  • Patent number: 12258824
    Abstract: A method can include receiving a target density value for a drilling fluid exiting a sedimentation device; receiving a measured density value for the drilling fluid directed to the sedimentation device, a measured density value for the drilling fluid exiting the sedimentation device, and an incoming flow rate value for the drilling fluid directed to the sedimentation device; and generating control instructions for control of an injection pump to regulate a diluent injection pump rate to dilute the drilling fluid entering the sedimentation device to achieve the target density value.

  • Publication number: 20190299128
    Abstract: A mud cleaning system may include a system inlet carrying mud from a wellbore, a heater, a fluid separating system, and a system outlet carrying the mud to a holding vessel. The system inlet, the heater, the separator, and the system outlet may be fluidly connected such that mud flows from the system inlet, into the heater and the separator, and then out the system outlet.
