Petroleum Drum Cleaning and Recycling Facility Optimizes Oil Recovery, Realizing Rapid Investment Return with SAMCO Treatment Solution

Treat wastewater streams from petroleum oil drum cleaning operations to meet stringent discharge limits and recover valuable waste oil for resale - SAMCO engineered a turnkey 50 GPM WWTS for integration into a new petroleum oil drum recycling line at the client facility. Designed to optimize recovery of oil from wastewater streams, the WWTS included a pre-rinse washer station with oil-water separation (OWS) technology for efficient segregation of waste streams prior to treatment and discharge. In achieving recycle/reuse rates of up to 70%, and reducing chemical feeds, the solution yielded rapid, single-year payback. To ensure lasting durability, the OWS and washer stations featured corrosion-resistant SAE 304 stainless steel construction.
