treatment cycle
Cuttings are received in sealed steel Cutting Boxes “Designed & Manufactured by GVOS” and dumped in Concrete Isolated waste pits. The TDU treatment principle is based on indirect heating in order to recycle Oily drilling wastes, the unit is designed to evaporate all the liquids and to condensate every element separately, so we can reuse. Oil, Water and Solids recycled from the TDU are valuable and can be reused directly without any pre-use treatment process, where GVOS already utilizes recovered Diesel in operating the Yard and the Unit.
