# High-Capacity Organophilic Clay for Oilfield Sludge and Drill Cuttings Cleanup | Camp-Shinning

Oilfield sludge and drill cuttings often carry hydrocarbon residues that complicate disposal, transport, and treatment. Camp-Shinning provides **high-capacity organophilic clay** designed to adsorb oily fractions and support cleanup programs with improved handling and reduced leaching potential.

## Common Oilfield Solids Needing Treatment
– Drill cuttings with hydrocarbon staining
– Tank bottoms and oily sludge
– Pit residues and contaminated soil
– Dewatered solids from produced water systems

## How Organophilic Clay Improves Solids Cleanup
By binding hydrophobic organics, the clay can:
– Reduce free oil expression during handling
– Improve dewatering behavior in some solids systems
– Lower mobile hydrocarbon content for safer transport
– Support stabilization blends aimed at reduced leachability

## Implementation Options
– Direct blending into sludge and cuttings
– Pre-mixing in staging areas prior to transport
– Integration into stabilization or solidification programs
– Use alongside separation and dewatering equipment

## Field Benefits
– High oil adsorption capacity for heavy loading
– Granular handling supports uniform blending
– Reduces odor and oily surface sheen in treated solids
– Supports compliance-driven waste management strategies

## Packaging and Supply
Camp-Shinning supplies 25 kg bags and can coordinate bulk logistics for drilling campaigns and centralized waste treatment facilities.

## FAQ

### Can organophilic clay reduce free oil in cuttings?
Yes. It can bind hydrocarbon residues and help reduce oil expression during storage and handling.

### Is it used for sludge stabilization?
Yes. It is often blended into solids to capture oily fractions and support stabilization objectives.

### Does it replace thermal treatment?
It is not a thermal process; it supports adsorption and stabilization strategies where physical removal is not required.

### What information helps determine dosage?
Oil content, solids moisture, handling method, and disposal criteria are the main inputs for dosage planning.
