Based in Sweden, Surfcleaner is the pioneer of the world’s first oil-water surface separator, designed to collect, separate, and discharge oil contamination from water surfaces. We are on a mission to make a positive, direct and sustainable impact on the environment. The scale of the challenge is colossal across the globe. However, Surfcleaner is mobilizing fast, rapidly expanding our distributor network across continents and forging new deals in multiple sectors worldwide.

Our unique, patented technology recovers contaminants from water surfaces including oil, diesel, petrol, and other pollutants. It has huge potential across energy and industrial sectors, including wastewater treatment plants, refineries, process industries, steel mills, tunneling, mining, recycling, waste management and broader infrastructure projects, as well as oil-spill clean-up and recovery projects across harbours, ports and coastlines.

For environmentally conscious operators, the benefits are threefold. While improving water quality by recovering a myriad of pollutants, it also boosts green credentials by reducing VOC emissions and carbon footprints. Thirdly, it neatly collects by-products including oil which can be re-used and resold contributing to the circular economy while generating new income streams.

Following recent high-profile deals with several customers around the world we can see a steep trajectory with strong order volumes in what promises to be our busiest year to date. Having already installed more than 110 units across the oil-water separation segment its roster of clients include the Swedish Coast Guard, Preem Refinery, Esso Refinery, Sonatrach Refinery, Exxon Mobil and Ports of Stockholm. Distributor partnerships in Europe, Middle East, South America and Asia are also part of a broader strategic expansion plan.

Led by an experienced team, Surfcleaner remains a passionate family-led firm, with Christina Lundbäck – daughter of the late inventor, Stig Lundbäck, MD – now at the helm. Driven by a desire to solve environmental problems, Christina is upholding the Lundbäck legacy as an outspoken advocate for sustainable industry. Aligning with global decarbonization and net-zero targets, Surfcleaner is also well positioned to help relieve future carbon tax burdens placed on industry – widely recognized as the most cost-effective mechanism to reduce emissions at the scale and speed necessary.

In the meantime, the technology remains at the ‘heart of global water treatment’ in more sense than one, as Stig’s innovative technology – coined DAPP (Dynamic Adaptive Piston Pump) – takes front and central stage, mimicking the pumping principles of the human heart.
