Abstract

A system for cleaning drill cuttings is disclosed, the system including a degassing module configured to substantially degas water; a washing module in fluid communication with the degassing module configured to wash drill cuttings with a washing fluid containing the degassed water; a gassing module in fluid communication with the washing module configured to gas the washing fluid; and an oil removal module in fluid communication with the gassing module configured to separate oily contaminants from the gassed washing fluid. A method for cleaning drill cuttings is also disclosed, the method including substantially degassing water; washing drill cuttings with a washing fluid containing the degassed water; gassing the washing fluid; and separating oily contaminants from the gassed washing fluid.
