A trailer or motor vehicle containing a power supply, a basket centrifuge(s) connected to the power supply for powered operation thereof, a live bottom conveyor for supplying swarf to the centrifuges, a portable feed hopper with attached augers for supplying swarf to the live bottom conveyor, a bag liner to filter the extracted lubricant as it exits the basket, a crane for lifting the bag liner out of the basket, a container to accumulate the dried swarf, a container to accumulate the extracted lubricant.

Waste disposal methods

Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for collecting, storing, separating, and disposing of waste material from an oil and gas well site in order to enhance payload efficiency. An embodiment of a method, for example, may include introducing a waste material into an enhanced-payload mobile vessel positioned at the oil and gas well site, the waste material selected to include one or more of a sludge waste material, a solids-laden wastewater material, and a dry waste material. The method may further include transporting the waste material when positioned in the enhanced-payload mobile vessel along roadways to an off-site waste management facility. Additionally, the method may include dumping the waste material from the enhanced-payload mobile vessel by a site-based lifting mechanism into a receiving vessel at the off-site waste management facility thereby to dispose of the waste material at a reduced transportation cost.

CONTAINER-TYPE APPARATUS WITH A SUSPENDED PARTICLE SYSTEM FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT

The present disclosure provides a container-type apparatus for wastewater treatment with a suspended particle system, including one or multiple biological reaction zones. Said biological reaction zones can be facultative, anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic and at least one of said biological reaction zones is a suspended particle system. Particles in said suspended particle system act as the carrier of microbiota and offer better conditions for them to grow. The apparatus adopts a box structure, such as a container type, which is convenient to move, flexible to assemble, and can be used for multiple times. Based on actual requirements, this apparatus can also be a structure type. The suspended particle system disclosed herein applied in wastewater treatment can increase the concentration of microorganisms significantly, improve the ability to bear impact load, produce less sludge, and without sludge expansion. Meanwhile, the means to suspend particles by gas and liquid is able to reduce energy consumption to a larger extent. Therefore, this system features high efficiency and low energy consumption.

MOBILE FLOCCULATION AND FRACKING WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
20180257004 · 2018-09-13 ·

A mobile flocculation and water treatment system includes at least one tank, preferably a series of adjoining tanks separated by weirs, and an adjacent pump house mounted on a mobile platform. At least one pump is mounted in the pump house. Fluid conduits run from the pumps to the tank. An overflow is mounted between the downstream tank and the pump house whereby fluid overflow from the tanks is directed into the pump house. The pump house provides a substantially water-tight reservoir zone to provide secondary containment. Water to be treated enters the upstream end of the tanks and is discharged from the downstream end.
