Abstract: A method for capturing and separating solids, liquids, and gases, such as during air drilling of a well, can include using a cylindrical vessel with an inlet to receive an input. A target plate can be used to impact the input, remove solid and liquid therefrom, and direct flow from the inlet, forming a vortex. A first chevron baffle, second chevron baffle, and demister baffle can further remove solid and liquid from the input, forming a cleaned gas. The cleaned gas can be burned, the solid can be dried, and the liquid can be recycled for reuse in drilling operations.

Abstract: A method for membrane fluid filtration and remediation is described herein. The method can include flowing a slurry into a scalping shaker and separating a first particulate from the slurry, forming a first effluent. Free oil can be removed from the first effluent using a first weir, forming a cleaned effluent that can be discharged using a second weir. The cleaned effluent can flow through an absorbent material disposed over a circulation tank for removing more free oil from the cleaned effluent, forming a circulation effluent. A sludge can settle from the circulation effluent within the circulation tank, forming a cleaned circulation stream. The cleaned circulation stream can flow through an ultra-filtration membrane which can separate the cleaned circulation stream, forming a clean permeate and a dirty concentrate. The dirty concentrate can flow back to the circulation tank for further processing.

Abstract: A method for fluid remediation and removing particulates from an aqueous stream is described herein. The method can use a separation component and a clarifier component. A slurry can flow to a scalping shaker which can separate the slurry, forming a first effluent. The first effluent can flow from the scalping shaker to a first section and can be agitated. The first effluent can be pumped to a mud cleaner and cleaned, forming a second effluent. The second effluent can flow into a second section and can be agitated. The second effluent can be pumped to a desilter and can be desilted, forming a third effluent. The third effluent can flow to a third section. The third effluent can be pumped to a second tank of the clarifier component. The third effluent can be decelerated within the second tank, forming a clean effluent.

Abstract: A fluid remediation system for removing particulates from an aqueous stream having a separation component and a clarifier component is described herein. The separation component can include a frame, a scalping shaker for receiving a primary slurry and forming a first effluent, a mud cleaner for receiving the first effluent and forming a second effluent, a desilter for receiving the second effluent and forming a third effluent, a tank for containing the effluents, agitators in the tank, and pumps for pumping the effluents. The clarifier component can include a second frame and a second tank for receiving the third effluent from the separation component, which forms a sludge and a clean effluent. The system can include a controller for controlling the system.

Abstract: A filtration and remediation system is disclosed herein including a quiet tank component, a circulation component, and a storage and filtration component, each with frames. The system can include a scalping shaker which can receive a slurry and separate a particulate from the slurry, forming an effluent. A tank can receive the effluent and a weir can remove oil from the effluent, forming a cleaned effluent. A second weir can discharge the cleaned effluent. The circulation component can include a tank and an absorbent material. The absorbent material can receive the cleaned effluent and remove oil from the cleaned effluent, forming a circulation effluent. A sludge can settle within the circulation tank from the circulation effluent, forming a cleaned circulation stream. The storage and filtration component can include a filtration membrane which can receive and separate the cleaned circulation stream into a clean permeate and a dirty concentrate.
