An improved fluid mixing apparatus is disclosed for the mechanical mixing of fluids or solids-laden slurries contained within a vessel. The invention utilizes a fluid driven turbine to drive a submerged mixing impeller through a speed reducing gearbox. A fluid conducting stator houses one or more turbine blade row(s) that are rotated as a working fluid is pumped through the turbine section by an external pump that circulates fluid at the required flow rate and head. The turbine shaft is rigidly connected to the high speed input shaft of a speed reducing gear box. The low speed output of the gearbox is rigidly attached to submerged mixing impeller(s).

An agitator for agitating drilling fluid or other slurries or mixtures in a tank includes a pressurized and fluid-free compartment within the tank. The motor driving the agitator is housed in the fluid-free compartment. Control apparatus senses fluid levels and, in conjunction with a compressed gas source, maintains the compartment fluid-free. Additionally, when the fluid level in the enclosure drops to a predetermined minimum, the speed of the agitator may be slowed.

A screen assembly is disclosed for use with vibratory separators. The screen assembly includes a structural frame mounted to a vibratory separator into which a plurality of lightweight and flexible screen elements are inserted into multiple rows of perforated troughs which have geometric shapes. The perforated troughs are bonded to each other and to the structural frame. The perforated troughs are aligned parallel to the direction in which solids are conveyed by a vibratory motion.
