| Title: |
Combining cuttings dryer effluent |
| Text: |
"When left unprocessed, cuttings dryer effluent can significantly raise the level of low-gravity solids (LGS) in the drilling mud upon re-introduction. It was determined that the effluent of the cuttings dryer was best combined with the effluent of a low-speed centrifuge working in barite recovery mode, to be processed subsequently by a high-speed centrifuge working in fines separation mode." |
