Thermal Desorption Unit (Drill Cuttings, 0.5 TPH)
Location: Southwest, USA
Vulcan® Drying Systems personnel commissioned a plant to a client in Southwest USA to remediate drill cuttings and other contaminated soils in a mobile indirect Rotary Thermal Desorption Unit with Vapor Recovery. This effort is aimed to reduce landfilling of drill cuttings and recycle diesel-based drilling fluids. Control technology was designed around EPA standards to ensure no negative environmental impacts from running the system.
The system was designed to process 0.5 TPH of drill cuttings from the Eagle Ford and Granite Wash shale plays in Southwest, USA.
