Problems solved by technology

[0026] While there are many new belt technologies, belt tensioning systems and static dissipative systems available on the market, none of these options improve the "operator experience"
These systems require frequent maintenance and the tiring work required to replace belts periodically

Embodiment Construction

[0055] Before discussing the present invention, in order to better understand how the present invention improves upon the prior art, reference will first be made to Figure 1, which shows a prior art cuttings dryer commonly used in drying cuttings.

[0056] Referring initially to FIG. 1 , there is shown a schematic diagram of a commonly used prior art vertical cuttings dryer 10 , which typically includes a high speed vertical centrifuge 14 , the resulting cuttings are deposited on a screen assembly 17 before falling out of the dryer 10 . Be recycled. Other components of interest include the motor mount 12, the gearbox 15, and the beltway 19 in which the belt and sheaves are contained.

[0057] now refer to figure 2 , shows a schematic diagram of one non-limiting embodiment of the invention, showing a cuttings dryer 20 . Although it may be any type of cuttings dryer, the cuttings dryer 20 is preferably a vertical cuttings dryer. exist Figure 3 to Figure 6 Other views are sh...

Abstract

A drill cuttings dryer that includes a centrifuge especially adapted to process drill cuttings; a torque converter in communication with the centrifuge; a motor; and, a drive shaft in communication with both and linking the motor and torque converter. A method of processing drill cuttings containing a liquid by introducing the drill cuttings to centrifuge, and then providing power from a motor topower the centrifuge and subject the drill cuttings to centrifugal force sufficient to remove at least some of the liquid from the drill cuttings, wherein the motor provides power to the centrifuge through a drive shaft. A method of retrofitting a drill cuttings dryer that utilizes a belt and sheave system, includes replacing the belt and sheave system with a drive shaft based system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing cuttings and to a method of retrofitting a cuttings dryer. In another aspect, the invention relates to methods and apparatus for drying cuttings recovered from drilling fluids used to drill oil and gas wells, and to methods of retrofitting cuttings dryers. In even another aspect, the present invention relates to a cuttings dryer providing centrifugal force to the dryer through a drive shaft, to a method of drying cuttings using such a dryer, and to a method of retrofitting a cuttings dryer, in which In this cuttings dryer, centrifugal force is provided to the dryer through a belt-groove system. In yet another aspect, the invention relates to a drill cuttings dryer and a method for drying drill cuttings classifiable as Part 2 Class I and to a method for drying drill cuttings classified as Part 1 Class I The method of transforming the machine into a modified cuttings dryer classifi...
