Objective
In this recycling system, the primary objective is to dewater the resulting drilling mud. The dewatered material is subsequently disposed of, while the resulting process water is fed into the process water recycling system.

Recycling system
For dewatering, the muds are first fed to a feed hopper. From there, a screw conveyor transports the solids-water mixture evenly onto a dewatering screen. The vibrating motion of the screen dewaters the material and simultaneously transports it into the material box. The separated water is collected in a pump sump and from there fed to the customer's process water recycling system.
