About S3S
Turn drilling fluid, slurry, and sludge back into water and dry solids.
The work
Equipment, crew, and
engineering on your site.
S3S separates liquids from solids. We take on drilling fluid, construction slurry, dredged sediment, and industrial or municipal sludge, and return reusable water or base fluid plus dry, stackable solids. We bring our own equipment, our own crew, and our own engineering to your site, and one team owns the whole job.

Leadership team
A leadership team that has run the work.
This team has run solids control, energy, and environmental work together for years. When S3S acquired the assets of BOS Solutions in 2020, the Northern Region team joined intact and the footprint grew to five locations: Houston, Midland, Calgary, Smithfield, and Mandan. The standard stayed the same: build a better answer, prove it in the field, and stand behind the people who run it.

Core values
How the work gets done.
S3S culture is built to carry from the office into job sites. The same values guide safety training, engineering decisions, customer communication, and the way crews support one another in the field.
Safety
Every machine runs with vibration sensors and remote monitoring. If a unit drifts out of spec, our crews shut it down and swap it. We will not run equipment past the point it is safe to run.
Innovation
Our in-house engineering team builds equipment for the job in front of us. When a project needs something that does not exist yet, we design, fabricate, and field it, sometimes a one-of-a-kind system.
Integrity
We are not the cheapest line item, and we do not pretend to be. We show customers the samples, the data, and the real project math, then tell them straight what we can and cannot do.
Teamwork
Field technicians, supervisors, engineers, and customer teams work the same job together. Our crews stay steady, so the person who sells the work is often the person who runs it.
Where S3S invests
People, engineering, and ten thousand samples.
S3S invests in its people, runs an in-house engineering group that builds what a job needs, and holds a sample history that backs every recommendation.
Company culture
Attention to detail runs from the owner down, on every job and in every vertical. S3S invests in its people, so customers work with familiar, experienced crews instead of a revolving door.
In-house engineering
Most competitors sell what is on the shelf. S3S designs and fabricates equipment to fit the job, including one-of-a-kind systems built, tested, and put on site in two to three months.
Lab and data
S3S has analyzed more than 10,000 fluid samples over the years. That history lets the team make solid recommendations for a specific program from the first conversation.
Work with S3S
Put this team on your job.
Describe the fluid, the volume, and the site conditions. S3S will scope the equipment, the crew, and the engineering to run the job and prove the result.
