Electrocoagulation Unit to Clean and Recover Petromax for Recycling

Important note: The 500 bbl mix tank provides a homogenous mix with proper water to solids ratio prior to the decanter for maximum separation to achieve clean solids. It may also provide an opportunity to blend or heat (using heater coils within the mix tank) heavier than water crude for proper oil/water separation. Polymers may not be necessary when utilizing such a Petromax system.

• Petromax product is water-based environmentally safe, biodegradable, non-toxic formulation that is designed to remove hydrocarbons and contaminants from solids while not allowing them to re-attach while in an aqueous homogenous phase.

• Petromax applications minimize material handling throughout the sludge mobilization and oil

recovery process.

• Petromax applications inherently provide a cleaner and more liquid free cake in a 3-phase separation process.

• This process is designed to pull off and recover the majority of the oil prior to the

decanter.
