Capabilities

Advanced technologies
for recycling and using waste to generate bio-gas energy.

1Waste Water treatment

The water is treated in a biological treatment plant, where bacteria ingest the hydrocarbons dissolved in the water. Air, heat and nutrients are feed into the bioreactor to establish the favorable environment for bacteria. Dead bacteria turn into sludge, which can be discarded.
2Oily Water Treatment

This waste has Waste Substance Number 7030 and can be divided into different types. This waste is not subject to ADR regulations.
3Hazardous waste
