Oil Recovery Services

Crude Production and Refining

MST was specifically developed to treat crude oil emulsions wherever they are encountered. Emulsions are a universal problem in crude oil production around central treating facilities, in crude tanks and transport systems, and at specific wellheads and production sites. Learn more about Crude Production and Refining.

Biodiesel Production

MST can significantly impact on the feed flexibility, production capacity, and overall economics of biodiesel production. Learn more about MST Biodiesel Production.

Other IPRC Services

Oil Shale and Tar Sand Production and Refining

Microwave Separation Technology may have potential in these alternative energy areas where emulsions inhibit production - development work is required to evaluate opportunities.

Crude Oil Waste Remediation

Microwave Separation Technology has potential to reduce waste and enhance the performance of your equipment used to clean-up existing environmental hazards

Marine Waste Reduction

Microwave Separation Technology has potential for on-board or dockside bilge water treatment. MST can also benefit the treatment of ship and terminal tank heels to reduce environmental liabilities, recover usable product, and enhance utilization of existing assets.

Petrochemicals

Many petrochemical plants encounter emulsions similar to those found in refining, as well as unique and even harder to treat emulsions. MST has potential to enhance wastewater and tank farm performance, and may also find other site-specific applications.

IPRC Lab

IPRC maintains an emulsion testing facility at its Houston headquarters for bench-scale screening of commercial MST applications. Learn more about our laboratory and emulstions testing.
