In-Situ waste treatment processes are applicable to a wide range of waste:
Hydrocarbon mixtures / Water / Sediments from: sludge from APIs, cleaning of storage tanks and
settling ponds.
Sludge from Industrial and Municipal Water Treatment Plants.
Sludge deposited in water storage ponds.
Waste from filtration and centrifuge treatments.
Industrial Waste Water.
Spent cutting fluids.
Spent acid and basic solutions and chemical cleaning waste.
Objectives
To guarantee best practice in the management of the aforementioned waste.
Waste minimisation or elimination of the final waste sent to landfill.
Recovery / reuse of raw materials contained in the waste:
- Hydrocarbons in oil based
sludge.
- Water contained in biologic and oil based
sludge.
- Minimisation / elimination of the risks and
costs caused by the transport of waste.
Advantages
Installations tailored to the clients needs.
Flexible and versatile modular equipment.
Processes adapted to waste characteristics.
Economic saving with respect to external management.
Minimisation of transport risk.
Minimisation of noise and environmental impacts.
Maximum safety for operating the equipment.
Continuous improvements.
Centrifugation Plants
Centrifugation of sludge made up of mixtures of Water / Hydrocarbons / Solids, is a separation
physicochemical process that combines mechanical driven centrifugal force with the addition of
polymers and emulsion breakers.
Its application to hydrocarbons or biologic sludge allows:
Minimising final waste.
Recovery of Raw Materials (Water and Hydrocarbons).
Applications
Hydrocarbon sludge.
Biologic sludge.
Sludge from settling ponds.
Filtration Plants
Filtration is a dehydration minimisation process.
It applies to water containing sediments, to sludge and some liquid waste, which are pressure
pumped to a filter the mesh of which allows the water to go through and retains the solids.
Some filtration applications are:
Sludge from Municipal Waste Water Treatment Plants.
Sludge from Industrial Waste Water Treatment Plants. Sludge from settling ponds.
Water containing sediments from chemical and industrial cleaning.
Applications
Sludge from Urban and Industrial Treatment Plants.
Sludge from settling ponds.
Water containing sediments from Chemical Cleaning.
Mobile Filtration Plant
Thermal Desorption
Thermal Desorption is a continuous sludge dehydration process, undertaken in a closed circuit
and an inert atmosphere.
The result is a material similar to coke due to its heat value which can be used for Energy
recovery.
Applications
Sludge from hydrocarbon recovery.
Waste from filtration or centrifugation.
Sludge from Waste Water Treatment Plants.
Objectives
Waste reduction and minimisation or elimination of the final waste sent to landfill.
Recovery of raw materials (water or hydrocarbons) contained in sludge created by centrifugation
and the generation of a final valuable sub-product.
Reuse of the hydrocarbons and the recovered water and energy recovery of the desorbed
product.
Advantages
Greater recovery of water and raw material.
Minimisation of the final effluent.
Possibility of recovering energy from the desorbed product.
