US Patent 9737919 Portable wet drilling waste treatment

Portable wet drilling waste treatment. In one example embodiment, a method for portable wet drilling waste treatment may include transporting a transportable frame, maneuvering an open end of a waste conduit, vacuuming air and the wet drilling waste, using a motor-driven vacuum, into the open end of the waste conduit, through the waste conduit, and into a cyclonic separator, separating the wet drilling waste from the air using the cyclonic separator, using a waste auger to transport the wet drilling waste, using a treatment material auger to transport a treatment material, operating the waste auger and the treatment material auger at coordinated rates to transport an effective ratio of the wet drilling waste to the treatment material, using a mixing auger to simultaneously transport the wet drilling waste and the treatment material, and operating the mixing auger at an effective rate resulting in a solidified treated material.
