SUBSEA MATERIAL SEPARATION AND COLLECTION SYSTEM

摘要

A subsea material separation system includes a hydrocyclone having an inlet, the hydrocyclone configured to receive drilling material from a subsea drilling device via the inlet while the subsea material separation system is positioned on a sea floor; and a plurality of containers configured to move relative to the hydrocyclone. The hydrocyclone is configured to separate the drilling material into at least first and second portions and direct the first portion to at least one of the plurality of containers.
