What is Mud-Buster ?

-
A process to treat drill cuttings
-
The first partial oxidation reaction creates amphiphilic (surfactants) molecules that facilitate the movement of water through the contaminated soil matrix.
-
The reduction in surface tension is phenomenal; from 74 dynes/cm (clear water) before treatment to 34 (surface tension of a saturated soap solution) after treatment.
-
If the material dries out after Cool-Ox® treatment, it doesn’t matter, the soap is still there and activated as the soil is wetted by rain water or artificially from wells.
-
The oxidation process may cease if the oxidizer is spent, but the bio factor should restart when the soil is again wetted.
Mud-Buster will reduce:
-
The Need for Off-Site Disposal
-
Trucking Costs
-
Turn Around Time to apply the cuttings for land application
-
Man-power required
-
Handling Costs
-
Allows for the ability to receive more cuttings per week increasing revenue
