We recover the value trapped in your oily sludge

We separate refinery sludge into recoverable hydrocarbons and dry cake. No capital investment. No civil works. We operate, you recover value.

Tecionic mobile filter press for refineries

Benefits of eliminating sludge

Recover hydrocarbons

60-75% of sludge content can return to process as fuel.

Recover capacity

Eliminate tank accumulation and recover storage volume.

Reduce disposal

Up to 84% less hazardous waste volume to dispose.

Guaranteed compliance

Equipment certified for classified zones. Zero regulatory risk.

Your sludge costs millions. It should generate them.

Every ton of sludge you send to disposal contains valuable hydrocarbons. The traditional model discards them. We recover them.

Latin American refineries spend millions annually disposing of waste that contains recoverable value. It's buried money.

From fixed infrastructure to mobile

Refineries face the same dilemma: invest millions in their own equipment or pay expensive disposal. Tecionic changes that equation.

We bring the infrastructure ready to operate. You just provide the extraction point.

Aplicaciones

Refinery applications

Mobile technology applicable at multiple critical oily sludge generation points in petroleum refineries

Delayed Coker

Settling ponds with flows of 250-300 m³/hour generate high-density sludge with recoverable hydrocarbons

→ Continuous filtration, no shutdown

FCC Wet Gas Scrubber

Clarification plants (14.4 m³/h) accumulate fine solids in recirculation that require continuous purging

→ Optimized clarification

Tank cleaning

Crude and product tanks accumulate bottom sludge with high hydrocarbon content

→ Capacity recovery

Effluent treatment

Industrial treatment plants generate sludge with organic content requiring dewatering

→ 70-84% volume reduction

API and DAF separators

API and DAF systems accumulate floating fats and solids that become hazardous waste

→ Conversion to solid cake

Other applications

Desalters, process filters, equipment cleaning - any oily sludge generation point

→ Comprehensive solution

Our team works in parallel with your operation. No shutdowns, no interference, no surprises.

Specialized personnel

Certified operators with experience in refinery environments and classified zones.

24/7 monitoring

Continuous process supervision. We detect and resolve before it affects your operation.

Maintenance included

Preventive, corrective, spare parts. Everything is in our rate. Zero surprise costs.

Proven results

Technology validated at petroleum refinery

Certified laboratory tests on three sludge types. Real results, not promises.

84%
Phenolic plant sludge

Initial moisture 92.6% → final 53%. The highest reduction achieved.

77%
Phenol plant sludge

Initial moisture 90% → final 56%. Consistent recovery.

33%
Process sludge

Initial moisture 70% → final 56%. Even dense sludge improves.

What this means for your operation

35-84% less waste volume to dispose
Proportional reduction in transport costs
Recoverable filtrate for reuse
