Cavitation Hammer System
Oil pollution stops here
Page last modified
April 11 2024
Unique, low-cost greentech that exploits cavitation in water to treat large volumes of crude oil-contaminated sludge and recovering 99% of oil for recycling. Unlike thermal treatment processes, it does not generate any emissions and only water is used, no chemicals or solvents. Energy consumption is low, typically less than 5% of thermal treatment. Mobile and compact, approx. 10% size of thermal plant for the same throughput.
Pros & Limitations
1
In comparison to thermal treatments, just one of our greentech machines saves every hour, the equivalent emissions generated by an airline flight from London to New York
1
System can treat sludge with any level of crude oil contamination and any level of moisture content
1
99% of the crude oil in the sludge is recovered for recycling and unlike thermal treatment is not chemically altered by the process
1
Process water is recycled within the system and can use freshwater, seawater, produced water, brackish water or sewage treatment plant water
1
Excluding values for recovered oil, process is cheaper than thermal treatment
1
The process does no use any chemicals or solvents
1
The system is compact - around 10% of thermal plant size for same throughput
0
Unsuitable for treating complex oil formulations in drilling muds
0
Sludges with high clay content can slow system throughput
