Oil sludge treatment
Management and recovery of petroleum sludge from industrial, mining and Oil & Gas activities.
At Green Business Africa (GBA SARL), we offer a complete and secure solution for the management and treatment of petroleum sludge from industrial, mining, and oil & gas activities. Our approach is based on controlled processes that reduce environmental impact while recovering valuable hydrocarbons.
Our objective is twofold: to clean up hazardous waste and to optimize the recovery of energy resources.
Mechanical collection and separation
The first step is to ensure the safe collection of petroleum sludge directly on site. We then proceed with a mechanical separation aimed at dissociating the different components:
- Hydrocarbons
- Contaminated water
- Solid residues
This phase helps to reduce the complexity of the mixture and to efficiently prepare the following processing steps.
Thermal treatment
The fractions still loaded with hydrocarbons undergo controlled heat treatment. This process allows us to:
- Decompose hydrocarbon residues
- Significantly reduce the volume of waste
- Facilitate the extraction of valuable substances
The heat treatment is carried out in strict compliance with environmental and safety standards.
Hydrocarbon recovery
The final step in the process is the recovery of valuable hydrocarbons. The extracted products may be:
- Reused in certain industrial processes
- Valued as a secondary energy source
- Or treated according to the applicable standards
This approach is part of a circular economy logic and aims to reduce the environmental footprint.
