| Title: |
Reuse cuttings as a fuel source |
| Text: |
"Reuse of Cuttings: Use of cuttings for fuel: Several trials have been conducted in the United Kingdom using oily cuttings as a fuel at a power plant. Cuttings were blended in at a low rate with coal, the primary fuel source. The resulting ash was much the same as the ash from burning just the coal. Generating stations should be located near the point where cuttings originate or are landed onshore from offshore operations, to minimize the need to transport cuttings." |
