EPE offers two lines of services: Recovery and Treatment & Disposal, which can be designed according to a project, to best suit its needs, limitations and resources. All services comply with the relevant regulations.

Sludge Recovery & Treatment
EPE offers sludge recovery services combined with suitable treatment/disposal techniques. Mechanical and chemical separation technologies are utilized for effective recovery.
Chemical oxidation and enhanced bioremediation are used for the remaining non-recoverable material/solids.

Sludge Disposal with Thermal Treatment
Thermal treatment for oily sludge is used to support the disposal process when the in-flow of material is sufficiently steady and high in volume. This type of treatment is highly recommended when the output can be utilized for industrial or domestic purposes.

Soil Remediation
With a diverse technology portfolio, EPE is able to provide treatment solutions for contaminated sediments for a wide range of contaminants from petroleum hydrocarbons to chlorine compounds that are suitable for different types of climates, soil types, environments, and regulatory frameworks.

Soil & Groundwater Remediation
The unique nature of the electro-kinetic technology used by EPE enables the simultaneous effective treatment of polluted soil and contaminated groundwater. This capability enables us to offer more efficient and cost-effective solutions for clients.

Industrial In-situ Remediation
EPE offers a range of technology solutions such as electrokinetic treatment, chemical oxidation and enhanced bioremediation as in-situ remediation options. Our promise to our client is to provide a solution that has minimal effect on the client’s business operations. This enables us to significantly reduce the operating cost of the treatment and create significant savings for our client.
