Duvernay Shale Field
Shale based drill cuttings are considered hazardous waste and trucked to landfill
Thermal cleaning technology creates the perfect conditions to produce high quality expanded-shale.
ROCK MACHINE TECHNOLOGY
❑ Operating temperature of 2,000 C cleans shale fragment of oil-based contaminants. ❑ Shale at 2,000 C for 40 minutes causes shale to pop and harden making it an ideal soil material. ❑ Reduces volume of waste in landfill ❑ AER and Alberta Environment Approved ❑ Produces up to 1 tonne per hour
Fertilizing with nutrient loaded expanded shale increases agricultural yields. ▪ Grass seed planted in 100% cleaned shale drill cuttings October 31st. ▪ Water added once at time of planting. ▪ Natural light only used (no artificial lighting). ▪ Picture taken November 14th. ▪ AGAT lab results indicated below measurable hydrocarbon residues.
