Oil industry
Safe and responsible treatment of water from the oil industry .
The amount of hazardous waste associated with the oil industry presents many environmental challenges. New facilities are constantly being built for the reception and treatment of oily waste, and Nordisk Vannteknikk is a significant supplier of equipment and expertise.
Oil separators
Nordisk Vannteknikk supplies oil separators in a number of different models for use in garages, car washes, workshops or other smaller businesses where oil spills occur.
Oil treatment plant
Complete reception and treatment facility for oily masses.
Extraction and production
Platforms or production facilities require solutions on a different scale, and Nordisk Vannteknikk has the expertise to solve challenges both onshore and offshore.
Oil separator
All businesses that discharge oily wastewater need an oil separator. Examples of such businesses are car washes, lubrication/service halls, workshops and garages. There are a number of requirements associated with the installation of an oil separator. The requirements vary from municipality to state and country, so it may be a good idea to see which requirements apply to you on your government's website.
Our oil separators are made of polypropylene plastic making them light and easily maintainable, as well as having few moving parts and designed for longevity. Additionally, they are easy to install and require minimal maintainance. The oil separators come in a number of different variations and sizes, but we have two main categories: above ground oil separators, and underground oil separators.
Above ground
oil separators
The above ground oil separators are designed to be installed indoors on the floor. They are therefore light in weight and easy to handle, so they can be easily transported through doors and installed in places that are difficult to reach.
Underground oil separators
The underground oil separators are designed for installation belov the ground. They are therefore robust in design to withstand the pressure underground, but are also light in weight and easy to handle. The separators are also supplied with an adjustable service shaft for easy access for service and maintenance.
Oil treatment
Liquid oily waste, such as from oil separators or grit traps, have traditionally been disposed as dangerous waste at landfills. However, Nordisk Vannteknikk has developed a plant that has the ability to treat these masses and significantly reduce the amount of disposed landfill.
The plant separates both oil and sand before the water is purified. The water is also reused in the plant for flushing, and can also be reused for other purposes or safely discharged to the pyblic sewer system. The sand masses and sludge that are produced can also be reused for various purposes.
SBM facility
The fluid mass reception facility (SBM) in Drammen is the first of its kind in Norway. The facility is a prime example of how modern technology and innovative treatment solutions can help reduce the environmental footprint of the oil industry.
Extraction & Production
A number of environmental challenges are associated with the extraction and production of oil and gas, including the treatment of masses containing large amounts of oil pollution.
Solutions for a more sustainable oil industry .
As a result of oil and gas extraction, large amounts of water are generated on the platforms that must be separated from the oil masses before being transported to production facilities. Since the separated water is discharged directly into the sea, strict quality requirements are imposed, and Nordisk Vannteknikk has both the technology and expertise to solve these challenges.
As part of the green transition and the gradual shift to renewable energy, the decommissioning of oil platforms has become increasingly relevant. When demolishing oil platforms, large quantities of oil-contaminated masses must be treated. There are solid methods for cleaning such masses, and we always deliver solutions according to BAT (best available techniques).
