Oily waste

The integrated solution for oily waste

Oil contaminated soil
Oil sludges
Oily waste
Oil from NORM waste after treatment
Oil & hydrocarbons
Water from NORM waste after treatment
Water
Cleaned solids

VacuDry® demonstrates the feasibility of treating such oily sludges through indirect heated vacuum distillation. This process enables the efficient separation of water and oil, resulting in a dry powder residue.Traditional oil recovery methods, applied to materials such as oily waste, Marpol sludges, and drill cuttings, often prove insufficient due to the heterogeneity of these substances. Incineration, a common alternative, is not a viable option as it contributes to environmental degradation through increased carbon emissions and reduced economic efficiency.

Our innovative process effectively extracts oil in product quality from these challenging waste streams, converting it into valuable resources while significantly reducing energy consumption and eliminating CO2 emissions.

Benefits of VacuDry® for Oily waste plants

  • High oil recovery rates: Achieve more than 99% oil recovery
  • Product-quality oil: Recover oil that meets stringent quality standards for reuse.
  • Turn key skid mounted mobile or stationary units
  • Reuse of condensed clean waste for re moistening of mineral solid output, if required
  • Optional: engineering service for mechanical pre treatment by centrifugation
  • Reduced environmental impact: Minimize waste disposal and zero CO2 emissions.
  • Cost-effective: Lower operational costs compared to other treatment methods.
  • VacuDry® system fully meets EN HSE standards
