The Solid Waste Facility at Marcus Hook is capable of handling all contaminated refinery wastes including: separator sludge, the residue which collects at the bottom of contaminated and non-contaminated API oil/water separators; leaded and unleaded tank bottoms, the oil/water emulsion which collects along with foreign matter at the bottom of petroleum storage tanks; spent clay, the filtering medium used to remove impurities from lubricating oils; (clay can contain up to 35% hydrocarbon oil); spent catalyst, the fine dust-like particles removed from process flue gas by air pollution control equipment; and various other oil contaminated sludges. The Solid Waste Facility performs two major tasks. One, the weight of the refinery waste sent to the Pennsylvania and New Jersey landfills is decreased by approximately one half, making the waste more suitable for handling and disposal at the approved landfill. Two, the recovery of oil by the Passavant pressure filter press is returned to the Sun slop system and reprocessed.
