Drilling operations can generate a lot of liquid waste yielding streams with diverse characteristics. Our super sorbent solutions benefit multiple polymer drilling fluid applications. The are many negative environmental and health risks associated with drilling fluid contamination. Skin contact and inhalation of liquid drilling waste expose workforces to skin and lung irritants, contact dermatitis, and other damaging health effects. Drilling fluid contamination pollutes environments and impacts the climate.
The fluids used in drilling processes include simple water-based cuttings, high salt/chloride streams, oil/diesel-based cutting fluids and of course, blended wastes with water and hydrocarbons. We offer cost-effective alternatives to sawdust and corn cob for all types of drill cuttings. All our sorbent products are non-biodegradable, and they will not decompose and break down in a landfill releasing toxic liquids. All products meet 40 CFR 264.314 specifications as non-biodegradable absorbents.
Since 2000, M² Polymer Technologies has been a leader in providing sorbent solutions for challenging liquid waste needs. We are widely known for our Waste Lock® brand of super absorbent polymers for aqueous wastes.
Drilling Waste Solutions Absorbent Applications:
For oils/hydrocarbons we offer TOTALSORB® and Organolock® N-65 as well as TOTALSORB-Plus for oil & water mixed wastes.
Our broad range of drilling fluid super absorbent polymers can solidify liquid waste streams from:
- Oil & Natural Gas Drilling Fluid & Drilling Mud
- Drill Cuttings Disposal
- Drill Cutting Land Spreading (“Land Farming”)
- Potable Water Well Drilling
- Horizontal Boring & Tunneling
- Natural Gas Well Swabbing
- Mine Tailings
- Pit & Lagoon Remediation
- Vacuum Truck Solidification
- Dredging Waste
Our large inventory allows for quick order turn around.
