Solids waste, solidification material mixing and conveyance unit

摘要

A system for processing solids may include a solids mover configured to receive the solids from the separator and convey the solids to at least one disposal container and a solidification material applicator configured to apply a solidification material to the solids in the solids mover. A related method includes conveying the solids from the separator to at least one disposal container using a solids mover and applying the solidification material to the solids in the solids mover using a solidification material applicator.

1. A system for processing solids, comprising:
a drill rig configured to form a wellbore in an earthen formation, the drill rig including a separator configured to generate a flow of solids from a discharge; an intake auger positioned under the separator discharge and configured to receive the cuttings; an at least partially inclined discharge auger configured to receive cuttings from the intake auger, the discharge auger having an elevated terminal end, and a joint allowing movement of the terminal end between at least two positions; a disposal container receiving the cuttings from the discharge auger, the terminal end of the discharge auger dumping the cuttings into an open end of the disposal container; and a solidification material applicator including:
an injector configured to apply a solidification material to the solids in the discharge auger, the injector having a terminal end and an opposite end;a surge can configured to dispense the solidification material into the opposite end of the injector, the terminal end of the injector being external to the surge can;a bulk silo configured to supply the solidification material to the surge can; anda conduit for conveying the solidification material from the bulk silo to the surge can.
