A module for automatic scrap wire isolating and removal is used in systems such as wire insulation lines for extricating scrap wires while minimally interfering with the mechanized wire insulation process. The glass holder grip comprises an axially elongated rod, that forms the body of the grip, and holding means connected to the grip body for clutching the outer periphery of the optical glass and holding the glass generally parallel with the lower end portion of and adjacent to a stop bent outwardly from the body for supporting the glass. After fractionation, the waste stream is pressurized and transmitted to a remote injection well for injection either for disposal of the waste stream and preferably to urge hydrocarbons toward the producing well.
