Man Oil Group AG
Man Oil Group AG provides a large-scale industrial complex treatment of oil-sludge and oil polluted soils with consequent bioremediation of waste.
In August 2012 STORM-15, a machinery complex, came to an intensive mode of operation on site at the Lisichansk Refinery (TNK-BP). The 7-week volume of processed oil sludge was equivalent to USD 1.2 million in terms of generated revenue in accordance with the contract. The machinery complex STORM-15 showed consistently high results in its daily work at the Lisichansk Refinery.
The project demonstrates industry record results in oil-sludge treatment and oil recovery. The machinery and solutions used for implementing the technology have been protected by patent applications. The practical implementation of Man Oil Group's technology significantly exceeds market expectations, and compared to world counterparts its performance confirms effectiveness of the company's approach.
An independent study of the STORM-15 technology process was conducted by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and Engineering Processing – ETH – (Zurich) by Professor Philipp Rudolf von Rohr. In the course of this study Professor von Rohr personally visited the production site and emphasized the highest levels of operational capabilities of STORM-15, its reliability and quality of oil recovery.
13 July 2011 Man Oil Group AG stock was listed on Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
