Abstract:
A drill cuttings solidification system includes a cuttings tank for storage of a drill cuttings material, an additive tank for storage of a solidification material, and a solidification chamber. The cuttings tank and the additive tank are operatively connected to a portable unit. The cuttings tank includes a cuttings auger assembly for conveyance of the drill cuttings material to a cuttings outlet. The additive tank includes an additive auger assembly for conveyance of the solidification material to an additive outlet. The solidification chamber includes a housing enclosing the cuttings outlet and the additive outlet, and an impeller for mixing drill cuttings material transferred through the cuttings outlet and solidification material transferred through the additive outlet. The system further includes a discharge assembly extending from the solidification chamber to a discharge outlet. The discharge assembly is configured to rotate and vertically pivot a discharge conduit relative to the portable unit.
