Dewatering Systems

Improve water conservation and minimize environmental impact

As water conservation becomes a greater public concern, the amount of water used
in drilling operations has also come under scrutiny. Fortunately, Baroid dewate
ring systems allow you to both recycle water and reduce the amount of waste tran
sported and disposed of in the environment.
Baroid uses both chemical and mechanical means to separate water from suspended
solids. With our ENVIRO-FLOC dewatering system, coagulation and flocculation are
applied to the fluid to chemically remove fine solids. In addition, a decanting
centrifuge employs mechanical separation, all in a versatile, mobile and winter
ized unit.
Recycle to reduce costs
The ENVIRO-FLOC system, and dissolved air flotation (DAF) units, can be used onsi
te to treat and recycle water as part of the solids control system, or to reduce
total waste volume for subsequent disposal. Reclaimed water can then be reused
in the drilling fluid, reducing fresh water consumption and costs, as well as re
ducing costly transport.
Versatile units, customized to meet project needs
Our high capacity, ENVIRO-FLOC system can process up to 300 gallons per minute,
a capability that assures high ROP operations won t be hindered. Plus, its versati
le design allows it to be fitted onto skids or trailers for full mobility and, b
ecause it is winterized, can be used in extremely cold conditions. Baroid engine
ers can design the entire waste management system around your specific operation
al requirements. Integration of the unit and each piece of equipment with the wa
ste management system is assured via Baroid s proven processes.
