Oil Based Mud

Emdad is proud to operate the only plant in the GCC that processes the waste mud produced from oil and gas well drilling operations and treats the cutting to recover the oil and water using a heat-and –centrifuge process. EMDAD is using a Thermal Oil Recovery (THOR) system supplied from Nov Brandt, that applies indirect heat to remove all the hydrocarbon contaminants from the cuttings.

The amount generated yearly is estimated to be about 25,000 metric tons. The treatment objective is to reduce the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon concentration in the treated cuttings to below the environmentally acceptable criteria of 0.1% w/w.

EMDAD Successfully has achieved the following:

• EMDAD contractual capacity is up to 25,000 tons per year
• Total quantity treated to date is near 75000a metric tons
• The facilities treat from 25% Oil Content to 0.1% in 15 min for every ton
