Tier 1: Dewatering Plus

Separate submicrometer-size particles and dissolved solids with ultrafiltration purification technologies. Reclaim wastewater for beneficial use.

Remove suspended solids.
Maximize fluid reuse.
Meet strict effluent limitations and onsite discharge requirements.
Produce clear, drinkable water.

Tier 2: Enhanced Fluid Recycling

Removes colloidal-sized particles that can significantly degrade the performance of water-based drilling fluids. Eliminates the need for costly dilution to maintain density and rheological properties.

Remove up to 100% of suspended solids.
Extend fluid life up to a factor of 10.
Reclaim water for new mud and rig washdown.
Minimize colloidal solids, enabling faster ROP.

Tier 3: Basic Fluid Recycling

Reuse your drilling fluid or service liquid by removing suspended solids. Reduce total waste, disposal costs, additive consumption, and water usage.

Reduce waste and disposal costs up to 60%.
Recycle valuable drilling fluids.
Increase ROP and decrease NPT.
Outperform current industry standards for greater cost savings.
