  • Diffuser and solids collection and measurement system for use in conjunction with oil and gas wells
    Patent number: 10914128
    Abstract: A diffuser and solids collection system includes an enclosure including an input for receiving from a petroleum well a stream of fluid carrying solids. A set of baffles within the enclosure reduces the velocity of the stream of fluid. A solids collector in fluid communication with the enclosure receives the stream of fluid after the reduction in the velocity of the fluid by the set of baffles. A weighing system coupled to the solids collector for weighing the collected solids.
    Type: Grant

  • Diffuser and solids collection and measurement system for use in conjunction with oil and gas wells
    Patent number: 10385635
    Abstract: A diffuser and solids collection system includes a first baffle section having an input for receiving from a petroleum well a fluid carrying solids and a first set of internal baffles for reducing a velocity of the fluid. A second baffle section in fluid communication with the first baffle section has a second set of internal baffles for further reducing the velocity of the fluid. A solids collection container separates the solids from the fluid received from the second baffle section. A weighing system, supported by the second baffle section and supporting the solids collection container, weighs the solids collected in the solids collection container.
