Oil-Based Waste Solidification Reagent by MetaFLO Technologies
Environmentally safe solidification reagent designed to treat oil-based drill cuttings, tank bottoms, oily sludge, and oil-contaminated residues generated during oil and gas operations. MF008 rapidly transforms difficult oily waste streams into dry, stackable material for easier handling, transportation, and disposal. When free water is present in the waste stream, the technology can also be used in combination with MF003 or MF006 to optimize solidification performance.
In plain terms
MF008 is a solidification solution developed by MetaFLO Technologies for oil-based waste streams generated during drilling operations, tank cleaning, waste treatment, and general oil and gas activities.
Applied directly to oily residues such as oil-based drill cuttings, tank bottoms, invert mud residues, oily sludge, petroleum-based drilling waste, and oil-contaminated sediments, MF008 rapidly transforms unstable oily waste into stable, transport-ready solids for easier handling, storage, and landfill-compatible disposal.

Formulation
What is MF008?
MF008 is a non-hazardous, environmentally safe solidification reagent designed to rapidly treat oil- and grease-contaminated waste streams. Easy to apply and field-proven, the technology is used across industries that generate oily residual waste, including oil-based drill cuttings (OBM cuttings), invert drilling mud, tank bottoms, oily sludge, refinery waste, oily pad waste, contaminated sediments, and other industrial residues generated during drilling, tank cleaning, waste treatment, and maintenance operations.
What problems does MF008 solve?
Oil- and grease-contaminated waste streams are often difficult to handle, transport, and dispose of due to free oils, unstable consistency, sticky behavior, and high disposal costs. These materials may require specialized handling procedures, increase operational risks, complicate housekeeping conditions, and create logistical challenges during transportation, temporary storage, and final disposal.
Traditional oily waste treatment methods often rely on absorbent materials that significantly increase residue weight and volume, resulting in higher transportation costs, increased disposal volumes, and more complex waste logistics. MF008 was developed to simplify the management of oil- and grease-contaminated waste while reducing handling complexity and improving operational efficiency.
MF008 transforms unstable oily residues into a solid, non-flowable state that can be handled using standard on-site equipment and transported with conventional dump trucks to designated reuse, treatment, or disposal facilities. The technology helps reduce operational complexity, disposal costs, and environmental risks associated with oily waste management while using equipment already available on-site.
How does MF008 work?
MF008 is a safe, non-toxic granular solidification reagent designed to rapidly treat oily liquid waste streams. Applied directly to the waste material, the technology adsorbs free oils and grease, transforming unstable residues into dry, stackable material for easier handling, transportation, storage, and disposal.
MF008 typically solidifies oily waste in less than 10 minutes and is designed to replace traditional absorbent materials such as fly ash and sawdust, which may significantly increase waste weight, volume, and handling complexity.
For waste streams containing both oil and free water phases, MF008 can also be used in combination with MF003 or MF006, depending on waste composition and moisture content. The treated material can then be transported using standard dump trucks or similar equipment to designated reuse, treatment, or disposal facilities.

How to apply MF008
1. Review the Waste Source
Identify the process generating the waste stream to determine whether water may be present in addition to oils and grease. For multiphase waste streams originating from drilling fluids, tank cleaning, sludge treatment, or other emulsified oil-water systems, MF003 or MF006 can be used to optimize MF008 dosage and overall solidification efficiency.
2. Apply MF008 onto the Waste
Spread MF008 directly onto oily sludge, oil-based drill cuttings, tank bottoms, contaminated sediments, or other oil- and grease-contaminated waste materials.
3. Mechanically Mix the Material
Blend the material using excavators, loaders, or similar equipment to ensure homogeneous distribution throughout the waste stream.
4. Continue Mixing Until Solidified
MF008 rapidly adsorbs oils and grease, transforming unstable residues into dry, stackable material, typically in less than 10 minutes.
5. Transport, Stockpile, or Dispose
Once treated, the material can be handled using standard equipment and transported with conventional dump trucks to designated storage, treatment, reuse, or disposal facilities.
