Benefits of technology
This invention relates to a system and method for processing waste fluids by measuring their properties and adjusting their flow and flowability based on the measurements. This can include viscosity, pressure, and differences in pressure between two measurements. The system can compare the properties to predetermined values and adjust the flow and flowability by changing the destination of the waste fluid.
Problems solved by technology
In every application to date, large, costly positive displacement piston pumps are used for injection of liquid wastes, with solids content greater than a few hundred parts per million, from oil fields because fluid viscosities are not controlled to protect the pump and or the injection well.
The segregated systems use dedicated unload hoses and unload pumps for each type of fluid, thus increasing the cost of processing the waste streams.

Embodiment Construction
[0008]Reference will now be made in detail to various exemplary embodiments of the invention. It is to be understood that the following discussion of exemplary embodiments is not intended as a limitation on the invention. Rather, the following discussion is provided to give the reader a more detailed understanding of certain aspects and features of the invention.
[0009]As used herein, “high viscosity” fluids include water- or oil-based drilling muds, produced fluids, fracking fluids, crude storage tank sludge, each typically having a viscosity of at least 5 centipoise, including 10 centipoise, 15 centipoise, 20 centipoise, 25 centipoise, 50 centipoise, 100 centipoise, 200 centipoise, 500 centipoise, 1000 centipoise, 5,000 centipoise, 10,000 centipoise, or higher, or any range of viscosity within any of these parameters as endpoints. Lower viscosity fluids such as water and brine typically have a viscosity of less than 5 centipoise, such as 1 centipoise.

Abstract
Systems and methods for processing one or more waste fluids by measuring one or more properties of a waste fluid and adjusting the flow and / or flowability of the waste fluid based on the measurement are disclosed. The one or more properties of the waste fluid can include a viscosity of the waste fluid, a pressure of the waste fluid, and / or or a difference in pressure of the waste fluid. Adjusting the flow and / or flowability of the waste fluid can include adjusting the one or more properties of the waste fluid and / or affecting the direction of flow of the waste fluid in a manner which changes the destination of the waste fluid.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a Divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16 / 839,366 filed Apr. 3, 2020, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The present invention is directed to the field of waste fluid processing. More particularly, embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods which handle waste fluids from oil fields by measuring one or more properties of the waste fluids and adjusting the flow and / or flowability of the waste fluids based on the measurement.Description of Related Art[0003]Oil field liquid waste facilities receive produced water, drilling muds, tank sludges, frac fluids and all other liquid wastes generated during the drilling and production of hydrocarbons. In every application to date, large, costly positive displacement piston pumps are used for injection of liquid wastes, with solids conten...
