Abstract

A drilling system for use in drilling a wellbore including a driving mechanism and a separation device disposed upstream of the driving mechanism. The separation device filters at least a portion of any solids from drilling media flowing through a filter flow path of the separation device. The separation device flushes at least a portion of the filtered solids through a flush flow path, through a flush outlet on an outer surface of the separation device, and into an annulus between the outer surface of the separation device and the wellbore. Optionally, the drilling system includes a second driving mechanism and a second separation device disposed above the second driving mechanism.
