Published purpose

To develop processes to clean used LLDPE frac pond liners and HDPE pipe used in the Canadian oil business using a waterless wash system after the plastic is collected and compacted. Cleaning the collected plastic is the major hurdle to be overcome in order to successfully recycle oilfield plastic. The majority of oilfield used plastic is deposited into landfill. Waterless wash for cleaning oilfield plastic is currently unavailable in Canada.
