Petroleum Lagoons Treatment & Recovery

Petroleum Lagoons Treatment & Recovery

At NATREAT, we specialize in the treatment and recovery of petroleum lagoons (pits), providing innovative and environmentally responsible solutions to remediate hydrocarbon-contaminated waste. Our advanced separation and recovery technologies ensure the safe treatment of petroleum sludge, allowing for the recovery of valuable hydrocarbons while minimizing environmental impact.

Challenges of Petroleum Lagoons

Due to crude oil processing and production activities, oil sludge, emulsified waste, and chemical residues accumulate in open lagoons or pits, forming highly viscous and complex waste deposits. These accumulations pose serious environmental and operational challenges, including:

Groundwater and soil contamination from leaching hydrocarbons.
Loss of valuable hydrocarbons trapped in emulsified waste.
Regulatory non-compliance due to improper waste disposal.

Our Treatment & Recovery Process

1.Sludge Collection & Pre-Treatment

Sludge is collected using specialized pumping and excavation techniques, ensuring minimal environmental disturbance.
Pre-treatment is applied to break down solidified waste and improve fluidity for processing.

2.Separation & Oil Recovery

Using chemical demulsification, thermal treatment, and mechanical separation, we break the emulsion between oil and water.
High-value hydrocarbons are separated, recovered, and returned to the client for reuse.

3.Water Treatment & Disposal

The water phase is treated through oil-water separators, and filtration to meet discharge or reuse standards.

4.Solid Waste Processing & Disposal

Residual solids are treated using stabilization, solidification, or bioremediation to ensure safe disposal or reuse in land reclamation projects.
