Waste Processing Services

Consult, Build & Operate

Our oil recovery and sludge dewatering processing technologies are designed to increase recovery yield and market value for your commodity streams.

 

Our industry-leading equipment and advanced turnkey dewatering technology make us a recognized leader in the industry.

Dredging & Dewatering

Our three-phase (solids; water; fats, oils and grease) decanter centrifuge processes complex sludge streams, from wastewater treatment biological sludge dewatering to recovering fats, oils and grease from routine or episodic plant operations.

 

Our technology and expertise can be deployed to help drive efficiency in the protein food supply chain.

Oil Recovery

Our oil recovery facilities are designed to reduce or eliminate oily waste streams, and in some cases provide our customers value for their oily waste material.

 

We cater to upstream, midstream and downstream customers and help provide a market for your crude oil tank bottoms.

Waste Water Treatment

Nothing is more critical than developing the right mechanical separation solution to maximize solids separation and volume reduction. You need the right technology and the right team to manage your waste processing needs and we're here to help.

Waste Processing Made Simpler

Consult, Build & Operate

An optimized separation process is crucial to achieving the best separation and resource recovery possible. Finding the right spin rates, feed rates and chemical dosages for your waste streams is key to optimizing your centrifugal separation process.

 

Our process design and engineering services help maximize your uptime, increase processing capacities, minimize waste volumes, reduce environmental footprint and give you peace of mind that your operations can continue uninterrupted.
