# Organoclay for Oilfield Drilling Waste Treatment – High Oil Adsorption Media | Camp-Shinning

Oilfield drilling operations generate wastewater and solids containing hydrocarbons, oily residues, and persistent hydrophobic compounds. Camp-Shinning supplies **organoclay adsorption media** engineered to capture oil-phase contaminants and support drilling waste treatment programs with reliable field handling.

## Typical Oilfield Drilling Waste Streams
– Drilling wastewater with dispersed oil
– Oily mud filtrate and wash water
– Drill cuttings with hydrocarbon staining
– Storage tank bottoms and oily slurries

## Why Organoclay Works for Hydrocarbon Removal
Organoclay is designed to interact strongly with hydrophobic organics, allowing it to:
– Bind free and dispersed hydrocarbons
– Reduce oil content in water streams prior to polishing
– Support dewatering and solids handling by holding oily fractions
– Improve performance of downstream treatment steps

## How It Is Used in Drilling Waste Treatment
Common use methods include:
– Media beds for flow-through filtration of oily water
– Batch dosing in tanks for oil capture and settling
– Blending into solids for stabilization and reduced leaching
– Pretreatment upstream of activated carbon or membrane units

## Key Benefits for Field Teams
– High oil adsorption capacity for variable loading
– Granular form for practical handling and dosing control
– Useful in both stand-alone treatment and multi-stage systems
– Supports reduced fouling in downstream polishing equipment

## Procurement and Packaging
Camp-Shinning supplies project-ready packaging in 25 kg bags with optional moisture-protective liners. Bulk logistics can be arranged for drilling sites and centralized waste facilities.

## FAQ

### Can organoclay reduce oil content in drilling wastewater?
Yes. It is designed to bind hydrocarbons and can lower oil loading before polishing or discharge treatment steps.

### Is it suitable for batch treatment tanks?
Yes. Many projects use batch dosing to capture oil and support settling or separation.

### Can it be used with other treatment technologies?
Yes. It can be used before carbon, membranes, flotation, or other polishing steps to reduce hydrocarbon fouling.

### What information helps with selection?
Flow rate, oil concentration range, solids content, and discharge targets are the most useful inputs.
