Abstract:
Particulate matter is deposited on an inclined vibrating screen. A spray of wash solution is directed onto the cuttings. As the cuttings move down the incline, the vibration agitates the wash solution and hydrocarbon contaminants from the cuttings. The solution is recovered below the screen. Washed cuttings are deposited onto a second inclined vibrating screen unit, where the procedure may be repeated. Recovered washing solution is cleaned and recirculated.
