Ghana''s Port of Terma is boosting its recycling efforts with a compact micro-refining unit which regenerates oil waste into petroleum products.
Ecoslops has signed a fourth letter of intent for a Mini P2R. This agreement, signed with the company Marine Bunker Ltd. (MBL), relates to the implementation of a unit in Ghana’s Port of Terma.
“It covers comprehensive services including the sale of a Mini P2R, local integration, the training of operators and multi-year technical support. It comes in addition to a local installation set up by MBL to collect (on-shore and off-shore) and treat oily waste in Ghana and in Togo,” said Paris-based Ecoslops.
The Mini P2R will allow to locally revalue this waste, as well as used lube oil, into new oil products. By allowing a second life to these wastes - which are harmful to health and the environment -it will help to effectively combat the pollution associated to the illegal dumping of these residues in rivers and oceans, as well as toxic air emissions from their incineration in the absence of treatment.
Ecoslops signed an agreement with Aqua Flore, based at the Port of Agadir in Morocco, for the first industrial Mini-P2R unit at the beginning of 2020.
In June 2020, the company signed a letter of intent with Valtech Energie for a Mini-P2R unit to be installed in the Port of Kribi, in Cameroon. This development was alongside a new installation set up by Valtech locally to collect and treat oily waste in Cameroon.
