Case Studies

WM designed a process using centrifugation to separate emulsions into three phases: water, oil, and solids.

Our centrifuge process created a dryer cake than previous technologies, allowing optimum secondary treatment of waste solids.

Our team created a process to break an emulsion in offshore crude oil production in the West Indies, but location required a compact design for shipping so the unit was skid mounted to fit in a shipping container.

WM has extensive experience across the United States with thermal desoprtion unit (TDU) projects. 

We were called on to perform a refinery shut down and clean-up and utilized both two-phase and three-phase centrifuge units to dewater and recover oil from multiple tank cleaning operations.

WM has designed, built and operated several processing facilities for Exploration & Production (E&P) waste streams and our team works with each client to tailor a solution based on the unique needs and desired outcomes.

Our team was the first to successfully process this Texas City refinery's “river-mud” stream. Additional, we assisted with event work including a complex and ever-changing sludge stream from a large wastewater tank cleanout.

WM was contacted by a large poultry processing facility to dewater finished biological sludge from the plant’s wastewater treatment retention ponds.

A national poultry producer improves health, safety, and environmental standards while increasing plant profitability through sustainable management of complex sludge wastes.
