Method and Device for Cleaning Drill Cuttings

A device for a receptacle for treatment of drill cuttings comprising cuttings and oil-based drilling mud;

• wherein the receptacle is connected to a frame structure;
• wherein the receptacle is restrictedly movable relative to the frame structure;
• wherein the receptacle is provided with at least one vibrator dimensioned in a manner allowing it to vibrate the drill cuttings into a particle-fluidized state when disposed in the receptacle;
• wherein the receptacle is provided with a supply of drill cuttings, and also an outlet opening for treated drill cuttings disposed at a lower portion of the receptacle;
• wherein the receptacle is provided with a soap supply (8) comprising a distribution pipe having several outlet openings;
• wherein the distribution pipe is located within the receptacle for distribution of soap within the drill cuttings, thereby allowing the soap to flow upwards through the drill cuttings, which is due to a higher density of the drill cuttings relative to that of the soap, whilst the drill cuttings are particle-fluidized;
• and
• wherein the receptacle is provided with an outlet located at an upper portion of the receptacle for draining liquid from the receptacle.
