Custom solutions for diverse waste disposal

Waste management solution in Guyana

Adaptability is essential here at Addfield in order to be able to provide the right range of solutions to all of our customers.

In most instances, you will find our machines not only used for one sector but commonly one very specific type of waste. Our agricultural machines are even optimised for the types of animal to be processed to ensure optimal results. We make sure to understand your needs so that you will always achieve the highest standard of incineration.

However, there are projects that require a much more flexible approach to disposal and in these instances, we need to work very closely with our customers to develop very special systems to deliver consistent results.

At Addfield, we place a strong emphasis on adaptability in order to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our machines are frequently used across multiple sectors and are even optimized for specific types of waste, such as animal processing in agriculture. Our goal is to thoroughly understand our customers' needs to ensure the highest standards of incineration.

In situations where more flexible waste disposal methods are required, we work closely with our customers to develop custom solutions that can deliver consistent results. By approaching each project with this level of customization, we are able to provide tailored solutions that meet the unique demands of each customer.

In 2020 we were approached to provide a solution for an oil processing site in Guyana for Lamor on behalf of oil and gas producer Exxon.

Lamor is one of the world leaders in delivering solutions that lead towards a cleaner environment for the future. In fact, their mission statement is simply ‘Let’s clean the world”. As such it was a genuine honour to have been awarded this project by them based in part due to our proven track record in delivering solutions that actually deliver on their promises.

Not our first installation for an oil production site however due to the scope of the project it required a completely different approach.

In 2020, Addfield was approached to provide a solution for an oil processing site in Guyana for Lamor on behalf of oil and gas producer, Exxon. Lamor is a renowned global leader in providing solutions that promote a cleaner environment for the future, and their mission of "Let's clean the world" aligned well with Addfield's commitment to delivering solutions that meet and exceed expectations. The opportunity to work with Lamor on this project was an honor, as it was based on Addfield's reputation for delivering successful and impactful solutions. Although this was not the first installation for an oil production site, the unique nature of this project demanded a custom approach.

Lamor was looking into the development of an integrated waste management facility. Designed predominantly for disposing of the mixed and generally hazardous wastes generated from land and offshore oil and gas generation.

The site has been designed to manage a very high output of waste per day. Averaging between 1 – 2 tonnes which, prior to the installation of this incinerator had previously been disposed of in several ways of varying degrees of environmental efficiency.

Incorporating waste oil incineration to be even more environmentally sustainable. In addition to traditional diesel-powered burners, the main burner housed on the rear door of the incinerator is a special duel fuel burner connected to both the diesel tank and a thermally insulated and heated waste oil burner to help repurpose some of the waste.

Beyond the standard features, this installation required more advanced loading options to enable near-continuous loading required to achieve such a high daily output. As such it came complete with our pneumatically powered ram loader and charger with bin tipper.

Lamor aimed to establish a comprehensive waste management facility, primarily to dispose of the mixed and hazardous waste produced from land and offshore oil and gas generation. The facility was designed to accommodate a large daily waste output, averaging between 1-2 tons, which prior to the implementation of the incinerator had been disposed of using various methods with varying levels of environmental impact.

The installation incorporated the incineration of waste oil to enhance environmental sustainability. In addition to conventional diesel burners, the main burner on the incinerator's rear door was a dual fuel burner connected to both the diesel tank and a thermally insulated and heated waste oil burner, allowing for the repurposing of some waste.

To meet the demands of high daily output, the installation featured advanced loading options, including a pneumatically powered ram loader and charger with a bin tipper.

When dealing with such a volatile range of waste products it is essential that all emissions are carefully monitored and adhered to. Even though the final installation is set to operate from a region without the strictest environmental regulations it was agreed that this project must still adhere to our shared belief regarding the environment and as such, it was agreed to ensure that the installation complied with US EPA and EU operating standards

In this instance, we provided an extra-large Venturi Wet Scrubber system to divert all of the flue gasses through an advanced cleaning system which strips the gasses clean and ensures that only safe clean gases are released back into the environment.

Ensuring compliance with environmental regulations is of utmost importance when handling a wide range of waste products. Despite operating in a region with less stringent regulations, the installation was designed to meet both US EPA and EU standards to align with our shared commitment to environmental sustainability. To achieve this, an oversized Venturi Wet Scrubber system was incorporated to thoroughly clean and purify the flue gases before releasing them back into the environment.

Beyond Simply Waste Oil Incineration

Due to its remote location and range of activities taking place there, it was required that we deliver a system capable of safely disposing of an incredible range of waste including.

Dry Filters

Wood

Punctured Aerosol / pressurized spray cans

Empty plastic Drums/IBC’s

Used lube oil/motor oil

Contaminated hydrocarbons (contaminated crude, diesel, etc.)

Oily Debris (rags, gloves, wood, vegetation, sorbent pads, paper, etc.)

Oily Filters and Oil Filter Sludge

Paint waste

Medical waste

Drum rinse

Pigging waste

Used drilling muds (NAF) not discharged with cuttings

Oil contaminated completion brines

Unused or contaminated solvents/chemicals

Glycol

Oil sludge/Tank bottom sludge

Contaminated drums, containers, packaging (metal or plastic)

Given the remote location and diverse range of operations at the site, a robust waste management system was necessary to safely dispose of a wide variety of waste materials, including dry filters, wood, punctured aerosol cans, empty plastic drums and intermediate bulk containers, used lubricating oil and motor oil, contaminated hydrocarbons, oily debris, oily filters and filter sludge, paint waste, medical waste, drum rinse, pigging waste, used drilling muds, oil-contaminated completion brines, unused or contaminated solvents and chemicals, glycol, oil sludge, and tank bottom sludge, and contaminated drums, containers, and packaging made of metal or plastic.

This is another example of the power of incineration in delivering solutions that are built not just to dispose of waste but to also protect the environment. Addfield is the world leader in incineration due to our commitment to delivering solutions to customers’ needs exactly allowing for advanced disposal for specialist disposal including this waste oil incinerator rather than simply providing a standard machine that would only be able to deliver basic results.
