COST STUDY #1

Using Slurry Solidify Water, to stabilize and transport sludge <.pdf download > from a waste lagoon at a manufacturing plant. The waste was very wet and contained heavy metals and diesel fuel. Using Slurry Solidify Water solidification times, transportation and disposal cost were all dramatically cut.

COST STUDY #2

Slurry Solidify Water being used in a very cold climate.

• 3 cups of Slurry Solidify Water were mixed with 30 gallons of concrete slurry
• The project was in Minnesota, during the month of October
• After 30 minutes and no signs of thickening, 3 more cups were added
• After another 30 minutes, 3 more cups were added . . . and so on . . .
• Eventually, a total of 16 cups were added
• The following morning, the contractor had a solid rubber brick in the drum.
• Case in point: The wet waste will harden as the temperatures warm. In colder conditions, it simply take a little longer but to solidify but . . . adding more absorbent is not necessary.

Slurry Solidify - Synergy

For use when the slurry is a combination of everything . . . oils, fresh and salt water, not neutral on the pH scale.

SOLIDIFICATION YIELD: If a 55 gallon drum of slurry or sludge, 3/4 full (roughly 40 gallons), weighs 300 pounds, times the 5% Dosage Rule (300 lbs. X 5%). You’ll need 15 pounds of Slurry Solidify – Synergy to solidify the material. Also note, the more solids that are in the material to solidify, the less Synergy you’ll use. Thus, it is always better to remove as much liquid as possible.

Recommended Applications: Drill Mud – Or any other mixture of goop or sludge . . . Natural gas and or oil drilling operations are good examples of larger waste steams that have diverse effects on our environment. From simple water-based cuttings to mixtures of salt, oil and diesel fluids. These blended waste streams are typically absorbed with saw dust and corn cob based minerals.

As a cost effective alternative, Slurry Solidify Synergy will handle these mixtures. FACTS:

1. When the fresh water content does NOT exceed 50% or when the waste stream is NOT close to neutral on the pH scale, Slurry Solidify Synergy is the “catch-all” absorbent to use.
2. If the water content in the waste stream is 70% (maybe even 60%), do not underestimate the ability of our #1 selling SAP: Slurry Solidify Premium – Water.

Coverage / Absorption Ratios – Slurry Solidify Synergy

The General Rule is: 5% of the Weight. A few examples are as follows:

• 100 tons of drill cuttings requires 5 tons of Slurry Solidify – Synergy
• 50 tons of drill cuttings requires 2.5 tons of Slurry Solidify – Synergy
• 5 gallon bucket of sludge (consisting of petroleum, water and muck) that weighs 60 pounds requires 2.5 pounds of Slurry Solidify – Synergy.

Expected curing time, from a liquid to a dry waste: Less than 3 minutes.

Product Attributes:

A non-selective, universal “one product” granular with super absorbent water crystals.

Absorb large volumes of water and oil based waste – including: Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, Water (fresh and salt).

Also effective on strong acids and alkaline waste.

From waste waters to heavy sludge – Slurry Synergy completely and quickly solidifies water and oil based liquid waste into a Dry, Fluffy, and Earth Friendly Grit.

Approved for Immediate Landfill Disposal.

Simple. Safe. Ready to Act. A One Inventory Item – regardless of the slurry’s pH reading.

Solidified waste is absorbed to a grit or earth friendly paste that is safe to water on (the solidified grit is not slippery).

H SALT

Additional Applications: Very effective lubricant or shale inhibitor during earth drilling operations. Improves the drilling fluid’s ability (typically a salt water solution) to remove cuttings from the wellbore. A blend of super absorbent polymers provides the best combination of properties for absorption and dissolubility.

Treated Mud Solidification – Problem:
The process of drilling through the earth typically exceeds 100’s of thousands of gallons of drill mud. The liquid waste typically consists of a brine solution.

Solution:
To optimize disposal costs, reducing transportation and disposal cost by eliminating the number of trucks and for transporting the solidified mud waste also needs to be considered; as well as being in compliance with management regulations for liquid waste disposal.

Result: Using HSALT, drill mud is typically solidified with an average reagent dosage of 1.5% (by weight) while eliminating any additional liquid waste treatments. Likewise, you can also include that an estimated a number of hours of trucking, 100’s to 1000’s, will be eliminated as well. If the treated solid meets requirements for beneficial reuse, you should also be able to prevent any unnecessary landfill and associated cost for unclean soil.

Product Attributes:

• Structural nature of the polymer improves the cutting and carrying ability to keep drill holes clean.
• Good compatibility with a wide mix of ingredients.
• Simple on-site application, directly added or mixed with the slurry.

Method of Application: 0.1 ~ 0.5% and according to the job site condition.

Reduces Slip & Fall Accidents

Floors, Decks, Platforms. Etc. After you fall, your health should be your first priority. . . . costs of slip-and-fall accidents are now approaching 80 billion dollars each year, with that number expected to double in the next decade.

Slurry Solidify Synergy is a gritting Super Absorbent Polymer that solidifies wet liquids (wet, oils and a combination of both) to an “Earth Friendly” Grit that is safe to walk on. Other types of polymer absorbents (including Slurry Solidify – Water) will solidify the liquid waste to a slippery gel or jelly that will create a health and a liability risk.

Additional Features:

• A Universal, High-Grade, Versatile “One” Product Super Absorbent (that does not create a slippery condition)
• Absorbs & encapsulates large quantities of water (fresh or salt), oils, solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, diesel and jet fuel, acids, alkaline, and all other organic chemicals and any mix of these liquids
• The versatility of using Slurry Synergy translates into a Simple, Safe, Ready to Act “One Inventory Item”
• Non-Selective: A single absorbent material capable of absorbing almost every type of liquid from any type of land surface, and effectively removing hydrocarbons from a water surface as well
• Non-Toxic, no associated Health or Safety issues or environmental issues in use or disposal
• Will not ignite instantly when exposed to heat or flame ~ Once solidified the dry waste can be incinerated.
• Completely Biodegradable. Benefits land filling for both hazardous and non-hazardous waste (landfill friendly, no long term environmental effect). Or, depending on the condition, left on site to solidify as a solid (A+ application for solidification of fresh water wetlands)
• Solidifies concrete slurry on the floor to a dry grit that is safe to walk on and can be swept using a push broom.
• Solidifies or absorbs on contact, its quick absorption means less spill spread and less penetration resulting in lower clean up cost
• Non-leaching ~ A super absorbent polymer that will hold onto the absorbed liquid – this means less dripping during a cleanup
• Vapor Suppressive – reduces flammable vapors by 90% and the particles in the slurry waste are absorbed into the polymer and its proprietary ingredients – the substances are literally sucked into, retained and held within the polymer.
• Solidifies all types of liquids with minimal expansion (increase in weight) is 20% or less
• Nothing – including a wide mix of elements within the slurry or liquid waste – will affect the solidification process, including temperature!
