The Diffuser has a myriad of applications including: the drilling industry for clear water drilling applications, stripping applications for whole mud, environmental applications from sump cleanup to plant site systems for feed water clarification, boiler water cleanup and clarification, and also includes brine systems both fresh and chloride saturated. Viscous muds can be run through the system for stripping and it can even be used as a centrifuge feed system if required. It can be used offshore for stripping applications on barges being fed by multiple rigs, or land based clean- up of different types of mud systems and supplying fresh fluid to many concurrent drilling applications.
