EARTH (Canada) Corporation has launched a revolution in oil/water separation technology with its new TORR System (Total Oil Remediation and Recovery System that separates free-floating and emulsified oils out of water. The process is continuous and outlet hydrocarbon concentrations are well below 5 ppm. Flow rates from 5 cubic meters per hour to 50 cubic meters per hour and higher are available. The TORR System incorporates EARTH's RPA thermo-set polymeric material backbone as the key component of this technology.
TORR is effective for removing and recovering hydrocarbon emulsions 2 microns and greater.
For polishing produced water from upstream oil and gas operations, TORR surpasses all existing technologies. Produced water can then be reinjected at very low hydrocarbon concentrations thus greatly reducing the frequency of costly workovers. Pumping horsepower is greatly reduced.
For industrial applications that use metal working fluids (MWF) or degreasing fluids, TORR can greatly extend the life of these fluids by effectively removing the tramp oil contamination.

TORR is an integral part of CN Rail's diesel contaminated groundwater remediation project in Sydney Nova Scotia.
TORR is an integral part of Talisman's hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater remediation project in northern Alberta.
TORR has been successfully installed at a Tier 1 auto parts supplier in Ontario to treat oily water condensates from compressor operations.
EARTH's RecovrOil mattresses are used by the City of Montreal's asphalt paving crews to contain hydrocarbons from entering the storm sewers during paving machine clean-up operations.
EARTH's Technology has saved Ontario Power Generation facility $thousands of dollars in waste removal costs.
Ontario Power Generation: Oily Water Treatment at the Pickering Nuclear Station; EARTH's technology as achieved the results required for filtering out oil, grease and other hydrocarbons in the waste water.

Rpa(r) (reusable Petroleum Absorbent)
RPA(R) (Reusable Petroleum Absorbent) is a unique thermoset polymeric material backbone. It is unique because: it does not require disposal; it allows recoverability of sorbed oil for further refining or secondary use; through centrifugation, it is probably the only truly reusable hydrocarbon adsorbent - reusable 100+ times. RPA(R) is hydrophobic, does not leach, is non-toxic and floats on water even when saturated. RPA(R) is available in particulate form or is encased as RecovrOil(R) products in polypropylene fabric in the form of pillows, socks and mattresses in accordance with customers' requirements. For oily water filtration applications, RPA(R) is available in Filtration Drums and TORR(TM) for continuous water treatment requirements.
During 1997 and following several months of intensive product research, one of the world's largest national oil companies, Petrobras in Brazil, purchased RPATM for water filtration of oil-contaminated water from off-shore drilling and spill clean-up. Last year, an industrial wastewater treatment company began to use RPATM for removal of oil & grease from their effluent water. At the present time, there are several Canadian, US and international companies testing RPA products on real life applications. These applications include the capture of leaking transformer oils and the prevention of their ultimate runoff into storm drains, the use of RPATM for the treatment of bilge water and the removal of oil from oil-in-water emulsions. This latter application is a far more complex task than that of absorbing free oils. Ongoing trials show that filtration with RPATM results in significant reductions in total oil & grease levels even where these oils are emulsified.
Last summer, the Ville de Montreal began to use RPATM-filled mattresses when cleaning their road-asphalting equipment with diesel oil thus 'helping overcome a local environmental problem by keeping city-spilled diesel fuel out of Montreal's sewer system'.
More recently, the Aeroport de Montreal used a system provided by EARTH for oily water filtration at their fire-fighting training centre at Mirabel.

Torr(tm) (total Oil Remediation And Recovery) Technology
TORR(TM) will remove and recover tramp oil and other non-soluble hydrocarbon contaminants from fluids. Hydrocarbon emulsions 2 microns and larger will be removed and recovered allowing extended life of Metal Working Fluids and Degreasing Fluids therfore saving on chemicals, de-ionized water and effluent disposal costs.

Torr(tm) (total Oil Remediation And Recovery) Technology.
TORR(TM) separates and recovers non-soluble hydrocarbon emulsions 2 microns and greater from produced waters. Treated water can reach non-detectible concentrations allowing O&P operational cost reductions for produced water reinjection. Costly workovers are greatly reduced. Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations are maximized and oil production is enhanced.
