| Title: |
Techniques for clean mud capture for reuse |
| Text: |
"There are many relatively simple processes that can be used on drilling rigs to capture clean mud that would otherwise be discarded and return it to use. Examples include pipe wipers, mud buckets, and vacuuming of spills on the rig floor. Recovery of mud during tank cleaning may also allow the mud to be reused. Solids control equipment, like centrifuges, can be used to remove solids from the recirculating mud stream." |
