The Brief
OPS Solution
The solids are picked up from the dewatering bed (including the gravel bed) and passed into the solids washing system. At Derby only 10% of the feedstock is hazardous therefore the OPS scrubbing technology was not inserted into the base wash plant. All final products are washed with water which has been cleaned through the OPS water treatment system.

The cleaned sand often had less than 200ppm TPH.
The Brief
OPS Solution
An independent Sales Engineer Goran Palmqvist who had a good relationship with the Swedish Governmental department took it upon himself to find a solution to clean the sand.
He found the predecessor to OPS and the rest is history. Goran has just retired after over 15 years of service with the group.

“… and the oil was turned into sand”


The plant design has come a long way since this time!
