.

SAS is to provide Ondeo Industrial Solutions with a range of microemulsion cleaning product and support services for the Ineos (formerly BP and Innovene) petrochemical complex in Grangemouth, Scotland.

The 18-year contract covers the use of the microemulsion technology and method of application developed and patented by SAS for the treatment and remediation of refinery crude oil slop wastes and other hydrocarbon contaminated wastes from petrochemical processes and installations.

This technology in combination with the latest engineering and expertise available in waste processing from Ondeo Industrial Solutions will bring to the market a new method of waste treatment and minimisation.

It is hoped that the new strategic partnership will be able to greatly reduce the volume of hydrocarbon wastes produced from industry operations, recover the oil for recycling and clean water for disposal along with a small fraction of non-hazardous solid materials.
