PORTABLE WET DRILLING WASTE TREATMENT

摘要

Portable wet drilling waste treatment. In one example embodiment, a method for portable wet drilling waste treatment may include transporting a transportable frame, maneuvering an open end of a waste conduit, vacuuming air and the wet drilling waste, using a motor-driven vacuum, into the open end of the waste conduit, through the waste conduit, and into a cyclonic separator, separating the wet drilling waste from the air using the cyclonic separator, using a waste auger to transport the wet drilling waste, using a treatment material auger to transport a treatment material, operating the waste auger and the treatment material auger at coordinated rates to transport an effective ratio of the wet drilling waste to the treatment material, using a mixing auger to simultaneously transport the wet drilling waste and the treatment material, and operating the mixing auger at an effective rate resulting in a solidified treated material.

1. A method for portable wet drilling waste treatment, the method comprising:
transporting a transportable frame from a first geographic location to a drilling site at a second geographic location that is distant from the first geographic location; maneuvering an open end of a waste conduit that extends from the transportable frame around the drilling site to multiple positions of wet drilling waste that was produced at the drilling site; vacuuming air and the wet drilling waste, using a motor-driven vacuum that is positioned on the transportable frame, from the multiple positions of the wet drilling waste into the open end of the waste conduit, through the waste conduit, and into a cyclonic separator that is positioned on the transportable frame; separating the wet drilling waste from the air using the cyclonic separator; using a waste auger that is positioned on the transportable frame to transport the wet drilling waste from the cyclonic separator; using a treatment material auger that is positioned on the transportable frame to transport treatment material; operating the waste auger and the treatment material auger at coordinated rates to transport an effective ratio of the wet drilling waste to the treatment material; using a mixing auger that is positioned on the transportable frame to simultaneously transport the wet drilling waste and the treatment material from the waste auger and the treatment material auger, respectively; and operating the mixing auger at an effective rate to mix the treatment material with the wet drilling waste to yield in a solidified treated material.
