# Best Adsorbent Clay for Oil-Contaminated Drill Cuttings and Sludge Treatment | Camp-Shinning

Oil-contaminated drill cuttings and sludge can create disposal challenges due to hydrocarbon staining, odor, and mobility of oily fractions. Camp-Shinning provides **organobentonite and organophilic bentonite clay** that can adsorb hydrocarbons and support improved solids management for oilfield operations.

## Common Solids Requiring Hydrocarbon Control
– Drill cuttings with residual oil
– Pit residues and oily sludge
– Tank bottoms and recovered solids
– Dewatered cake from treatment units

## What to Look for in an Adsorbent Clay
A practical adsorbent clay should deliver:
– High hydrocarbon uptake for heavy loading
– Granular or free-flowing handling for uniform blending
– Reduced oil expression during storage and transport
– Compatibility with stabilization or solidification processes

## How Organobentonite Supports Cuttings and Sludge Treatment
– Binds hydrophobic organics within the solids matrix
– Helps reduce surface oil sheen and odor contributors
– Supports safer handling and staging prior to disposal
– Can improve leaching control when used in stabilization blends

## Application Methods
– Direct blending into cuttings piles or sludge tanks
– Pre-mixing with bulking agents for improved handling
– Integration into S/S programs where containment is required
– Use with dewatering systems to manage oily fractions

## Packaging and Logistics
Camp-Shinning supplies 25 kg bags and can support bulk supply planning for drilling programs, waste treatment sites, and contractors.

## FAQ

### Can adsorbent clay reduce free oil in cuttings?
Yes. It can bind oily fractions and reduce visible oil expression when properly blended.

### Is it used for sludge stabilization?
Yes. It can be incorporated into stabilization mixes to reduce mobility of hydrophobic organics.

### Does it work with high moisture solids?
It can be used in wet sludge, though blending strategy and dosage should be optimized for moisture content and hydrocarbon load.

### How is dosage determined?
Dosage is typically set through site trials or bench testing based on oil content and disposal criteria.
