A system for continuously feeding drill cuttings extracted from a cutting source into a liquid. The system has an open bottomed vacuum hood, means for positioning the open bottom of the vacuum hood in a liquid, means for creating a vacuum in the vacuum hood, a conduit for transporting the drill cuttings from the cutting source to the open bottomed vacuum hood, from which vacuum hood the drill cuttings fall, under the influence of gravity, through the open bottom of the vacuum hood and are thereby deposited into said liquid. Embodiments include means for removing and recovering residual drilling fluids extracted with the drill cuttings, reducing the size of the drill cuttings so they may be injected into a porous earth formation, relieving choke points and blockages. |
