Waste management in oil-intensive sectors

Waste management in oil-intensive sectors

Critical waste streams are generated daily in the automotive and industrial sectors: from waste oil to other oleaginous waste. These streams require more than just safe disposal: they require a strategic, circular and digital approach to waste management.

At Koeweit Oil Trading, we combine practical expertise with sustainable technology. We process petroleum residual streams in a way that not only complies with legislation, but also adds value to your sustainability policy. In this article, you will discover how modern waste management contributes to carbon reduction, compliance and continuity, including the role of smart sensors and our connection to the PURAGLOBE Group.

Sustainable waste management starts at the source

Waste management has long since ceased to be a balancing item within industrial processes. Dealing with oily waste streams increasingly determines the difference between reactive compliance and proactive building of a sustainable reputation.

In many companies, oil waste streams inevitably arise during maintenance or production. Consider:

  • Machines and vehicles emptied periodically
  • Coolant and brake fluid which are replaced due to wear or contamination.
  • Oil filters and parts that are soaked with oil and therefore act as hazardous waste moneys.
  • Floor cleaners, absorbents and cloths that fall under oily waste.

These residual streams must be carefully collected, transported, analyzed and processed. Therein lies our strength: we offer an integrated solution for all these streams, with maximum attention to the environment, regulations and efficiency.

Smart sensors and data-driven waste management

One of the latest developments within waste management of oily waste is the use of smart sensors. These technologies provide real-time insight into: the fill level of storage containers, timely signaling when an emptying is needed & monitoring waste volumes by location.

Benefits:

  • More efficient pickup routes, fewer transportation miles.
  • Lower costs and better planning.
  • Full traceability and reporting for audits or environmental certifications.
