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.

A vehicle-mounted portable apparatus for clarification and disinfection of wastewater produced by the washing of road drainage inlets and drains and tunnels, includes: a sludge collecting tank; a filter for coarse filtering of the sludge in the tank and a filter for finer filtration; and a dosage unit for pH adjustment additives. The apparatus includes a mixer for adding additives for purifying and disinfecting the sludge; a cyclone device for separating water from the sludge; and collection and settling elements for the separated water. The apparatus further includes a hydraulic line for the separated water for connection between the separation cyclone and collection and a settling component for the separated water, a dosage unit for disinfection additives provided on the hydraulic line for the separated water; and a hydraulic line for connection between the collection and settling component.

A method for dual water scrubbing and an in-line dual water scrubber for gas cleaning onboard a vessel are disclosed. The in-line dual water scrubber includes a vertical extended body, a gas inlet, and a gas outlet. The gas inlet is underlying in the lower section of the extended body and the gas outlet is overlying in the upper section of the extended body. A first underlying scrubbing section, and a second scrubbing section in an upper section of the extended body are provided. One or more liquid collectors are arranged above one or more first scrubbing liquid sprayers. The liquid collector is arranged for collecting one or more second scrubbing liquid and for flow through of a vertical upwards flowing gas-flow from the inlet to the outlet.

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.

A method of feeding a contaminated soil to a remediation apparatus to generate a clean soil and mixing the contaminated soil with an aqueous cleaning solution to generate a soil solution. The method also includes subjecting the soil solution to vortical flow in a first direction and subjecting the soil solution to vortical flow in a second direction in an opposite lateral direction from the first direction. The clean soil can then be separated from a dirty aqueous solution. A remediation apparatus used to clean the contaminated soil that includes a chamber having a soil inlet for receiving a contaminated soil and a soil outlet. The chamber is angled downward from the soil inlet to the soil outlet to facilitate the flow of the soil solution through the chamber. The remediation apparatus also includes a first set of nozzles to inject an aqueous cleaning solution to create a first vortical flow zone in the chamber in a first direction and a second set of nozzles to inject the aqueous cleaning solution to create a second vortical flow zone in the chamber in the second direction.

A mobile water treatment plant includes a container (10) having: a plurality of tanks, including a clarifying tank fitted with a multiplicity of inclined plates defining a multiplicity of channels there between, an upstream tank from which water is arranged to be fed to the clarifying tank and a downstream tank to which water is arranged to be fed from the clarifying tank; means for introducing a neutralizing agent into water in the upstream tank; at least one storage space within the interior space of the container for accommodating the neutralizing agent. The container is of generally cuboidal shape having a length greater than its width and having sides, ends, a top and a bottom and has corner fittings positioned to enable standard equipment for handling freight containers to engage the container and the overall width of the container is substantially the same as the width of a standard freight container.

Disclosed herein is a water treatment system. The system comprises a mixing station in which coagulant is mixed into water for treatment in the system. The system comprises a floccule accumulation station in which the building of floccules in the water/coagulant mixture is promoted. The system comprises a settlement station in which the floccules are allowed to settle. The mixing station, floccule accumulation station and settlement station comprise one or more reservoirs, wherein at least one of the one or more reservoirs is an intermediate bulk container.

A container-type apparatus for wastewater treatment with a suspended particle system, including one or multiple biological reaction zones. The biological reaction zones can be facultative, anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic and at least one of the biological reaction zones is a suspended particle system. Particles in the 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 multiple times. Based on actual requirements, this apparatus can also be a structure type. The suspended particle system can increase the concentration of microorganisms significantly, improve the ability to bear impact load, produce less sludge, and without sludge expansion.

A method and apparatus for processing waste water generated during oilfield drilling operations with a mobile processing unit utilizing heat energy sourced from burning hydrocarbon fuel directly and/or capturing and using the exhaust heat energy generated by burning hydrocarbons in engines such as diesel engines in order to vaporize a dominant mass of the aqueous phase of the waste water while clarifying the heat source combustion gasses. The water vapor generated by the vaporization process may be discharged directly to the atmosphere or alternately condensed and captured for use as potable water. The residual waste water is thereby concentrated and the cost to dispose of the waste water is greatly reduced.
