Environmental Benefits:
A substantial amount of costly waste is diverted from the solid waste stream flow into a marketable, profitable product (Pheno Seal). Another benefit is the untold amount of pollution prevented by the cessation of drilling mud seepage into otherwise virgin soil matter. It is also conceivable that over time the cumulative effect of such pollution prevention will serve to guard both groundwater and surface waters against contamination by drilling mud seepage.
