Definitions
- This invention relates to bins or containers, and more particularly to truck transport bins for liquid or slurry bulk materials.
- drilling cuttings from drilling rig shakers can be captured in a truck transport bin.
- the drilling cuttings can be wet or in a slurry condition.
- a powder drying agent is mixed to the captured drilling cuttings to cause the wet cuttings to dry, and the dried cuttings are then loaded onto a truck and sent for offsite disposal.
- the solidification methods can increase disposal and trucking costs and can have negative environment impacts, such as from airborne drying agents.
- the slurry truck transport bin includes a double-walled bin tub of molded resin that has an inner wall bounding a cavity for containing unsolidified waste slurry, a lip bounding an opening of the cavity, an outer wall defining channels extending across a bottom of the bin tub opposite the cavity opening and sized to accept forklift tines, and structural ribs connecting the inner and outer walls and arranged to support a floor of the cavity under weight of over a metric ton of unsolidified waste as the bin tub is lifted by forklift.
- the slurry truck transport bin also includes a double-walled lid of molded resin configured to span the cavity opening, the lid defining an underside perimeter channel sized to receive the lip of the bin tub.
- the inner wall of the bin tub at the lip and an inner wall surface of the lid bounding the perimeter channel are of complementary tapers.
- the relative sizes of the bin tub lip and the inner wall surface of the lid are such that when the lid is placed on the bin tub with the lip in the channel, the inner wall of the bin tub is positioned to engage the tapered inner wall surface of the lid with the lip of the bin lid spaced from a bottom of the lid channel.
- the bin tub is of such flexibility that cinching the lid to the bin tub with a force sufficient to cause the tapered inner wall surface to slide along the inner tub surface until the bin tub lip contacts the bottom of the lid channel, flexes the bin tub lip outward without cracking, thereby forming a barrier to slurry flow along two sets of contacting surfaces between the bin tub and the lid.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to bins or containers, and more particularly to truck transport bins for liquid or slurry bulk materials.
- In oil or gas drilling process, drilling cuttings from drilling rig shakers, e.g., mud/dirt waste from the drilling process, can be captured in a truck transport bin. The drilling cuttings can be wet or in a slurry condition. Alternatively, in solidification methods, a powder drying agent is mixed to the captured drilling cuttings to cause the wet cuttings to dry, and the dried cuttings are then loaded onto a truck and sent for offsite disposal. However, the solidification methods can increase disposal and trucking costs and can have negative environment impacts, such as from airborne drying agents.
- One aspect of the invention features a slurry truck transport bin for oil or gas drilling waste. The slurry truck transport bin includes a double-walled bin tub of molded resin that has an inner wall bounding a cavity for containing unsolidified waste slurry, a lip bounding an opening of the cavity, an outer wall defining channels extending across a bottom of the bin tub opposite the cavity opening and sized to accept forklift tines, and structural ribs connecting the inner and outer walls and arranged to support a floor of the cavity under weight of over a metric ton of unsolidified waste as the bin tub is lifted by forklift. The slurry truck transport bin also includes a double-walled lid of molded resin configured to span the cavity opening, the lid defining an underside perimeter channel sized to receive the lip of the bin tub. The inner wall of the bin tub at the lip and an inner wall surface of the lid bounding the perimeter channel are of complementary tapers. The relative sizes of the bin tub lip and the inner wall surface of the lid are such that when the lid is placed on the bin tub with the lip in the channel, the inner wall of the bin tub is positioned to engage the tapered inner wall surface of the lid with the lip of the bin lid spaced from a bottom of the lid channel. The bin tub is of such flexibility that cinching the lid to the bin tub with a force sufficient to cause the tapered inner wall surface to slide along the inner tub surface until the bin tub lip contacts the bottom of the lid channel, flexes the bin tub lip outward without cracking, thereby forming a barrier to slurry flow along two sets of contacting surfaces between the bin tub and the lid.
- The double-walled bin tub of molded resin can include a sealed void space defined between the inner wall and the outer wall. The double-walled bin tub of molded resin and the double-walled lid of molded resin can each be in the form of a unitarily molded structure. In some cases, the bin tub and the lid are each rotationally molded high density polyethylene (HDPE) structures.
