Abstract:
Provided herein are solids removal systems for dehydrator systems comprising a large rotating paddle, a small rotating paddle, and a drive shaft. The dehydrator system also includes a core dehydrator and a mixing unit. The core dehydrator comprises a plurality of small deflector plaques in fluidic communication with a plurality of large deflector plaques. The mixing unit includes a rapid mixing manifold in fluidic communication with a plurality of vertical flocculators and the core dehydrator. The large rotating paddle and the small rotating paddle of the solids removal system are connected to the drive shaft and configured to remove solids from the core dehydrator.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of removing solids from drilling fluids comprising the steps of:\n providing drilling fluids to a dehydrator system comprising a solids removal system in fluidic communication with a core dehydrator, wherein the core dehydrator comprises a plurality of small deflector plaques and a plurality of large deflector plaques, the solids removal system comprises a large cylindrical section, a large rotating paddle, a small cylindrical section, a small rotating paddle and a drive shaft, the drive shaft is connected to the large rotating paddle and the small rotating paddle, and the large cylindrical section and the small cylindrical section are in fluidic communication with the plurality of small deflector plaques and the plurality of large deflector plaques; mixing drilling fluids with polymer solution in the mixing unit to produce flocculated drilling fluids comprising micro-floccules; collecting micro-floccules with the small deflector plaques and the large deflector plaques wherein micro-floccules agglutinate and enlarge producing solids; separating the solids from the flocculated drilling fluids; and removing solids from the dehydrator system, wherein the large rotating paddle and the small rotating paddle are configured to move solids from the large cylindrical section to the small cylindrical section and out of the dehydrator system.
