Refining & Petrochemicals
Wastewater Treatment & Remediation for Refining & Petrochemical Operations
Refineries and petrochemical plants use large volumes of water in processing, cooling and production, which produces wastewater and oily sludges that are some of the hardest in industry to treat. API separator sludge, DAF float, tank bottoms and process sludges are often regulated as hazardous waste. Meanwhile, wastewater chemistry shifts with crude slates, feedstocks and process changes. ECOR provides on-site wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering, dredging and remediation services that help refining and petrochemical facilities reduce hazardous waste volumes, stay compliant and keep turnarounds on schedule.
Our team brings company-owned mobile equipment, round-the-clock staffing and hands-on experience with chemically impacted materials. We work on everything from planned turnarounds to emergency response.
