History of ECOMUD™

2011

ASDR launches a research program to develop a technology for managing sludge and water generated by mining drilling activities. After several laboratory and field tests, the project is put on hold to better return later.

2019

Eldorado Gold Quebec wants to develop a drilling mud management project. ASDR is selected to build a pilot unit in collaboration with the mining company.

2020

The ECOMUD™ 1.0 activities are under construction. The tests last about 6 months and the results obtained allow to move on to the next step.

2021

ASDR presents ECOMUD™ 2.0, an improved and more powerful version, in a technological showcase. Interested customers can see the technology in action onsite.

2022

After proving itself in several operational contexts, ECOMUD™ is commercialized and meets the most stringent environmental standards.

Much like the rhinoceros in our logo, we love to play in mud.

And just like the rhinoceros, our units are built to be tough and rugged in order to consistently and efficiently operate in the harshest conditions.

Despite being around for millions of years, the rhinoceros is an endangered species. It underscores the importance of recognizing the fragility of the environements in which we live and work, and to continuously strive to improve the sustainability of our activities. It is for this same reason that the ECOMUD™ was developed.
