Instruction on how to use Kepler® as a solidifying solution
Kepler® is a unique absorbent. The equation for Kepler® capability to absorb and capsulate is 1:1 by volume.
1 cubic feet of Kepler® will absorb and capsulate 7.5 gallons of liquid. That’s approximately 22 pounds of Kepler®.

When Kepler® is properly mixed with the waste it will turn into a material similar like granule sand; this means it is ready for transport. What makes Kepler® so unique and efficient is its ability to absorb and capsulate as quickly as it is introduced and mixed.
Even though invert and brine cuttings have the same moisture, after doing the field testing, Brine cuttings need a little bit more product to stabilize.
Kepler® must be mixed at correct ratio to be transported safely. Before transporting, ensure that there are no holes in truck beds or tailgates.
Please refer to table: 1 yard of Kepler® that’s (27 cubic feet) will absorb and capsulate 202.2 gallons of liquid. If you absorb 1 yard of liquid with 1 yard of Kepler® that’s (54 cubic feet) you will have 1.1 yards of waste when stabilization is done that’s (29.7 cubic feet) of waste to be removed.
Stabilization table for invert cuttings
| Yards | Moisture in cuttings | KEPLER | Time to Take affect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20% | 5.5 cubic feet = 114lb | As soon as mixed |
| 1 | 30% | 8 cubic feet = 175lb | As soon as mixed |
| 1 | 40% | 11 cubic feet = 240lb | As soon as mixed |
| 1 | 50% | 13.5 cubic feet = 297lb | As soon as mixed |
| 1 | 60% | 16 cubic feet = 352lb | As soon as mixed |
| 1 | 70% | 19 cubic feet = 418lb | As soon as mixed |
