Oil industry
Safe and responsible handling 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 both complete 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 municipality, so it may be a good idea to see which requirements apply to you on your municipality's website.
Our oil separators are made of polypropylene, have few moving parts and therefore have a long service life and are light and maintainable. In addition, they are easy to install. The oil separators we supply come in a number of different variations and sizes, but we have two main categories: mobile oil separators, and buried oil separators.
Submersible oil separators
The submersible oil separators are designed for underground installation. They are therefore robust in design to withstand the loads 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 masses, such as from oil separators or grit traps, have traditionally been handled by being sent to a landfill. However, Nordisk Vannteknikk has developed a plant that has the ability to treat these masses and significantly reduce the amount that is landfilled.
The plant separates both oil and sand before the water is cleaned. The water is also reused in the plant as flushing water, and can also be reused for other purposes, or safely discharged to municipal wastewater. The sand masses and sludge that are produced can also be reused for various purposes.
Lindum OBA
Lindum OBA is the first oil treatment plant of its kind in Norway. The plant is located at the Lindum recycling station in Drammen and is a prime example of how modern technology and innovative cleaning solutions can contribute to reducing the climate footprint of the oil industry.
Extraction & Production
A number of environmental challenges are associated with the extraction and production of oil and gas, including handling 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.
In connection with the green shift and a gradual transition to renewable energy sources, the demolition of oil platforms has become more relevant. When demolishing oil platforms, large quantities of oil-contaminated masses are generated that must be treated. There are good methods for cleaning such masses, and we always deliver solutions according to BAT (best available techniques).
