Aqueous waste with biocides,corrosion inhibitors and lubricant oils

[msgv]

Hi,

The question is about the washing of 200 l. empty drums which have contained biocides, corrosion inhibitors and lubricant oils.

The location is in the dessert, with very high temperatures, so it's difficult to find a supplier which can work at these conditions. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

What exactly is your objective, spend minimum time on it or minimum money? In the first case, just send them to a qualified waste recycler (as far as qualified exists in that area) and buy new drums.

It's not an urgent need,the drums are stored, but we need to wash them before their disposal.
There is no qualified waste recycler in the area (it's in the North of Africa, far from the coast) so we have to buy the equipment for the decontamination of the drums and use it ourselves. The problem is that it has to be able to work at the high temperatures of the desert.

Don't do the work during the day. You can work at night.

Why don't you just pick up the drums and ship to a drum recycler?

Good idea, bimr, thanks for it.

I'm trying to find suppliers of the washing equipment, but at this time I've found just one.

So if any of you know any supplier for the washing of the drums (that are empty, and have contained biocides, corrosion inhibitors and lubricant oils), please tell me.

Thank you
