Title: Waste management system
Text: "Mobil implemented a waste management program for the Hugoton field operations. The waste management system decreased overall waste-related costs while improving compliance assurance and reducing potential liability. The key element was a mechanical solids control system consisting of a semi-closed loop centrifuge flocculation dewatering process that removes solids for burial on location."
