TORRTM - The next generation of hydrocarbon extraction from water
EARTH (Canada) Corporation is commercializing a revolutionary developed in oil/water separation at the Global Petroleum Show TORR(TM) (Total Oil Remediation and Recovery) removes free-floating and emulsified oils in water without the need for heat or chemicals. No waste is created from this technology. Treated water can reach non-detectable hydrocarbon limits and the recovered oil is of low water content. The introduction of TORR(TM) is a significant breakthrough for water treatment solutions for SAGD, conventional oil and gas production water, environmental remediation, and any other applications where oily water is a concern.