- In some implementations, the lid includes an upper wall, a bottom wall, and a side wall connecting the upper wall and the bottom wall, and the upper wall, the bottom wall, and the side wall define therebetween a sealed void space. The upper wall can define upperside channels sized to accept forklift tines, and the lid can include one or more metal plates attached to the upper wall and spanning the upperside channels so as to confine forklift tines within the upperside channels. In some examples, the upperside channels include a first set of channels and a second set of channels intersecting channels of the first set, and the metal plates span intersections between channels of the first and second sets. The bottom wall of the lid can also define one or more recesses extending horizontally along a length of the lid.
- When the bin tub lip contacts the bottom of the lid channel, an outer surface of the outer wall can be in contact with an inner surface of a side wall of the lid, thereby forming a third set of contacting surfaces between the bin tub and the lid to secure the slurry flow within the bin tub.
- In some implementations, the slurry truck transport bin includes a rubber bulb seal positioned in contact with the tapered inner wall surface of the lid within the underside perimeter channel and sized to be compressed and flex outward when the tapered inner wall surface slides along the inner tub surface of the inner wall.
- In some implementations, the slurry truck transport bin includes a rubber bulb seal positioned in contact with an inner surface of a side wall of the lid within the underside perimeter channel and sized to be in contact with both an outer surface of the outer wall and the inner surface of the side wall when the lid is placed on the bin tub with the lip in the channel.
- The slurry truck transport bin can include one or more metal plates spanning the channels on the bottom of the bin tub and configured to confine forklift tines within the channels. In some cases, the bin includes one or more releasable ratchet strips surrounding the lid and secured to the outer wall of the bin tub.
- In some examples, the tapered inner wall surface of the lid has a vertical height of between about 3 inches and 5 inches, measured perpendicular to the bottom of the lid channel. The cavity for containing unsolidified waste slurry can defines a volume of at least 3.5 cubic yards, and the slurry truck transport bin has an empty weight of less than about 1000 pounds.
- The details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features, objects, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.

- The present disclosure describes a slurry truck transport bin which may be used to capture and contain liquid or slurry bulk materials, e.g., oil or gas drilling waste, for transportation. In one aspect, a slurry truck transport bin includes a double-walled bin tub of molded resin and a double-walled lid of molded resin, which provides tight and secure seals for unsolidified waste slurry contained in the bin tub. The bin tub includes channels on the bottom of the bin tub that are sized to accept forklift tines.
- An operator can operate a forklift to place the double-walled bin tub directly under drilling rig shakers to capture wet drill cuttings. When the captured wet drill cuttings reach a predetermined holding capacity, e.g., 90% of a volume capacity of the bin tub, the forklift operator can move the bin tub from under the drilling rig shakers and set the bin tub in a staging area. Another empty double-walled bin tub can be placed under the drilling rig shakers to continue capturing the wet drill cuttings. The forklift operator then places the double-walled lid on the bin tub containing the captured wet drill cuttings and secures the lid on the bin tub, e.g., by exerting a force on the lid and/or using releasable ratchet straps. After securing the lid to the bin tub, the secured slurry truck transport bin is ready to be trucked off for disposal.
- With reference to
FIGS. 1A-1E , an example implementation of a slurrytruck transport bin 100 is shown in various views and various configurations. As illustrated, the slurrytruck transport bin 100 includes a double-walled bin tub 102 and a double-walled lid 104. Thebin tub 102 is configured to capture and hold waste, particularly unsolidified waste slurry, e.g., water waste or wet drill cuttings in oil/gas drilling processes. Thelid 104 is configured to cover thebin tub 102 on the top and secure the waste within thebin tub 102.FIGS. 1C and 1D show exploded configurations for thebin tub 102 and thelid 104.FIGS. 1A , 1B, and 1E show closed configurations for thebin tub 102 and thelid 104. -
