Environmental requirements and process improvements. The environmental requirements are continuously improved. Not only are the rules for discharging waste water increasingly strict, but the rules are also applied wider, both in geographical spread as in application spread. Nowadays there are strict rules for the oil content in waste water discharges. Hydro-Carbon Filtration & Separation offers customised solutions for the removal of oil from water, not only for waste water applications, but also for process applications. The treatment of waste water requires usually the removal of free and emulsified oils to levels in the ppm range.

Hydro-Carbon Filtration & Separation offers cost-effective systems for waste water treatment. Our gravity separators (with minimal operating cost) and adsorption systems are widely used for waste water treatment.

Cost reduction in processes can be achieved by enlarging the life time of process fluids by removing unwanted contamination from the fluids. Often the cost reduction includes reduced disposal cost and savings on labour due to the reduction of the number of changes. Additionally the process is often improved since the average quality of the process fluids is better than before. Processes suitable for improvement include - but are not limited to - life time improvement of drilling liquids and degreasing liquids.
