Waste Oil Processing
Transforming hazardous oil sludge into value through advanced continuous pyrolysis technology with energy self-sufficiency and EU-standard emissions control
The Challenge
Refineries, terminals, and drilling operations generate persistent volumes of tank bottoms, oily sludge, and drilling mud daily. Millions in recoverable hydrocarbons are lost annually, while disposal restrictions, high costs, and carbon penalties create operational burdens. Traditional disposal methods face strict environmental compliance bans and significant OPEX without resource recovery.
Secorra's Solution
We deploy fully managed advanced thermal desorption units utilizing industry-leading industrial continuous pyrolysis systems. Our solution transforms hazardous waste liabilities into profitable energy assets through a circular economy model, processing 30-35 tons per day with 24/7 automated operation.
Value-Added Outputs
Fuel Oil
Sold to industry as recovered energy product
Syngas
Recycled for self-heating energy, cutting OPEX
Solid Residue
Used in construction material or brick-making
How It Works: 6-Stage Continuous Process
Pretreatment & Feeding
Optimized feeding via belt, screw, or pump based on moisture content
Thermal Desorption
Microaerobic heating breaks long-chain hydrocarbons into small molecular gas/oil
Exhaust Treatment
Multi-stage treatment meets strict EU emission standards
Condensation System
Condensable gas cools into fuel oil; non-condensables separated as syngas
Syngas Recovery
Purified syngas recycled to heat reactor, cutting external fuel costs by ~30%
Solid Discharge
Auto-discharge of dry solid residues for construction or brick-making
Optional: Oil distillation unit available to upgrade fuel oil into non-standard diesel
