Beston delivered the BLJ-16 TDU solution and on-site support that directly answered the client’s needs around speed, durability, and compliance.

Rapid 42-Day Deployment:

Beston’s technical team completed the entire process from arrival to final commissioning in just 42 days, setting a new internal speed record and letting the client transition toward production well ahead of schedule.

Corrosion-Resistant, Reliable Build:

A corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel reactor paired with a high-efficiency screw feeder handles landing oil sludge and OBM stably, ensuring durable operation against tough, corrosive feedstock.

High-Precision On-Site Support:

Despite the tight schedule, Beston’s engineers proactively identified and resolved complex on-site technical hurdles—such as abnormal thermocouple readings linked to VFD frequency—delivering peak operational stability and safety.

Positive Outcomes

profile“The process installation was good. We hereby conclude that your Engineer Yann is a very good and hard working person. Many thanks for doing business with you.”

Record-Speed Operational Readiness: With installation and commissioning completed in just 42 days, the client transitioned toward production far ahead of schedule, starting to generate service-based income and immediate cash flow from compliant hazardous waste disposal.

Stable, Compliant Hazardous Waste Treatment: The BLJ-16 TDU now safely processes the mix of landing oil sludge and oil-based drill cuttings (OBM), helping local oilfields meet environmental requirements and turning hazardous oilfield waste into harmless, manageable output.

New Revenue from Resource Recovery: Beyond disposal, the project recovers high-quality pyrolysis oil from the sludge, which the client sells as industrial fuel—capturing significant market value from what was previously considered waste and opening a sustainable resource-recovery revenue stream.
