NOVEL INJECTION FLOCCULATION AND COMPRESSION DEWATERING UNIT FOR SOLIDS CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF DRILLING FLUIDS AND METHODS RELATING THERETO

摘要

A method may include providing a returned fluid comprising a fluid; and a solid contaminant; introducing the returned fluid into a solid-liquid sorter thereby separating the returned fluid into an overflow and underflow; flocculating the underflow in a flocculating chamber thereby forming a flocculated fluid; and dewatering the flocculated fluid using a dewatering rack.
