Apparatus and a process are provided for treating used drilling mud, particularly that produced during clearwater drilling. A structural and highway transportable skid comprises two or more settling tanks connected in succession. Flocculation aids settling of solids to the bottom and clarified liquid forms at the surface. Clarified liquid flows from one tank to the next successive tank. Clarified liquid is produced from the last of the successive settling tanks. The tanks have flat bottoms. Passageways extend between each successive tank for gravity-flowing liquid from one tank to successive settling tank. A solids tank is also mounted within the skid. The solids and settling tanks are located for weight-balancing. A rotational suction is positioned in the bottom of each settling tank and having one or more radially extending conduits which rotate about an axis and have inlets at their distal ends which traverse an inscribed circular path about the periphery of the tank's bottom. Collected solids are directed to the solids tank and a drag conveyor transporting solids product outside the skid. 37
