Abstract: An ocean-going single-hulled barge with an isolated sunken or recessed area that supports storage vessels and mixing equipment capable of processing, storing and transporting hazardous materials. The recessed area includes dedicated drains which collect all associated hazardous spills and fluids for appropriate disposal and processing. The barge can also be adapted to hold a complete liquid mud plant within the recessed area.

Abstract: The present device is an apparatus and method for processing hazardous drain flows on an offshore work platform. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to the process by which these hazardous drain flows are collected, processed and then released on an offshore work platform. This process includes phases that make up a successful treatment process: (1) coalescing, (2) particulate separation, and (3) oil absorption and adsorption. The disclosed device is the first single processing plant to capture all 3 of these necessary sub-systems onto one skid and one device.
