Solid management

Prices for specific units will vary based on the level of customization needed to integrate the MMDS into the solids management system. A mobile DC200 is available for rent at 400 per week. A mobile DC360 is available for 1500 per week (personal communication Kenneth Kinecki, Recra Environmental, Inc., 1996). The estimated price for treatment is 1 to 5 per ton (D103811, p. 15). 

Problems with salt/solids management, including the potential for plugging and difficulties in pressure let-down, was thoroughly described in the SCWO report (NRC, 1998) but have not been resolved in the ADP as currently modified. Further development work and testing will be necessary to address this important issue. The tests carried out by General Atomics to demonstrate high destruction efficiencies... 

Reservoir solids may be produced during exploitation of petroleum reservoirs. Solids management practices depend on the nature of the reservoir and the produced fluids. For conventional oil and gas reservoirs, operators normally have focused on prevention or control of solids influx into production wells. In Canada, exploitation of heavy oil reservoirs has been found to be more effective when solids are produced. 

From a solids management point of view, production of heavy oil from unconsolidated formations poses different challenges than conventional oil and gas production. Production of large quantities of solids is critical for maintaining the productivity of wells in heavy oil reservoirs. This has necessitated the development of special pumping systems to transport fluids with high solids content. 

Prediction of Solids Production. In the development of conventional oil and gas reservoirs, solids management strategies are used to avoid solids production by proper production practices or to control or prevent solids production, if it is unavoidable. The use of solids control methods is usually based on experience with analogous offset wells in the area where a new well is to be drilled. Offset well data can be used effectively if the geological and reservoir characteristics and the well drilling, completion, and production procedures are similar. It is often difficult or expensive to recomplete wells if a solids production problem occurs after initial completion of the well. In some cases, productivity may be negatively impacted if solids control is retroactively installed in... 

Where management commitment to safety is solid, management achieves an understanding by what it does that all in the organization are to manage their endeavors with respect to hazards so that the risks deriving from those hazards are acceptable.

OSHA deals with fire protection from an employee safety standpoint, and many of the points covered in the OSHA standard are solid management practices for property safety as well. Subpart E, Means of Egress, is taken from NFPA 101-1970, the Life Safety Code. The emphasis of this subpart is on protecting the employee once a fire has started. It informs the employer what to do to protect workers during the fire by addressing egress methods, automatic sprinkler systems, fire alarms, emergency action plans, and fire prevention plans.

Much of the current activity in the field of sohd waste management, especially with respect to hazardous wastes and resources recoveiy, is a direct consequence of recent legislation. Therefore, it is important to review the principal legislation that has affected the entire field of solid-waste management. 

Resource Recovery Act, 1970 The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 was amended by Public Law 95-512, the Resources Recovery Ac4 of 1970. This act directed that the emphasis of the national solid-waste-management program should be shitted from disposal as its pri-maiy objective to that of recycling and reuse of recoverable materials in sohd wastes or the conversion of wastes to energy.
