Three-Phase Centrifuge Waste Processing
WM designed a process using centrifugation to separate emulsions into three phases: water, oil, and solids.
Case Studies
Refinery Centrifuge and Coker Operations
Our centrifuge process created a dryer cake than previous technologies, allowing optimum secondary treatment of waste solids.
West Indies Process for Emulsified Offshore Crude
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.
Thermal Desorption Unit Projects
WM has extensive experience across the United States with thermal desoprtion unit (TDU) projects.
St. Croix Refinery Clean-Up
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.
Exploration & Production Oil Recovery Facilities
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.
Refinery Bio Sludge & Event Processing Facility
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.
Biological Retention Pond Dewatering
WM was contacted by a large poultry processing facility to dewater finished biological sludge from the plant’s wastewater treatment retention ponds.
Food Proteins Wastewater
A national poultry producer improves health, safety, and environmental standards while increasing plant profitability through sustainable management of complex sludge wastes.
