The application of the plant and machines is the decontamination of soil cuttings which are generated during drilling operations. The cuttings are contaminated with oil based drilling mud. The purpose is to reach the UK 500 mg/kg limit on hydrocarbon contamination of soil. The decontaminated soil may be placed on non-hazardous landfill sites without further treatment, or may be used e.g. in road constructions, ceramic industry or other industrial use.
Engineers at Palladin Hungary have developed a state-of-the-art technology to treat soil, contaminated with oil derivate compounds. Their invention is based on the research which was performed in co-operation with the Hungarian Academy of Science.
Palladin Hungary has brought one of its newest inventions to the British market – MUD MAX©.
MUD MAX© is a new proven technology for the decontamination and recycling of drilling cuttings and other contaminated soil substances.
In 2008 our designers identified a serious threat to the environment wherever drilling (or similar) operations are carried out – namely the contamination of soil by hydrocarbons used in the operation.
The “mud” and soil recovery during drilling operations is contaminated and could lead to harmful environmental and health impact if not treated correctly.

MUD MAX© is now available in the United Kingdom and can be leased from Palladin UK Limited, our British subsidiary.
