Waste management

Knotswap’s division remains a cornerstone of the company’s operations. Currently, we are involved in both municipal and private contracts where we manage waste from households, schools, and businesses, maintaining a high level of service delivery throughout the country. Our operations include on-site waste management, recycling initiatives, as well as the removal of rubble and construction waste.

Hazardous waste handling

The cuttings generated during the oil based md sections are quite hazardous and require a specialized method treatment. These cuttings are usually highly contaminated with oil based mud. For effective treatment, they have to be transported to the location of the thermal desorption unit in a manner that is not harmful to man and the environment. Knotswap technical services limited provides spill proof skips that are all certified to international oil and gas industry standards and are designed in such a way to prevent accidental spillages in areas that the hazardous waste may cause serious damage to both man and his environment.

In addition to this, Knotswap has in place an excellent logistics team in place that
ensures that the transportation of the waste from where it is generated to the treatment site ensuring that there is no negative environmental impact. Our vehicles are also highly maintained and pre-mob vehicles that match the current industry standard. The drivers are also highly trained on the safe methods of transporting hazardous waste as well as defensive driving.

The waste management expert constantly communicates with the
logistics team to ensure a smooth execution of the projects

Filtration Services

Knotswap Technical Services Limited has a state of the art filtration system that is uniquely designed for effective particle removal that ensures the fluid purity is optimized which is critical to maximum production. The Knotswap ideology in handling projects is that every project is unique. This is why our highly trained field specialists design the best practicable system to handle the filtration requirements of all our esteemed clients.

We offer the following brine filtration services;

• Filtration and separation
• Completion fluids
• Work over chemicals
• Pre-completions wellbore clean up tools
• As a rental/service company, we can supply all components and personnel required to carry out filtration operations.

Our filtration system provides many benefits which include:

• Improved recovery of completion fluids and brines
• Preventing blockage of formation pore and perforations
• Prevention of solid accumulation in the well annulus
• Safeguarding the completion assembly from particle settlement
• Meeting the discharge compliance legislations of the regulatory agencies
• Optimizing well performance

Produced water treatment

KIn addition to filtration services, Knotswap specializes in water treatment processes and technologies to remove all oil, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, solids, toxic materials and other contaminants from your operations waste water stream. Knotswap provides consistent results to produce environmentally compliant processes with increased oil recovery and production.

How our Produced Water Treatment systems work:

• Conventional pre-treatment, such as corrugated plate separation, hydrocyclones, air flotation or sand filtration is used to remove the bulk of the oil and suspended solids.
• The ‘clarified’ water is physically polished by membrane Ultrafiltration, which reduces oil concentration to less than 0.3 mg/l, and suspended solids to below the limits of detection. The Ultrafiltration membranes utilize a modified polyacrylonitrile chemistry, which has been developed to be extremely oleo phobic and thus resistant to free-oil fouling.
• The oil and suspended solid free water is treated using membrane Nanofiltration, which removes the bulk of heavy metals and organic compounds. Nanofiltration provides negligible resistance to the passage of monovalent ions such as chlorides, so it is able to operate on high salinity waters where the inefficient productivity of Reverse Osmosis would render it uneconomical.

Tank Cleaning

We provide extremely cost-effective tank cleaning services, using the most advanced tank cleaning technologies available to ensure that tanks are taken out of use for the minimum time.

With highly trained operatives, our cleaning methods for both manual and automated fuel tank cleaning meet and frequently exceed the latest compliance and health & safety standards. We use powerful remote-controlled mechanical washers to speed up tank cleaning, reducing downtime and man-entry costs such as scaffolding.

For manual tank cleaning, our operatives are trained to operate in confined spaces using breathing apparatus and jetting equipment. Where necessary, we use cold cutting techniques to access enclosed tanks, and will uplift and transfer fuel and residues. We follow up cleaning by testing and issuing gas-free certification.

We also offer other storage tank cleaning services which include but not limited to:

• Fuel tank cleaning
• Oil tank cleaning
• Diesel tank cleaning
• Underground tank cleaning
• Water tank removal

Onshore/offsite cutting treatments

Constituents from a waste stream in such a manner that they are preserved for collection and recycling. It involves the use of thermal energy to remove the volatile oil from the cuttings in a manner that both constituents are still suitable
for reuse and recycling.

After successful transportation of the contaminated cuttings from the drilling site to the treatment site, the cuttings are tested to determine the chemical characteristics of the cutting contaminated with oil. This will determine the treatment method to be employed and will also be useful in determining the effectiveness of the treatment method. The waste to be treated is properly screened and undergoes several processes and stages to separate the oil from the cuttings. The temperature used to achieve the separation is just enough to ensure that the nature and characteristics of the oil based mud is not destroyed.
