Just as the State of Texas is a pioneer in the use of recycled tires in road resurfacing, Inland is a pioneer in recycling contaminated soil and drilling mud waste into an environmentally safe cement-stabilized road base. On August 16, 2002, Inland received a permit characterizing our road base mix as non-hazardous oil and gas recycled product. Inland is the first company in Texas granted a permit to convert oil and gas non-hazardous wastes into a safe road base product.Pioneering Texas county commissioners have embraced the use of this product as a base to repave county roads. Commercial contractors and private landowners save material and installation costs by utilizing Inland’s road base to stabilize roads on ranches and farms.Recycling oilfield waste into a usable product meeting industrial and regulatory standards for a commercial product will benefit the oil and gas exploration and productions industry by providing an alternative method of non-hazardous waste management that does not have the pollution potential associated with waste burial, landfarming, or subsurface injection. Material contractors and government agencies will benefit from a local source of quality, cost effective, road base material. Environmental regulators will benefit from a positive alternative to waste management that will not endanger surface water, groundwater, natural flora and fauna, or create land pollution.Constant sampling, laboratory analysis, engineering testing, and waste tracking, under procedures monitored by the Texas Railroad Commission, prove the efficacy of Inland’s cold batch mix design, and assure our clients that their waste has been recycled in compliance with EPA regulations under the Code of Federal Regulations.

Texas A&M Research

To develop and maintain credibility with drilling operators, environmental regulators and product end users, Inland established a technology partnership with Texas A&M University and Global Petroleum Research Institute. The GPRI Department of Petroleum Engineering evaluates the product’s physical properties, potential environmental impacts, and application suitability.Inland Environmental & Remediation is an Oil & Gas waste recycling company in Columbus, Texas.

RECYCLING SERVICES

• OIL & GAS WASTE
• SALTWATER DISPOSAL
• DRILLING WASTE
• TANK BOTTOMS

We recycle all your waste (with the exception of norm), solid and liquid, for less than traditional landfill/land farm solutions. We turn the oil & gas waste into road base that you can use to build roads and pads for less than you pay now for standard aggregate construction materials. By dropping off waste and picking up recycled drilling fluids and road base, you literally cut your transportation costs in half. With landfills or land farms, you are liable for that waste forever, which means unending liability insurance payments. By recycling with Inland, your liability disappears as soon as we recycle it and it becomes used for its intended purpose as a road base product. This can result in significantly reduced insurance costs.

FACILITY SERVICES

Inland provides a washout facility which is capable of handling dump trucks, vacuum trucks, frac tanks and open-top rig tanks. Open 24/7/365, the wash rack is the final step in our one-stop disposal service. After offloading waste for recycling or disposal, your driver simply drives across the yard to the tire wash rack pad and is soon on the road again.
