Abstract: Dry earthen material from an oil/gas well drilling rig is injected into an elongated vessel with a number of rings of nozzles that are arranged in conjunction with a number of water and/or chemical spray nozzles and a baffling system to knock the air/gas out of the cuttings and vent it. A relatively thick muddy waste is produced which may be easily disposed of.

Abstract: A mount for a screen assembly, a screen assembly with such a mount, and a vibratory separator (e.g., a shale shaker) with such a screen assembly; the mount in certain aspects including a body with an inwardly projecting handle apparatus accessible when the screen assembly with such a mount is located in operation position on a mount structure of a vibratory separator.

Abstract: A screen assembly for mounting on mounting structure of a vibratory separator, the mounting structure having at least one support part, and methods of its use, the screen assembly including a frame with a first frame end, a second frame end and a first side and a second side, at least one crossmember, extending from the first frame end to the second frame end, and spaced-apart from the sides, the frame having a top and a bottom, the at least one crossmember having a top and a bottom positionable above and adjacent a support part of the mounting structure, screening material on the frame, and space maintenance apparatus on the bottom of the at least one crossmember for occupying a space between the crossmember and the support part.

Abstract: A screen assembly for a vibratory separator, the screen assembly including at least one lower coarse screen member, at least one upper fine screen member above the at least one lower coarse screen member and fused with plastic to the at least one lower coarse screen member, and a strip member beneath and adhered to the at least one lower coarse screen member. In one aspect the strip member includes two side strips, two end pieces, and a plurality of spaced-apart strips parallel to the two side strips each with an end terminating at, in, or on each of the end pieces.
