Selected Projects

BP Oil Spill Cleanup

Approximately one month after the BP disaster in the Gulf, we were contacted on the basis of our expertise in the field of oil reclamation. Within a week we showed up on site with project drawings, and met with contractors.  Within a month, the project was operational, which included site and concrete work, semi-permanent installation of frac tanks and process piping, skid mounted centrifuges, and the support of on-site utilities such as steam, water, treatment lab and chemicals.  Two months later, the contracted amount of crude was treated and separated to clean crude, clean water, and solids.

Emission Control

This emission control unit is all-stainless-steel construction and is designed to remove H2S from sewer gas at a rate of 5000-cfm and sound levels of 60-db. The unit has redundant blowers, is transportable, and is designed to operate in a residential area. This system uses a proprietary media for H2S remediation. Other emission control systems include tank vent and odor control applications.

Controls and Automation

Controls and Automation is an ever advancing field. A well-designed control system will implement smart control algorithms to incorporate automatic decision-making where appropriate, as well as safety interlocks. The screen to the right is a part of a plant control, automation, and data-logging system.  It has multiple screens for different parts of the facility and different levels of details.  The information is displayed on multiple PCs at the facility, on field touch-screens, as well as remotely over the internet. The system is installed in a hazardous (explosion-proof) area.

Filtration, Separation, and Recovery

Filter media vessels designed for liquid flow. Granular medias are ranging from activated carbon, ion exchange resin, sand, greensand, anthracite, clays, and more, each designed for a specific remediation and filtration need. Used for either a mechanical filter, hydrocarbon adsorption, iron removal, water softening, or other exotic and specific contaminant removal. Working for and with leading corporations in this industry we have the know-how in design and fabrication of such vessels, and are familiar with competitive concepts. From a single vessel to an automated multiple-vessel system. We do not intend to compete with commodity vessel design and fabrication, but can assist you in specifying a system for your needs, designing of custom systems, commissioning and troubleshooting.

Used Oil Recycling

We have worked with a leading recycler to develop unique and customized solutions for a variety of used oil waste streams. From lube oil, to oily water, tank bottoms, oil filters, to contaminated dirt and more. We have worked with this industry for over 15 years. We have seen regulatory changes, new opportunities in the way of new streams, and the challenge of this business. We also understand the end-user needs of this industry.  From plant layout, process innovations, to facility management, regulatory compliance, training programs, troubleshooting, and maintenance programs.

Municipal Drinking Water

This municipal drinking water system project is installed on the West Coast. The system is treating local well water for traces of hydrocarbons and nitrates. It includes six pressure vessels for activated carbon treatment and six ion exchange treatment vessels, as well as piping, filtration, pumps and controls. Designed to meet extensive project specifications we worked for leading companies to design, specify, fabricate, and install the system and its components.

Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Our experience with wastewater treatment includes complete cradle to grave spectrum. From raw water pre-treatment, to flocculation, to separation technologies, polishing, sludge processing, air stripping, and related contaminated air treatment. The unique continuous cleaning gravity flow sandfilter in the picture has been in trouble-free service for eight years.

Plant and Process Retrofitting

"How can 'this' be better utilized?  "Can we use 'it' for something else?" This project is a retrofit of a portion of a facility that was de-commissioned for quite some time. The location was sensitive, near a river, which interfaced with Coast Guard and Army Corps. The tanks and equipment had to be inspected, repaired, pumps and piping replaced or modified to meet current needs, while re-using what could be re-used from the original installation.

New Facilities

Breaking new ground... From pilot operations, transfer stations, to full scale plant layouts. From concept to completion. Turnkey, or as a combined effort with your existing staff and contractors. Capability and flexibility is the key to mutual success. This picture is of a storage/staging station during initial construction.

Plant Expansions

Including:  conceptual design, real-estate utilization, environmental and regulatory considerations, layout and cost efficiencies.  The project depicted in the picture included site and foundation work, sub-grade environmental liner, containment dike, three 150,000 gallon storage tanks, access platforms, piping, valves, pumps, electrical and instrumentation.  The expansion was integrated to the existing systems in facility.
