Refineries and industrial operations, both domestic and international, handle large volumes of liquids and generate solid or semi-solid waste. Effective spill control, filtration, and landfill containment are critical for safety, environmental compliance, and operational efficiency. Attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth (DE) are natural minerals that provide versatile, high-performance solutions for these industrial requirements. AUSDE, through Hudson Marketing supply absorbent and adsorbent powders and granules that fit your specification and requirements.

Why Spill Control is Essential in Refineries

Refineries manage liquids including crude feedstocks, process chemicals, oils, fuels, and wastewater. Uncontrolled spills pose risks such as:

• Safety hazards like slips, chemical exposure, and fire risk
• Environmental contamination of soil, groundwater, and nearby waterways
• Non-compliance with government regulations
• Equipment damage to pumps, valves, and pipelines

Using effective absorbents and adsorbents ensures operational safety, environmental protection, and uninterrupted production.

How Attapulgite Clay Granules Help with Spill Management

Attapulgite clay granules have a fibrous, porous structure that allows them to efficiently absorb and adsorb liquids. Key benefits include:

• High absorption capacity for oils, fuels, water, and chemical solutions
• Adsorption of contaminants to prevent spread and environmental impact
• Chemical inertness for safe use with industrial substances
• Ease of cleanup, reducing downtime and disposal costs

Common applications:

• Industrial and chemical plant spill management
• Oil and fuel leak containment
• Laboratory and transport spill response
• Emergency spill kits for refinery operations

Attapulgite Clay as a Landfill Liner

Industrial facilities generate solid and semi-solid waste such as sludges, spent absorbents, filter cakes, and chemical residues. Attapulgite clay granules can be used as a natural liner to:

• Prevent leachate migration into soil and groundwater
• Stabilize landfill layers while maintaining porosity
• Reduce environmental risk from organic and inorganic wastes

The granular structure allows easy placement and compaction, maintaining long-term absorbent properties.

Diatomaceous Earth in Refinery Filtration

Diatomaceous earth is widely used as a filter aid in refineries for domestic and international clients. Its high porosity, large surface area, and chemical inertness make it ideal for:

• Removing fine suspended solids from process liquids
• Maintaining high filtration efficiency and flow rates
• Ensuring chemical stability of sensitive solutions

DE improves the clarity and purity of lithium-rich, chemical, or petrochemical process streams, enhancing downstream operations.

Advantages of Attapulgite Clay and DE

Compared to synthetic alternatives, these minerals offer:

• Natural and eco-friendly composition
• High liquid-holding and adsorption capacity
• Versatility for spills, filtration, and landfill lining
• Durability under temperature and mechanical stress
• Dual-purpose use for refinery operations
