Pecan Shell Uses in the Oil Industry

Pecan shells have been used in the oil industry for years and offer a variety of environmentally friendly uses. EcoPecan can supply pecan shells in a variety of particle sizes (coarse, medium, fine, pith, cofil/flour) depending on your needs. 

Improve circluation

Pecan shells that have been crushed are utilized in the oil well drilling industry as lost circulation materials. They play a critical role in creating and sustaining seals within fracture zones and act as an environmentally sound medium for managing lost circulation. EcoPecan has different particle sizes of the pecan shell such as coarse, medium or fine, available commonly used as lost circulation materials.

Cleaning equipment

Pecan shells can be used as an abrasive cleaning solution for a range of applications in larger particle sizes. It is particularly effective for cleaning chemical and refinery plant equipment, boiler tubes, oil field equipment, drilling rigs, storage tanks, compressors, and turbine compressor components. Pecan shells can be used for deflashing and deburring a variety of parts, including moldings, castings, and electronic and electrical components.

Water filtration

Pecan shells can also be used as a water filtration media due to their high carbon content. The high carbon content in pecan shells makes them an ideal material for removing heavy metals from water. When water passes through the pecan shell filtration media, the carbon in the shells attracts and adsorbs heavy metals, effectively removing them from the water. This makes pecan shell filtration media an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional water filtration methods that rely on chemical treatments.
