Petrochemicals, Oil and Gas

Oil & Gas Industrial effluent has a wide variety of hazardous substances, chemicals, organic and inorganic compounds as well as radioactive substances.  

If this wastewater effluent is channeled into the urban wastewater systems, it can contaminate water resources. In order to purify the water, the Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA ®) can be used effectively. 

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), which consists of Pyrene, Phenanthrene, and Fluoranthene, are best known as water pollutants that are present in petrochemical effluents, they are also considered mutagenic and carcinogenic materials. They occur in water as a result of oil spills from crude oil. With the use of Expanded Clay Aggregate ( ECA ® ) using the sorption method, these pollutants can be removed.

Further, the Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA ®) has a high fractioning intensity, which is mainly used for oilfields as a down-hole proppant. The use of Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA ®) is to increase the output of oil and gas. Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA ®) is a sort of environmental and green protection product. ECA is considered to be an effective absorbent for heavy metals present in petrochemical effluents. ECA is of low cost compared to other absorbents available in the market. Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA ®) is a Non-Toxic & Eco-Friendly product that is 100% natural & odorless in nature. Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA ®) is also primarily used for Wastewater/Effluent treatment and for bedding and Insulation purpose
