v. Waste transportation & Disposal
For an organization founded on its commitment to HSE principles, the safe transportation and disposal of wastes are at the heart of what Zigma stands for.
We employ advanced transport technologies to collect and safely transport waste. Where we can, we seek to reuse flowback wastes
and water produced as a result of drilling or fracturing. Where that isn’t possible, we dispose of all wastes responsibly, ensuring we use only licensed disposal sites where regular integrity and containment testing is carried out.
vi. Tank Cleaning
We believe there’s more to tank cleaning than a clean tank. Zigma’s tank cleaning service creates operational efficiency and production optimization. Yet it also delivers a positive environmental impact too.
The sludge and pollutants that line your tanks need clearing if production is to be protected. But traditional cleaning techniques have benefited the tank whilst damaging the environment.
Zigma tank cleaning uses advanced chemical, thermal and physical techniques to break down tank contents, enabling us to separate more of the contaminants and manage harmful waste more effectively.
It’s a process that makes tank cleaning less damaging, so it protects your reputation as well as your production.
