Waste Shale Fertilizer

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.
