Our Role
Our brief was to deliver a modular, transportable waste plant to incorporate the following features:
• Preliminary solids sieving
• Steam generation using recovered hydrocarbons as a support fuel
• Preliminary steam heating
• Flocculant addition
• Centrifuge separators (solid / liquid separation)
• Secondary steam heating (oil-water separation)
• Decanting tank
• Aqueous phase polishing stage
• Oil and water storage tanks
The design approach was supported by advice on the development of a sampling and testing programme, laboratory-scale pilot trial methodology and a Mass & Energy Balance analysis. Using our recommendations, our client prepared the tender contract to clean up the lagoons.
