Drilling fluid processing system and associated methods

摘要

A processing system for separating solids from used drilling fluids to produce cleaned drilling fluids includes a cleaned drilling fluid tank and a filtering unit having an inlet container and a separating mechanism. An example filtering unit mounts to a top surface of the cleaned drilling fluids tank while a portion of the inlet container extends beneath the top surface. Certain types of flow lines may extend through the fluid tank to the portion of the inlet container. Certain types of flow lines may have multiple flow line inlets. Certain types of flow lines may have flow rate sensor arrangements.
