Experience
Below you will find a summary of select indirect thermal desorption projects completed by RLC Technologies.
Commissioned in the spring of 2009, this 54" diameter ATDU system was put into operation in a Petronor oil refinery located in norther Spain. The facility proceses refinery waste from a local centrifuge system as well as biological solids with a high moisture content. The RLCT plant has been in continual use and remains in use today, processing these waste streams. RLC Technologies provided on site support and training during the commissioning period of this equipment and continues to support the operation by providing technical knowledge as needed, and procuring spare parts for our customer.
Bilbao
RLC Technologies was contracted to supply an ATDU system for a hazardous material recycling facility located in East Chicago. The facility treats and recycles paint waste, resins, polymers, solvent soaked rags, oily wastes, and discarded commercial products. The RLCT plant has been in continual use and remains in use today, processing these waste streams. RLC Technologies continues to support the equipment by providing technical knowledge as needed, and procuring spare parts for our customer. Cleanup criteria was 1% (10,000 ppm)
East Chicago
Located near the port in Fujairah, this 42" ATDU system was put into operation in the eastern United Arab Emirates for the processing of tanker bottoms and marine waste.
Fujarirah
RLC Technologies contracted to manufacture equipment to process material derived from drilling operations in Habshan, UAE. The equipment was used to process drill cuttings. Project requirements per contract exert: The typical composition of the Waste cuttings or Sludge, is as follows: Solids Content: ±70% Volume/Volume Oil Content: ±25% Volume/Volume Water Content: ±5% Volume/ Volume The above mentioned Waste was treated to reduce the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH), as per EPA procedures SW846/8015B and 1664, to below an environmentally acceptable limit of 0.5% Weight/Weight and to satisfactorily dispose of or recycle all recovered solids, liquids and other material used in the performance of the Services in compliance with all applicable environmental laws, regulations.
Habshan
RLC Technologies contracted to manufacture equipment to process drill cuttings, crude oil and waste from the ’91 war. The RLCT plant has been in continual use and remains in use today, processing these waste streams. RLC Technologies continues to support the equipment by providing technical knowledge as needed, and procuring spare parts for our customer. Cleanup criteria was 1% (~10,000 mg/L)
Kuwait
RLC Technologies was contracted to supply an ATDU system for a hazardous material recycling facility located in Norco, Luisiana. The facility processes refinery waste from the Shell and Valero refineries, as well as outside sources. The RLCT plant has been in continual use and remains in use today, processing these waste streams. RLC Technologies continues to support the equipment by providing technical knowledge as needed, and procuring spare parts for our customer. Primary waste streams include: Petroleum Hydrocarbon Sludge Filter Cake Cleanup criteria is 1% (10,000 ppm)
New Orleans
Commissioned in the spring of 2008, this 66" diameter ATDU system was put into operation in an oil refinery located in southern Spain. The ATDU treats oily sludge waste received from a centrifugation unit as well as biological solids and TPH soils. The RLCT plant has been in continual use and remains in use today, processing these waste streams. RLC Technologies continues to support the equipment by providing technical knowledge as needed, and procuring spare parts for our customer. Cleanup criteria was 1% (10,000 ppm)
Puertollano
Commissioned for the Ruwais Central Environment Protection Facility (BeAAT) in the United Arab Emirates, this 54" ATDU system was put into operation in the fall of 2008. The equipment is used to process petroleum hydrocarbon sludge, filter clays and contaminated soils from the Takeer facility located in Ruwais, UAE. The RLCT plant has been in continual use and remains in use today, processing these waste streams. RLC Technologies provided on site support for the equipment and training for the operation of the Thermal Desorption System. RLC Technologies also provides ongoing support and spare parts for our customer.
Ruwais
This ATDU system was a World Bank funded project for the processing of drill cuttings and the remediatoin of crude oil contaminated sands and soils.
Saudi Arabia
Three separate ATDU systems were put into operation for the remediation of tanker bottom sludge and marine wastes. This operation is notabe for its succesful processing of heavy, long chain hydrocarbons.
