Treatment of oil contaminated solids and wastewater

Treatment of solids: EGX

Technology
EGX Core Technology
The core of Ennox Technology is Hydrodynamic
Cavitation, which is the process of vaporization,
bubble generation and bubble implosion in water due
to rapid change in pressure.

In the extreme conditions in the cavitation reactor,

each collapsing bubble generates a microscopically
field of extreme temperature and a micro jet of a
shooting water. It is this energy Ennox harvest to
eliminate the bonds between oil and the solid
materials.

for easy hook up for onsite treatment.
Current Projects
Project Copenhagen
• Started April 2019
• Treat > 40.000 metric tons
• Duration: 12-16 months
• From 5.000 - 10.000 ppm
to below 100 ppm oil content
Project Copenhagen
Pilot test in Copenhagen, From April to July, 2019， results are very good.

• In the city of Xi’an, Shaanxi Province

• Production in Norway/China,
assembly in China for Chinese
market
• Sales, operations, service and
maintenance in China
• 1st unit in production, assembly and
in-house testing started June 2019
• 1st unit on-site trial for customer
scheduled October 2019
In-house testing in China

Testing and commissioning of EGX at the test-site in Xi’an Mixing of tank-sludge for in-house testing
In-house testing in China
• Oil content in before EGX: 60% • Oil content in before EGX: 4%

• Oil content in solids after EGX: 4% in Jul • Oil content in solids after EGX: 0.4% in Sep

• Our goal on-site test is to reduce the oil content in

solids after EGX: 1-2%, which meets the Chinese
emission standards.

Summary
The Ennox EGX
Game changing technology for treatment of oil-contaminated solids

Low OpEx: Turn remediation into a profitable venture

Reuse of oil, Energy requirement: Less than 10-30 kWh per ton
+

No heat required in process, No emissions, No chemicals

Minimal water consumption

Treat waste at source: Reduce transportation and logistics costs,

Minimize environmental foot print

+

Treatment of waste water:
EWTU
Ennox Water Treatment Unit (EWTU)

• A robust and effective water treatment solution

• Adopted into several applications with a small footprint
o slop water
o oily contaminated water
o suspended solids contaminated water
o contaminated MEG/glycol, etc.
EWTU Technology

• Based on the known and proven Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) technology；
• EWTU DAF tank is optimized to achieve higher throughput and cleaner discharge
with a minimum footprint；
• Easy to operate and hook up；
• Low need for maintenance；
• Utilizes selected environmentally friendly chemicals, which is a result of many years
of laboratory and field testing.
• Closed chemical system together with automated safety functions within the EWTU
enables a minimal operating risk.

• Power supply – 400VAC/32A 50Hz
• Operation- 1 operator per shift
EWTU Benefits
• Waste reduction on site, hence reduced cost of transportation and disposal
• Low chemical consumption and low power consumption enables low operating cost
• Semi-automated system which is easy to operate and reduces operating risk
