We Design, Install & Maintain Advanced Thermal Processors based on your specific requirements
Drilling operations, both offshore and onshore, generate millions of tons of drilling waste contaminated with oil, chloride, and heavy metals. This waste cannot be discharged into the environment without treatment and must be managed properly.
Untreated drill cuttings can pose significant environmental risks and harm public health. Environmental agencies regulate the dumping of drill cuttings, both onshore and offshore. Most countries have banned the discharge of drilling waste containing more than 1% oil by weight.
At Turbo-3, we utilise an Advanced Thermal Processor (ATP), a technology developed by Rotawave Scotland Limited, to remove oil contamination from drill cuttings.
ATP is a continuous processing unit that utilises a combination of microwave and infrared heating systems to vaporise the water and oil content of drill cuttings in a highly efficient manner, with minimal processing time. This enables the treatment of drill cuttings for safe discharge into the environment without interrupting the drilling operation.
Custom ATP Solutions – Engineered for Safety and Precision
Our expert design engineers conduct thorough inspections of each rig to identify the safest and most effective location for installing your ATP unit. Every unit is custom-designed to meet your operational requirements and to fit seamlessly within the available space onboard.
Once the design is finalised and manufacturing is complete, our engineering team handles the full installation process to ensure optimal performance from day one.
To maintain reliability and safety, our operations engineers carry out scheduled maintenance and inspections of the ATP units throughout their lifecycle.
We also offer fully independent ATP units that can be installed off-rig on dedicated barges—an ideal solution when rig space is limited or remote deployment is required.
