Solving the Pit Disposal Challenge
Once drilling operations cease, the disposal of spent Water-Based Mud (WBM) stored in reserve pits becomes a critical challenge. Direct disposal is often prohibited or exorbitantly expensive due to the liquid content. KES Separation offers proven dewatering solutions that chemically condition the mud and mechanically separate the water, leaving behind a dry, stackable cake and clear water suitable for reuse or safe discharge .
Two Proven Treatment Paths
We offer flexibility to match your specific site conditions and budget. Option A: Centrifuge Dewatering – This continuous process utilizes a high-speed decanter centrifuge combined with an automated polymer dosing unit. Housed in a compact 40ft container, it offers non-stop processing and fast installation, typically achieving 40-50% moisture content in the cake . Option B: Filter Press Dewatering – For projects requiring superior dryness, our Filter Press solution is unmatched. By combining chemical flocculation with high-pressure filtration, this batch process produces significantly drier mud cakes and clearer filtrate compared to centrifuges, making it ideal for strict landfill requirements .
Key Application Areas
KES High-Pressure Filter Presses replace liquid waste hauling, processing spent drilling fluids into dry stackable cakes for cost-effective disposal.
Drilling Pit Closure
Dewatering reserve pits to facilitate site restoration and closure.
Spent WBM Treatment
Reducing the volume of liquid waste generated at the end of a well.
Water Recovery
Producing clear water that can be reused for rig cleaning or mixing new mud.
Volume Reduction Lower Disposal Costs
By separating the water phase, you dramatically reduce the volume of waste that needs to be hauled away, leading to substantial savings on logistics and tipping fees.
Performance Flexibility
Choose between the speed and continuity of centrifuges or the superior dryness of filter presses to suit your project’s specific operational tempo.
