Fracking and Drilling Sludge Solidification

SludgeGuard Bales

SludgeGuard Bales

Waste water sludge from drilling and fracking operations are easily stabilized by our cost effective bulk solidifier SludgeGuard. This user friendly product is less dusty and has a lower cost per barrel to treat than conventional products like corn cobs or sawdust, because it adds far less bulk to the liquid to be disposed of. It can also be customized for different applications that require a product that must treat more oil than water or vice versa. The effectiveness of SludgeGuard over corn cob or sawdust is calculated at a magnitude of up to 1/2 the cost or less to treat on a per gallon or per ton basis. The table below shows some of the comparisons. Read more…
