Reliable Waste Treatment Solutions for Oil Drilling and Refinery Operations

Reliable Waste Treatment Solutions for Oil Drilling and Refinery Operations

Oil exploration and refining activities—whether in desert drilling camps, refineries, or offshore FPSO platforms—generate complex and hazardous waste streams that demand controlled disposal. Managing oily waste such as contaminated rags, filter cartridges, residual oil barrels, drilling mud, and domestic refuse requires durable and mobile systems that meet strict environmental and safety requirements. The containerized explosion-proof incinerator from HICLOVER provides a complete, secure, and efficient solution for these environments.

Challenges in Oilfield Waste Disposal

Oilfield and refinery operations in regions such as the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia often operate in remote desert or coastal areas with limited waste collection infrastructure. Transporting hazardous waste offsite is costly and risky. Open burning is banned under most environmental laws. Therefore, on-site thermal destruction using purpose-built incinerators has become the standard for compliance and hygiene in energy-sector operations.

HICLOVER Containerized Explosion-Proof Incinerator

HICLOVER’s containerized incineration systems are engineered to operate in hazardous oil and gas environments, offering both diesel and natural gas combustion options. Each system is mounted inside a 20-foot or 40-foot ISO container, built with anti-corrosion coating and reinforced explosion-proof panels to withstand rough field conditions.

Core specifications:

• Primary Chamber: Heavy-duty refractory lining to handle oily waste and solids.

• Secondary Chamber: High-temperature oxidation (>1100°C) ensuring full combustion of hydrocarbons.

• Wet Scrubber Tower: Optional flue-gas treatment system to neutralize acid gases and capture particulates.

• PLC Automatic Control: Ensures precise temperature regulation and safe, unattended operation.

• Corrosion Protection: Stainless-steel exhaust sections for long service life in humid coastal zones or offshore air.

Application Across Oil and Gas Sectors

1. Desert Drilling Camps: In locations like Saudi Arabia or Oman, waste includes oily filters, PPE, and food waste from field workers. The HICLOVER unit’s self-contained structure allows direct deployment without civil works.

2. Refinery Zones: In Africa and Southeast Asia, refineries handle complex waste with mixed hydrocarbons. The dual-combustion system ensures safe destruction of volatile materials.

3. FPSO and Offshore Platforms: Onboard space is limited. The compact modular container is ideal for marine environments where corrosion resistance and safety are critical.

Sustainability and Compliance

HICLOVER’s system helps operators meet WHO, GB18484-2020, and local EPA emission standards, minimizing the carbon and pollution footprint of oil operations. The wet scrubber and quench system control SO₂, HCl, and dust emissions, ensuring cleaner flue gas before discharge.

Combined with proper waste segregation and heat recovery options, the incinerator supports ISO14001 environmental management goals and improves overall operational safety.

Integrated Waste Treatment for the Energy Industry

From Libya’s desert fields to Indonesia’s coastal refineries, the modular and transportable HICLOVER incineration line offers the most practical solution for hazardous waste reduction in oil and gas operations. It aligns with sustainability requirements while providing rugged reliability under extreme conditions.
