Services
Wastewater 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.
Oily water treatment
This waste has Waste Substance Number 7030 and can be divided into different types:
• Oil emulsions, water slop (EWL 16 50 71)
• Oil emulsions (stable) (EWL 13 08 02)
• Oily waste (EWL 16 07 08)
• Tanker Bottom Water (EWL 13 04 00)
• Water slo (EWL 13 04 00)
This waste is not subject to ADR regulations.
Treatment of other hazardous waste
