Technology explained: Secondary Manufacturing

The oil and gas industry generates a significant volume of secondary materials: residual sediments and solids, by-products, contaminated media and spent materials. They contain valuable resources that can be recovered and reused, such as entrained oil and hydrocarbons, or reclaimed by other industries, such as metals and inorganic media.

TTI has extensive experience in the management, transportation and processing of secondary materials, including the design and implementation of technologies that give petroleum refiners a range of options for their residuals and products.

Managed well, these residuals and recovered products become an additional revenue stream for the refinery. We believe recovering products and eliminating waste also gives refineries a more positive standing in the public eye.
