Worldwide, 25 million tons of waste oil are generated each year. This equals a chain of tanker trucks strung together from the North Pole to the South Pole. Even in countries with an infrastructure for the disposal of waste oils, these valuable oils are usually simply used as substitute fuel instead of being returned to the material cycle.
From 1 liter of waste oil up to 0.9 liters of recycled oil
A problematic waste material becomes a valuable product
Up to 2,500 liters per day and module, scalable as requested
Over time, sludge accumulates in storage tanks for heating oil and diesel, which must be removed regularly and usually disposed of at a charge. With the WASTX-Oil, these oil fractions can be recycled, decentralized and highly profitable.
The WASTX Oil transforms sludge oil into a high-quality heavy oil and gasoil fraction that can be returned into the material cycle. Our technology offers port authorities, maritime organizations and tank as well as bunker cleaning companies an alternative to incinerating their shipping waste.
