Reclamation of Material From Crude Oil Storage Tanks at Refineries

Producer Key Takeaways:

  • It is up to the generator to make a determination as to what is a solid waste.
  • Based on guidance given by regulators, if the petroleum material is pumpable using standard industry removal practices, and contains residual oil recovery value, then it is not a waste and can be reclaimed offsite as an off-spec chemical product.
GOAL: Reduce the amount of high solid oils being disposed of as costly hazardous waste.
