99% of Oil from Leaking tanks remediated - Case study
Spills and leaks from domestic and commercial oil tanks are a very common occurrence, caused either by the refilling of tanks or as the result of leaks. Very often old metal tanks corrode and start leaking oil onto the ground around the tank. Also the tanks themselves become covered in dried hydrocarbons and become significantly discoloured, even black. Spilled oil can seep into the ground, ...

TerraTherm to Remediate Soils at the Beede Waste Oil Superfund Site - Case Study
The Beede Site is the former location of a state-licensed and regulated waste oil recycling and disposal facility. The nearly 41-acre Site is located in a residential area of Plaistow, New Hampshire (NH). Operations at the Site began in the 1920s, and continued until the state of NH ordered its closure in 1994. From the 1920s to 1994, thousands of NH residents and businesses were customers of the ...

Power of Oil Sludge Pyrolysis Treatment
Oil sludge pyrolysis plants utilize a thermochemical process known as pyrolysis to decompose oil sludge into three primary components: liquid hydrocarbons (pyrolysis oil), combustible gases (syngas), and solid residues (char). This process occurs in the absence of oxygen, preventing the combustion of hydrocarbons and minimizing the formation of harmful emissions. The first step in the oil sludge ...
