Abstract
The composition of and method of manufacturing and using a composite absorption material for solidifying a waste stream from oil and gas industry drilling operations. The waste stream has a liquid component and is solidified prior to transportation to a landfill. The absorption material is a pelletized composite blend of agricultural fibers and a superabsorbent polymer that has been specifically proportioned to solidify liquids in the waste stream for transport and disposal.
Claims18
An absorption material for the solidification of a waste stream, the absorption material consisting essentially of
- (a) between approximately 80% and approximately 98% by weight agricultural fibers;
- and
- (b) between approximately 20% and approximately 2% by weight superabsorbent polymer.
A method of solidifying a waste stream having a liquid component, the method comprising:
- adding to the waste stream an absorption material comprising:
- (a) between approximately 80% and approximately 98% by weight agricultural fibers;
- and
- (b) between approximately 20% and approximately 2% by weight superabsorbent polymer.
A method of making an absorption material for the solidification of a waste stream, the method comprising:
