Oil pollution stops here

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

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

System can treat sludge with any level of crude oil contamination and any level of moisture content

99% of the crude oil in the sludge is recovered for recycling and unlike thermal treatment is not chemically altered by the process

Process water is recycled within the system and can use freshwater, seawater, produced water, brackish water or sewage treatment plant water

Excluding values for recovered oil, process is cheaper than thermal treatment

The process does no use any chemicals or solvents

The system is compact - around 10% of thermal plant size for same throughput

Unsuitable for treating complex oil formulations in drilling muds

Sludges with high clay content can slow system throughput
