What is Considered Oily Wastewater?
Oily wastewater is water that has been contaminated with oil and other hydrocarbons. Oily wastewater is mainly caused by industrial processes, where water is used to lubricate and cool machinery. This leads to the accumulation of oil, grease, and other contaminants in the wastewater. It is a hazardous waste material that requires proper management and disposal.
What Is the Removal Process?
We use the highest quality equipment during the removal process and are equipped with a fleet of vehicles designed to safely transport petroleum waste. Upon arrival, our first step is to inspect the facility for safe removal operations. Once we’re satisfied that the storage container is in top shape, we can clear out everything using vacuums and then transport the waste to an approved disposal facility for recycling.
Why Is Maintenance Important?
Having your storage containers or tanks drained regularly is vital to preventing accidents and spills. When working with petroleum waste, companies have a duty to protect their workers, neighbors, and the environment from contamination. When introduced into groundwater, oil byproducts can cause a slew of problems for those living and working in the vicinity:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Headache
- Skin irritation
- Kidney damage
- Nervous system damage
- Coma
- Death
What Steps Can You Take To Prevent Problems?
While it’s possible to clean up hazardous waste, the best protection is prevention. You can prevent accidents with the following tips:
- Having regular inspections of equipment and containers
- Replacing parts that show wear
- Ensuring that all personnel have adequate training on the equipment used
