SOLUTIONS FOR REFINERIES

Significant reduction of VOC and
CO₂ emissions

Adapts automatically and continuously to any type of slop

Operates continuously without manual supervision

REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

In recent years Oil & Gas companies are working hard to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimize their carbon footprint. Refineries have to comply with increasingly stringent emissions and wastewater regulations.

Surfcleaner technology helps refineries fulfill their needs for removing hydrocarbons from wastewater and produced water. Surfcleaner SCO 8000 and SCO 1000 units are commonly used to remove surface oil in API separators and stormwater basins. Both SCO 1000 and SCO 8000 are ATEX/EX certified for Zone 0.

Surfcleaner surface separators operate continuously, removing oil from water surfaces and preventing oil from accumulating on the water surface. Some refineries have installed Surfcleaners in covered API separators and have been able to reduce VOC emissions by as much as 95%!

CUSTOMER REFERENCE

Sonatrach Raffineria Italiana

Sonatrach refinery in Augusta on Sicily is one of the largest refineries in Italy. They use API basins to clean their oily wastewater from the plant and needed a solution to clean water containing contaminants

“Surfcleaners automatically adapt the inflow depending on the thickness of the oil – from light fractions to thick oil – Surfcleaners can work with every type of slop. We have been able to reduce our VOC emissions considerably, and we can re-refine the oil that is separated, a double goal achieved in terms of environmental sustainability.”
