The VacuDry® technology offers a sustainable solution for the treatment of hazardous oil sludges generated by port reception facilities. The maritime industry produces significant quantities of MARPOL sludge, which typically requires complex waste management. The VacuDry® technology effectively recovers valuable resources from these complex sludges, enhancing product quality and promoting circular economy principles.
The MARPOL sludges are often pre-treated using centrifuges to remove excess water and oil. The resulting concentrated sludge is then processed through the VacuDry® system, enabling the recovery of additional oil distillate and the completion of a comprehensive recycling cycle.
Benefits of VacuDry®:
- Highest quality of recovered oil with recovery rate of >99% – ready to sell
- Low thermal energy consumption
- Low wear and tear
- Precise control of the recycling process
