An apparatus and method for treating effluents is disclosed for selective solids control and/or dewatering of effluents, for example drilling fluids (or mud), slurries or sludges, or other clean up involving solids removal from a hydraulic system where flocculation would be employed. The apparatus is compact and portable for ease of on-site delivery and hookup and includes a plurality of mixers for mixing polymer materials with water and/or the effluent, a plurality of pumps for controlling the flow of effluents, water and mixed liquids, and a plurality of conveniently located valves and pump controls for control of the various functions of the apparatus from a centrally located control panel. An improved mixing device is provided for blending of shear-sensitive fluids which includes multi-port injection sites and a series of geometrical flow altering elements. A device for wetting dry particulate material in a liquid feed stream is provided having a cylindrical funnel eductor and a cyclonic dispersal eductor. |