FIGS. 2A-2C illustrate various views of the double-walled bin tub 102 of the slurrytruck transport bin 100 ofFIGS. 1A-1E . The double-walled bin tub 102 includes aninner wall 122 and anouter wall 124. Theinner wall 122 bounds acavity 121 for containing the waste. Thebin tub 102 includes alip 126 that connects theinner wall 122 and theouter wall 124. Thelip 126 includes aninner lip edge 125 and anouter lip edge 127. Theinner lip edge 125 bounds an opening of thecavity 121. Theouter lip 127 defines an outer circumference of thebin tub 102 at the opening of thecavity 121. - The
bin tub 102 can be in a form of a unitarily molded structure, and/or without welds and without openings. Thebin tub 102 can be fabricated by rotational molding using plastic, e.g., molten resin such as polyethylene or any suitable molding material. In a particular example, the plastic includes high density polyethylene (HDPE). Thebin tub 102 is a rotationally molded HDPE structure. - The
inner wall 122, theouter wall 124, and thelip 126 define therebetween a sealedinner space 123. Thebin tub 102 can include one ormore structure ribs 128 in theinner space 123. Thestructure ribs 128 are placed between theinner wall 122 and theouter wall 124, e.g., on the bottom of theinner wall 122 and on the top of theouter wall 124. Thestructure ribs 128 can connect the inner and outer walls and be arranged to support a floor of thecavity 121 under a weight of waste, e.g., over a metric ton of unsolidified waste, as thebin tub 102 is lifted by a forklift. In some examples, thestructure ribs 128 are made of metal such as steel. - In some implementations, the
inner space 123 is a sealed void space, which can decrease an empty weight of thebin tub 102. The voice space can also provide flexibility for theinner wall 122. When theinner wall 122 is pressed under a pressure or a force, theinner wall 122 can flex outward without cracking. In some implementations, theinner space 123 is filled with foam materials. The foam materials can include heat insulating foam such as urethane foam, such that the waste in thecavity 121 can be protected against hot and/or cold temperatures outside thebin tub 102. The foam materials can be configured to support thecavity 121 and/or have flexibility to be compressed under pressure. - One or
more mark lines 121′ can be marked at one or more positions on an inner surface of theinner wall 122. The mark lines 121′ can be used to indicate different levels of thecavity 121 for holding waste, e.g., 50%, 60%, 90%, or a maximum allowable capacity. The mark lines 121′ can be marked using different colors to indicate the different levels, e.g., green for 60%, or red for 90%. - The
inner wall 122 can be a taper. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 2A , theinner wall 122 has a larger circumference at the opening of thecavity 121 and a smaller circumference at the bottom of thecavity 121. The circumference of theinner wall 122 can gradually decrease from the opening to the bottom of thecavity 121, e.g., with an inclined angle. In some examples, theinner wall 122 can have round corners at the bottom and at the opening of thecavity 121. - The
outer wall 124 can have round corners at the bottom of theouter wall 124 and/or at the top of theouter wall 124. Theouter wall 124 can extend vertically from the top of theouter wall 124 or thelip 126 to a turning position “T”, extend horizontally for a distance, and then extend as a taper or slope to the bottom of thebin tub 102. - In some implementations, the
bin tub 102 includes asupporter 130 extending from the turning position “T” to the bottom of thebin tub 124. Thesupporter 130 can have a complementary shape to an outer surface of theouter wall 124 to support thebin tub 102 or thebin 100. - As illustrated, the double-
walled bin tub 102 can have a cuboid shape. In some implementations, thebin tub 102 includes one or more support recesses 132 along Y direction (in width) and one or more support recesses 134 along X direction (in length). The support recesses 132 and 134 can extend from theouter wall 124 to theinner wall 122, e.g., for strengthening thebin tub 102 and/or providing support for thecavity 121. - The bottom of the
bin tub 102 defines a first set ofchannels 133 along X direction and a second set ofchannels 135 along Y direction.Channels bin tub 102. Thechannels channels bin tub 102 than at the bottom of the channels, which provides easy access for the forklift tines. - The
bin tub 102 can includemetal plates 136 attached to the bottom of thebin tub 102, particularly at the bottom of thechannels 133 and/or 135. Themetal plates 136 can be attached to theouter wall 124 by fasteners, e.g., screws and/or bolts, or by welding. Themetal plates 136 can confine the forklift tines within thechannels 133 and/or 135 during operating thebin tub 102. Themetal plates 136 can also strengthen the bottom of thebin tub 102 and/or keep the bottom of thebin tub 102 in shape, e.g., in a flat shape. In some cases, themetal plates 136 are made of stainless steel, e.g., Grade 316 steel. -
