Overview

The safest, most efficient way to handle and process drilling waste.

Our market leading drilling waste processing technology, the RotoMill, is the safest and most efficient way to process drilling waste at the wellsite or at a centralised processing site.

The RotoMill uses a process of thermal desorption to separate drill cuttings and associated materials into their three constituent parts – oil, water and solids – for recycling and reuse.

Process Outputs

Recover 1bbl of oil for every tonne processed.

Recovered oil retains the physical properties found in the drilling fluids'
base oil, due to pre-determined temperature within the mill chamber. It
is then recycled back into the drilling fluid system.

Recovered water can be used to wet down the recovered powder. It can then be discharged following testing and confirmation that it meets any
prescribed discharge requirements <30 ppm and typically <10 ppm.

Recovered solids have hydrocarbon content <1% and typically <0.1%.
These solids are classed as inert and suitable for disposal at site.

Environment

Reduce your carbon footprint by 50%.

Our industry-defining technology converts drill cutting waste into resources you can reuse and recycle at the wellsite to promote sustainable operations. Recovered oil is recycled directly back into the active mud system at site, while inert solids and processed water can be safely disposed of at site. 

By eliminating all logistics associated with transporting waste offsite for treatment and disposal, TWMA's wellsite processing solutions can reduce the carbon footprint of your operation by 50%. 

Key Benefits

Eliminating Costly Logistics Expenditure Is Just The Beginning

By processing drill cuttings at the wellsite, operators can reduce total cost of ownership by up to 40%. This is achieved by eliminating shipping and logistics and waiting on weather downtime associated with skip and ship operations.

Processing drilling waste on-site significantly reduces the number of lifting operations by up to 95% (compared with skip and ship operations).

Not only does this reduce safety risk to personnel, but also eliminates waiting on weather risk, allowing your drilling operations to continue in adverse weather conditions where lifting operations are often suspended.
