Altiras Offers a Solution for Slop Oil
The Problem
Refineries are facilities that process raw petroleum into useful products such as gasoline, diesel, and other fuels. When these refineries have to shut down, they often need to clear out any excess materials they have on hand. To do this, they may place multiple products into the same tank, which can result in a mixture of products that is difficult to sell or use.
In this case, Altiras bought 35,000 barrels of what is described as an “ugly, off-spec product” from a shutdown refinery. This product was high in organic chlorides, which can cause problems in refining or processing. Additionally, the product was not suitable for truck loading and there wasn’t equipment on site to process it.
This presented a challenge for Altiras, as we now had a product that was difficult to sell and use. We needed to find a way to dispose of it, process it further, or find a buyer who is willing to take it despite its limitations.
The Solution
Altiras provides a unique and environmentally-friendly solution for companies that have waste materials, including refineries. We pay the customer to recycle their waste materials, making it a mutually beneficial arrangement.
In addition to paying our clients for their waste materials, we clean the site to ensure that we leave it in a safe and environmentally-friendly condition. This helps our customers avoid any potential liability or environmental concerns that may arise from the presence of waste materials on their site.
Altiras also covers all transportation costs and processing expenses associated with the waste materials, further reducing the client’s costs and responsibilities. We have experience working with multiple refineries and their combined products, and can handle each client’s unique requirements.
Results
Overall, Altiras offers a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for customers who want to recycle their waste materials. We design our approach to make the recycling process as hassle-free as possible by taking care of all aspects of the process from transportation to site cleaning. If you’re looking for a solution to manage your waste, Altiras can help.
