摘要 |
A portable drilling mud reclamation system is set forth comprising an input tank (112), an optional heater for changing the temperature of the mud (118), a first centrifuge (122) for segregating the heaviest mud particles, a second centrifuge (124) for serially separating remaining heavy mud particles, and a concluding filtration stage (132) having the form of an elongate tube formed of membrane material. The tube discharges the remaining trash in the mud in a concentrate stream, and the solvent in the mud permeates through the membrane. The solvent is retrieved for subsequent reuse and recycling. Another embodiment of the invention processes food plant liquor including starch, pulp, and similar food product derivations.