FIGS. 3A-3C illustrate various views of the double-walled lid 104 of the slurrytruck transport bin 100 ofFIGS. 1A-1E . The double-walled lid 104 is configured to cover and seal the double-walled bin tub 102. - The
lid 104 includes abottom wall 142, atop wall 144, and aside wall 146 for connecting thebottom wall 142 and thetop wall 144. Thelid 104 defines a sealedinner space 143. Theinner space 143 can be a sealed void space that reduces a weight of thelid 104 and increases flexibility of thelid 104. - The
lid 104 can be in the form of a unitarily molded structure, including thebottom wall 142, thetop wall 144, and theside wall 146. Similar to fabricating thebin tub 102, thelid 104 can be fabricated by rotational molding using plastic, e.g., high density polyethylene (HDPE). - The
lid 104 can span the opening of thecavity 121, e.g., around thelip 126 of thebin tub 102. In some implementations, thelid 104 defines anunderside perimeter channel 145 to receive thelip 126. Thechannel 145 can be defined by aninner surface 146′ of theside wall 146, thebottom wall 142 of thelid 104, and theinner wall surface 142′ of thelid 104. Theinner wall surface 142′ of thelid 104 bounding theperimeter channel 145 can be a complementary taper to theinner wall 122 of thebin tub 102. - Referring back to
FIG. 1E , relative sizes of thelip 126 and theinner wall surface 142′ of thelid 104 are such that, when thelid 104 is placed on thebin tub 102 with thelip 126 in thechannel 145, theinner wall 124 of thebin tub 102 is positioned to engage the taperedinner wall surface 142′ of thelid 104 with thelip 126 spaced from a bottom of thelid channel 145. - As noted above, the
bin tub 102 can be made of molten resin. Thebin tub 102 can have such flexibility that cinching thelid 104 to thebin tub 102 with a force sufficient to cause the taperedinner wall surface 142′ to slide along an inner tub surface of theinner wall 122 until thebin tub lip 126 contacts the bottom of thelid channel 145 and flexes thebin tub lip 126 outward without cracking, thereby forming a barrier to slurry flow along sets of contacting surfaces between thebin tub 102 and thelid 104. The sets of contacting surfaces can include a first set of contacting surfaces of the taperedinner wall surface 142′ and the inner tub surface of theinner wall 122, and a second set of contacting surfaces of thelip 126 and the bottom of thelid channel 145. - In some implementations, the
bin 100, e.g., thelid 104, includes aflexible seal 108 placed in contact with the taperedinner wall surface 142′ within the lid channel. When the taperedinner wall surface 142′ slides along the inner tub surface of theinner wall 122, theflexible seal 108 can be pressed to increase the sealing between the taperedinner wall surface 142′ and the inner tub surface of theinner wall 122. - The
flexible seal 108 can be a rubber bulb seal made of, for example, EPDM, silicone, viton® fluoroelastomer, or vinyle. The rubber bulb seal can be cut to a suitable length with a scissor or a knife. The rubber bulb seal can be placed in thelid channel 145 with staples, tacks, screws, or adhesive. In a particular example, theseal 108 is Style 1 rubber bulb seal from McMaster-Carr, Inc. Theseal 108 can have a width of about ¾ inch, a height of about ¼ inch, and a bulb diameter of about ¼ inch. - When the
lip 126 contacts the bottom of thelid channel 145, the vertical portion of theouter wall 124 can be in contact with theinner surface 146′ of theside wall 146 of thelid 104. The inner surface of theside wall 146 can flex thebin tub lip 126 inward without cracking, thereby forming another barrier to the slurry flow along a third set of contacting surface between thebin tub 102 and thelid 104 to further secure the slurry flow within thebin tub 102. - In some implementations, a second flexible seal, e.g., a rubber bulb seal, is placed in contact with the
inner surface 146′ within thechannel 145. When thelip 126 contacts the bottom of thelid channel 145, the second flexible seal is pressed to create a tight seal between the vertical portion of theouter wall 124 and theinner surface 146′. - Referring back to
FIGS. 3A-3C , thebottom wall 142 defines one ormore recesses 150 extending horizontally along a length of thelid 104, e.g., in X direction. Therecesses 150 can provide flexibility for thelid 104. For example, when the taperedinner wall surface 142′ slides along the inner tub surface of theinner wall 122 by a force, theinner wall 122 can flex theinner wall surface 142′ inward without cracking, which increases the sealing between thebin tub 102 and thelid 104. Eachrecess 150 can have a same depth as thechannel 145. Therecess 150 is configured to have a wider width on the bottom than the top of therecess 150. Having therecesses 150 in thebottom wall 142 also reduces a weight of thelid 104. - The
