Abstract:
A system includes a fluid conduit, a fluid chamber in communication with the fluid conduit, a rheology sensor in communication with the fluid chamber, and an electric temperature controller in communication with the fluid chamber. The fluid chamber is cooled or heated in response to a first control signal from the electric temperature controller.

Abstract:
A bob for a viscometer in a portable rheology unit is provided. The bob may include a bob portion having a cylindrical portion and a first end portion, the cylindrical portion defining a first end of the bob. The bob may also include a plastic portion interfacing with an interior surface of the first end portion, wherein the plastic portion includes a conical area extending from a conical area first end to a conical area second end, and the conical second end is connected to an interior surface of the cylindrical portion. The bob may also include a sleeve portion connected to the plastic portion and a bob second end portion connected to the sleeve portion.
Abstract:
This disclosure is generally drawn to systems, devices, apparatuses, and/or methods, related to monitoring a shaker used for separating solids from fluid. Specifically, the disclosed systems, devices, apparatuses, and/or methods relate to capturing infrared images of a shaker or components thereof (e.g., shaker baskets, decks, screens) and performing actions on the shaker, its components, and/or the its operation based at least in part on the captured infrared images.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a vibratory separator having a first deck, a second deck, and a third deck, and a collection trough coupled to at least one of the first deck, the second deck and the third deck. The collection trough includes a conveying apparatus configured to convey a material in the collection trough to an outlet of the collection trough disposed proximate a first end of the collection trough.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and system for flowing a fluid from an inlet flush nozzle onto tiered plates in a trough is provided. Material may fall from a deck in a vibratory separator, such as a shale shaker, into the trough, which is attached to the separator. The trough has a main inlet and the inlet flush nozzle that opens to tiered plates. An external pipe may feed the fluid into the main inlet and the inlet flush nozzle to lubricate the tiered plates in the trough. Material falling from the vibratory separator may float on the fluid to flow toward an outlet of the trough. A single plate with perforations may be used instead of the tiered plates to permit the fluid to penetrate the perforations to suspend the material, allowing the material to flow across the single plate to an outlet.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a screen capable of separating solids from a slurry having a liquid portion and a solid portion, and a first probe disposed beneath the screen to determine a position of a beach between a feed end and a discharge end of the screen, the beach being a transition where a substantial majority of the liquid portion of the slurry terminates. A method includes providing a slurry to a vibratory separator, measuring a property of a portion of the slurry adjacent to a reference probe, measuring a property of a composition adjacent to a first probe within the vibratory separator, and comparing measurements from the reference probe and the first probe to determine a position of the slurry.
Abstract:
A system having a screen having an upper side and a lower side for separating drill cuttings and drilling fluid within a vibratory separator; a tray positioned below the screen for receiving the drilling fluid from the screen; a pressure differential generator coupled to the tray, the pressure differential generator configured to create a pressure differential between the upper side and the lower side through the screen to enhance the flow of drilling fluid through the screen; and a hose assembly coupling the pressure differential generator to a coupler, an inlet of the coupler being arranged perpendicularly between a first outlet coupled to a mist eliminator and a second outlet coupled to a tank.
