Industrial effluent

Our client, a major player in the production and supply of electricity in Newfoundland and Labrador (Canada), handles the generation and distribution of 80 % of the energy consumed in the province.

Our client, a major Spanish oil company asked CTP ambiente to clean the refinery’s rainwater tank. As the estimated volume of sludge was around 4000 m³ (5235 yd³), the operation involved providing a solution that minimized the volume of sludge to be disposed of, thereby reducing costs.

Our client, a major player in the refining industry, asked CTP environnement to clear out the final tank located close to their plant. The discharged effluent had created a build-up of sludge at the bottom of the tank of around 120 m³ (157 yd³) with 35 % dryness (estimate for an area of 200 m² /2153 ft²). After draining and treating the supernatant water, the sludge accumulated at the bottom of the tank needed to be cleared and dewatered.

A refinery in south-east Asia suffered torrential rain during the monsoon season. A Remote Impounding Basin (RIB) is used to handle the stormwater runoff, prevent flooding and pollution of the nearby environment.
The refinery issued a call for tenders, in order to find a company able to further treat this contaminated rainwater stored in the RIB in line with the applicable discharge standards.
