MX-1500 Process

The MX-1500 process accepts pumpable wastes via an in-line particle shredder. Wastes are heated to approximately 180 degrees F. in a mixing/heating tank. These liquids are subsequently metered into the SAREX MX-1500 Centrifuge System. Through 3-phase, chemically enhanced centrifugation, wastes are separated into 3 phases: oil, water, and solids. With a nominal throughput capacity of 16 tons per hour, it is designed to generate these following effluents and associated characteristics:

Recovered Oil

Less than 2% BS&W (Basic Sediment and Water) which is returned to commerce to act as an effective substitute for crude oil.

Recovered Water

Less than 50 mg/l TSS (Total Suspended Solids) and less than 50 mg/l TOG (Total Oil and Grease) which is recycled onsite. As an alternative, the water can be discharged, in accordance with the facilities permit, to the local POTW (Publicly Operated Treatment Works).

Dewatered Solids

Contain 40 % solids by weight, pass the EPA¹s Paint Filter Test, and is directed to the MX-2000 for further de-watering and de-oiling. Oil and water are directed to a separator and subsequently managed. Water is re-used on site or discharge to the local POTW (Publicly Operated Treatment Works).

MX-2000 Process

The MX-2000 system is utilized for the purpose of (1) further reducing the waste volume through water and light oil removal / recovery and (2) the removal of Benzene and subsequent de-characterization of the hazardous waste listing. The MX-2000 Low temperature Thermal Processor (MX-2000) is a natural gas fired, 6 million BTU/hr, thermal desorption system. The system utilizes non-contacting, hollow screw, indirect thermal treatment technology in order to heat wastes from ambient temperatures up to a maximum temperature of 600 degrees F. Through the use of indirect heat and an inert / non-oxidizing processing environment, wastes are heated so as to vaporize and subsequently condense the wastes¹ water and light oil fractions. With a nominal throughput capacity of 5 tons per hour, the system is designed to generate the effluents with the following effluents and associated characteristics:

Recovered Oil

Less than 2% BS&W (Basic Sediment and Water) which is returned to commerce to act as an effective substitute for crude oil.

Recovered Water

Less than 50 mg/l TSS (Total Suspended Solids) and less than 50 mg/l TOG (Total Oil and Grease) which is recycled onsite. As an alternative, the water can be discharged, in accordance with the facilities permit, to the local POTW (Publicly Operated Treatment Works).

Treated Solids

Contain 10% water by weight and non-detectable concentrations of BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl-benzene, and Xylene). Depending on the initial waste¹s source, the solids are either directed to MART¹s onsite direct fired thermal desorber or land disposed of in accordance with all applicable federal and state regulations.
