Waste materials received for incineration and disposal on AVIAM site, prior to treatment are stored in well-ventilated covered roof 10-unit compartments in the Hazardous Waste Storage Area: AVIAM’s High Temperature Hazardous Waste Incinerator is designed based upon proven technology and has the following key features:
•    Operates at a temperature of approx. 12000C.
•    Unit has a capacity of approx 4,000 tons per year.
•    Capable of processing a wide variety of wastes ranging from general waste, hospital waste to highly halogenated chemical waste, such as crude sludge and waste chemicals.
•    Solid, pasteous and liquid waste streams can be processed simultaneously.
•    Is equipped with a wastewater treatment system resulting in a closed water system.
•    Large secondary chamber with long residence time ensuring complete burnout
•    Has a Destruction & Removal efficiency of 99.99%

The key feature of Aviam offshore incinerator lies in the unique design of the exhaust gas system which complies with the emission limits given in the EU Directive 94/67/FC on incineration of hazardous waste. The flue gas cleaning system ensures that the toxic components of the gas stream are removed prior to venting to the atmosphere; this is important to prevent the pollution of the environment and to human health.

AVIAM Currently has the capacity to clean offshore and inshore vessel tanks, as well as storage tanks using specialized equipment and trained personnel.

• AVIAM provides mobile automatic tank cleaning unit for offshore rigs as well as semi-automatic impact tank cleaning system for supply boats and production storage tanks, both of which operate with limited confined sace entries.
• Gas testing is done to determine the oxygen, carbon-dioxide levels, sulphur and other chemical contents inside tanks.
• Gas expulsion is also done throughout the operation using air compressor/ blowers.
• Fluid / vacuum pumping is carried out to ensure total removal of waste without handling or exposure by personnel and physical entry into the tanks.
• Pressure washing is also done using high-pressure water jet.
• Tank wiping is carried out only if the tank is satisfied Okay for entry, this can only be allowed when personnel have the necessary Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).

There are several benefits of using the AVIAM facilities which include:

• Technologies used by AVIAM can help to reduce and eliminate pollution of drilling activities using “BAT”.
• Offers Oil & Gas Companies a way to improve their environmental performance.
• Eliminates future environmental liability, reduces land requirements.
• Low waste technology.
• Saving resources.
• Provides for waste reduction, recovery and re-use.
• Minimize ecological risk associated with product.
• Cradle-to-grave management of wastes that ensures full audit trail that fulfils the “Duty of Care” code.
