Drilling waste management company, TWMA, has launched an updated version of its award-winning RotoMill technology
RotoMill 2.0 is the most energy efficient RotoMill and offers an environmentally sustainable wellsite processing solution. It features TWMA’s XLink remote monitoring software, delivering greater operational insights, while automating the wellsite processing system. The state-of-the-art control scheme allows enhanced condition monitoring of the system, providing a predictive maintenance approach.
Gareth Innes, chief engineering & commercial officer at TWMA, said, “RotoMill 2.0 offers all the benefits of its predecessor while increasing operators’ overall efficiency. Our team of specialist engineers have worked hard for more than a year to develop and build the RotoMill 2.0, incorporating feedback from our customers along the way.
“By integrating our XLink technology into the RotoMill 2.0, we are offering customers with real-time insight into their operations. In addition to removing the requirement to ship drilling waste to shore, the RotoMill 2.0 features an improved engine design, working to further advance operators' decarbonisation goals.”
The unit is fitted with more than 110 operating stations in strategic locations within the modules and can now be operated fully remotely from the supervisor's office on-site or onshore. The new standardised design will reduce maintenance requirements, installation times and footprint while increasing processing performance.
The RotoMill 2.0 processes drilling waste at the wellsite, eliminating the need to transport drilling waste long distances for treatment. The solution recovers oil, water and solids from drill cuttings, allowing the reuse and recycling of all materials from the drilling waste.
