Beston BLJ-16 TDU for Oil-Based Mud Harmless Treatment Benchmark Project in Libya
Customer Background
The client is a waste treatment subsidiary under a major group company based in Tripoli, Libya, operating under the Government of National Unity. The company is committed to establishing high-standard hazardous waste treatment capabilities and positioning itself as a market leader in the country’s emerging TDU sector.
Challenges Faced by Client
Low Resource Recovery from Traditional OBM Treatment
The client previously relied on landfill disposal and centrifuge solid-liquid separation methods. While these methods removed part of the liquid phase, they failed to efficiently recover valuable oil from OBM waste.
Increasing Environmental & Regulatory Pressure
With expanding oil drilling activities in Libya, the volume of OBM waste continues to grow. Traditional disposal methods face higher environmental scrutiny and potential regulatory risk.
Pressure to Achieve Fast Investment Return
The project had to generate revenue through oil recovery while building market influence — positioning the company as Libya’s leading TDU waste treatment provider.
Beston Customized OBM Thermal Desorption Solution
Beston Group delivered a tailored BLJ-16 TDU system designed specifically for Libya’s OBM waste treatment requirements, addressing both technical challenges and investment return expectations.
High Processing Capacity:
The BLJ-16 TDU system provides continuous and stable processing of OBM waste, ensuring efficient oil recovery and consistent throughput.
Enhanced Safety Configuration:
The integrated nitrogen inert protection system reduces oxygen concentration inside the reactor, ensuring safe thermal desorption under high-temperature conditions.
Comprehensive Technical Support:
Beston provides full-process technical support including equipment layout design, system integration guidance, and commissioning assistance to ensure smooth project implementation.
Positive Outcomes
The system operates safely and efficiently. Oil recovery performance exceeded expectations, and the technical support was highly professional.Closed-Loop Resource Recovery Achieved: After commissioning, the BLJ-16 TDU system successfully processes OBM waste through thermal desorption, enabling effective oil recovery and compliant solid residue handling.
Environmental & Safety Compliance Secured: The integration of nitrogen inert protection and emission control systems ensures stable and compliant operation under high-temperature processing conditions.
Strong Economic & Strategic Impact: The project serves as a strategic entry point into Libya’s emerging TDU market, positioning the client as a technology leader and early market mover.
