; systems for doing this; methods for moving drill cuttings using conduits with spaced-apart inlets for applying positive pressure; and feeding apparatuses for loading drill cuttings into a positive pressure conduit.
摘要:
A screen assembly for a shale shaker comprising a panel (500) and a support structure (600), the panel (500) having an area provided with a multiplicity of apertures and at least one layer of screening material arranged over the multiplicity of apertures, wherein said panel (500) is removable from said support structure (600).
摘要:
Vessels, system and methods for conveying drilling cuttings material, which, in certain aspects, include a system for conveying material from a vessel, the system having a vessel for receiving material to be conveyed, a first conduit for conveying air, a second conduit for receiving air from the first conduit and for conveying air into the vessel, a metering screw for receiving material from the vessel and for moving the material from the vessel, a discharge line for receiving the material from the metering screw, the discharge line having an exit end, pressure sensor apparatus for sensing pressure in the discharge line, and control apparatus for automatically controlling the metering screw in response to a pressure sensed by the pressure sensor apparatus.
摘要:
Methods for moving drilled cuttings, the methods, in certain aspects, using a cuttings processor with a rotating annular screen to separate fluid from drilled cuttings and/or such methods including conveying with air under positive pressure, drilled cuttings to flow conduit apparatus; applying air under positive pressure to the flow conduit apparatus to continuously move the drilled cuttings material therethrough; continuously moving the drilled cuttings material with the air under pressure to separation apparatus; with the separation apparatus continuously separating drilled cuttings from air; wherein, in certain aspects, the drilled cuttings are included in a low density slurry with drilling fluid, drilling mud, and/or oil and wherein, in certain aspects, the separation apparatus is a cyclone separator and the drilled cuttings moved into the cyclone separator are wet; and systems for effecting such methods.
