Waste fluid treatment

The disposal of waste drilling fluids & muds can require removal from site by tanker to one of a few locations with the equipment to process waste fluids and the cost of transport to suitable processing sites is very high. It is now often more economical, and nearly always more environmentally acceptable, to treat the waste drilling mud on site, to reduce the volume of liquid waste being sent away by tanker.

PSD has specialist equipment for the processing of waste bentonite by flocculation and centrifuge. This process usually enables waste drilling mud or slurry to be converted into a considerably reduced volume of solids that can be disposed of at landfill and practically clear water that is able to be discharged to the sewer system.
