Abstract
A system includes a multi-feeder assembly. The multi-feeder assembly includes a first solids feeder, a liquid removal section, and a second solids feeder. The first solids feeder is configured to receive a solids flow from an upstream system. The liquid removal section is configured to reduce an amount of liquid in the solids flow. The second solids feeder is configured to receive the solids flow in series with the first solids feeder and output the solids flow to a downstream system.
Claims26
A system, comprising:
- a multi-feeder assembly, comprising:
- a first solids feeder configured to receive a solids flow from an upstream system;
- a liquid removal section configured to reduce an amount of liquid in the solids flow;
- and
- a second solids feeder configured to receive the solids flow in series with the first solids feeder, wherein the second solids feeder is configured to output the solids flow to a downstream system.

A system, comprising:
- a controller configured to control parameters of a multi-feeder assembly having a first solids feeder, a liquid removal section, and a second solids feeder, wherein the parameters comprise a first feed rate of a solids flow through the first solids feeder and a second feed rate of the solids flow through the second solids feeder.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a solids flow in a first solids feeder of a multi-feeder assembly;
- reducing an amount of liquid in the solids flow with a liquid removal section of the multi-feeder assembly;
- and
- modifying a pressure of the solids flow with a second solids feeder of the multi-feeder assembly.
