Advanced sludge treatment in the petrochemical industry 

The use of modern and innovative waste oil sludge treatment equipment allows large financial gains to be made on sludge treatment contracts when equipment purchase and operating costs are offset against the value of the recovered oil in the petrochemical or hydrocarbon field. 

These advantages are now well proven in the UK where all refinery crude oil storage tank cleaning projects now include a sludge treatment and oil recovery phase. The system has been used by BP, Texaco, Esso and Shell as well as many other companies at their refineries.

Typically, waste crude oil from lagoons and tanks can contain between 70% and 90% hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbon content in storage tanks is typically 90%.

We are looking for a co-development partner in the hydrocarbon industry. If you are interested in partnering in a development trial, please email us.