top wall 144 of thelid 104 can define a first set ofchannels 147 along X direction and a second set ofchannels 149 along Y direction. The first and second sets ofchannels lid 104 can includemetal plates 148 placed on top of the channels, particularly spanning on intersections between thechannels - The
metal plates 148 can be secured to thetop wall 144 by fasteners, e.g., screws and/or bolts, or by welding. Themetal plates 148 can confine the forklift tines within thechannels 147 and/or 149 when thelid 104 is placed onto thebin tub 102 or taken away from thebin tub 102. Themetal plates 148 also strengthens thetop wall 144 and/or keep thetop wall 144 in shape, e.g., in a flat shape. Themetal plates 148 can be made of stainless steel, e.g., Grade 316 steel. In some examples, thelid 104 includes aring 152 in a center of thetop wall 144. A rope can be tied through thering 152 for operatinglid 104. - In a particular example, an outer surface of the
bin tub 102 has a length of about 96 inch (in X direction), a width of about 66 inch (in Y direction), and a height of about 40 inch (in Z direction). Thesupporter 130 has a height hS of about 27.5 inch, and a bottom width ws of about 4.4 inch. Eachchannel adjacent channels lip 126 has a width of about 2.5 inch from theinner lip edge 125 to theouter lip edge 127. - The
lid 104 has a length of about 98.5 inch (in X direction) and a width of about 68.5 inch (in Y direction). Thechannel 145 can have a depth hL of between about 3 inch and 5 inch, e.g., about 4.84 inch, measured perpendicular to the bottom of thelid channel 145. The taperedinner wall surface 142′ has a length of about 91 inch and a width of about 61.2 inch at the bottom of the lid 104 (e.g., the top of the channel 145) . The taperedinner wall surface 142′ can have round corners at the bottom of thechannel 145 and the top of thechannel 145. The round corners at the bottom of thechannel 145 can have a radius of about 3.25 inch. Thetop wall 142 of thelid 104 can have round corners, e.g., with a radius of about 5.0 inch. - An empty weight of the slurry
truck transport bin 100 depends on wall thicknesses of thebin tub 102 and thelid 104. Thebin tub 102 can have a same wall thickness for theinner wall 122, theouter wall 124, and thelip 126. The wall thickness of thebin tub 102 can be designed together with the molding materials, e.g., HDPE, to have strength stronger enough to hold over tons of unsolidified waste. The wall thickness of thebin tub 102 can be about ½ inch or ⅜ inch. Thebin tub 102 can have an empty weight of about 500 pounds. - The
lid 104 can have a same wall thickness for thebottom wall 142, thetop wall 144, and theside wall 146. The wall thickness of thelid 104 can be the same as the wall thickness of thebin tub 102. Thelid 104 can have a weight of about 100 pounds. - In some cases, when the wall thickness is about ½ inch, a total empty weight of the
bin 100 is about 970 pounds. When the wall thickness is about ⅜ inch, the total weight of thebin 100 is about 825 pounds. - The
cavity 121 of thebin 100 defines a volume of at least 3.5 cubic yards, and thebin 100 can have an empty weight less than about 1,000 pounds. With multiple sealing configurations between the double-walled bin tub 102 and the doublewalled lid 104, as discussed above, thebin 100 can be filled up to 90% of the volume capacity of thecavity 121. A truck can haul a number of slurrytruck transport bins 100, e.g., three bins, getting on average 24 tons of unsolidified waste slurry per truck load. - In some implementations, as illustrated in
FIG. 1B , the slurrytruck transport bin 100 includes one or morereleasable straps 106, e.g., ratchet straps or ratchet tie downs. Thestraps 106 are configured to further secure thelid 104 to thebin tub 102. Eachstrap 106 can include a heavy duty ratchet and two S-hooks, e.g., vinyl coated S-hooks. Thestrap 106 can be made of polyester, e.g., 6,000 pounds industrial grade black polyester. In a particular example, thestrap 106 has a working load limit of about 833 pounds and an assembly break strength of about 2,500 pounds. Thestrap 106 can have a width of about 1 inch. Multiple straps can be used together as a single strap pack to increase the strength of the straps. - After the
lid 104 is secured to thebin tub 102, an operator can tie thestraps 106 around thelid 104 and thebin tub 102, e.g., within thechannels 147 and/or 149 of thelid 104 and thechannels 133 and/or 135 of thebin tub 102, and further secure thelid 104 and thebin tub 102 by operating ratchets of thestraps 106. In some cases, the operator uses 4 to 8 straps for securing thelid 104 to thebin tub 102. One or more other releasable ratchet straps can be used to secure or fix the slurrytruck transport bin 100 onto a transportation truck. - While a number of examples have been described for illustration purposes, the foregoing description is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the scope of the appended claims. There are and will be other examples and modifications within the scope of the following claims.
