Abstract:
A system includes a fluid conduit, a fluid chamber in communication with the fluid conduit, a rheology sensor in communication with the fluid chamber, and an electric temperature controller in communication with the fluid chamber. The fluid chamber is cooled or heated in response to a first control signal from the electric temperature controller.

Abstract:
An apparatus including a screen capable of separating solids from a liquid-solid mixture and a first probe disposed beneath the screen. The first probe is provided to determine a position of a beach between the liquid-solid mixture and separated solids. The apparatus may measure a property of a local volume of a probe disposed beneath a first separator deck. The probe may then send a first signal to database. Based on the signal a location of a beach may be determined.
Abstract:
An apparatus may include a centrifuge bowl rotatable about its longitudinal axis, a discharge unit positioned to receive discharge fluid from the centrifuge bowl, a diverter fluid circuit in communication with the discharge unit, a measurement region of the diverter fluid circuit with a narrower diameter than a cross section of the discharge unit, and the diverter fluid circuit oriented to direct a portion of the discharge fluid from the discharge unit to the measurement region.

Abstract:
A system having a screen having an upper side and a lower side for separating drill cuttings and drilling fluid within a vibratory separator; a tray positioned below the screen for receiving the drilling fluid from the screen; a pressure differential generator coupled to the tray, the pressure differential generator configured to create a pressure differential between the upper side and the lower side through the screen to enhance the flow of drilling fluid through the screen; and a hose assembly coupling the pressure differential generator to a coupler, an inlet of the coupler being arranged perpendicularly between a first outlet coupled to a mist eliminator and a second outlet coupled to a tank.

Abstract:
A method, apparatus and system for flowing a fluid from an inlet flush nozzle onto tiered plates in a trough is provided. Material may fall from a deck in a vibratory separator, such as a shale shaker, into the trough, which is attached to the separator. The trough has a main inlet and the inlet flush nozzle that opens to tiered plates. An external pipe may feed the fluid into the main inlet and the inlet flush nozzle to lubricate the tiered plates in the trough. Material falling from the vibratory separator may float on the fluid to flow toward an outlet of the trough. A single plate with perforations may be used instead of the tiered plates to permit the fluid to penetrate the perforations to suspend the material, allowing the material to flow across the single plate to an outlet.
Abstract:
This disclosure is generally drawn to systems, devices, apparatuses, and/or methods, related to monitoring a shaker used for separating solids from fluid. Specifically, the disclosed systems, devices, apparatuses, and/or methods relate to capturing infrared images of a shaker or components thereof (e.g., shaker baskets, decks, screens) and performing actions on the shaker, its components, and/or the its operation based at least in part on the captured infrared images.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a vibratory separator having a first deck, a second deck, and a third deck, and a collection trough coupled to at least one of the first deck, the second deck and the third deck. The collection trough includes a conveying apparatus configured to convey a material in the collection trough to an outlet of the collection trough disposed proximate a first end of the collection trough.
