Chemical Treatment

Solvent-water mixtures, spent catalysts, distillation residues, off-spec product. Chemical manufacturing produces waste that changes with every campaign — Magma treats it locally, from bulk liquids through to contaminated packaging.

The challenge

Every campaign leaves behind a different waste stream.

Chemical production waste rarely arrives twice in the same form. Solvent-water mixtures, acids and bases, mineral sludges spanning the solid-to-liquid range, distillation residues, spent catalysts and drummed off-spec product all need separate characterisation, separate handling and separate treatment routes.

Splitting that across multiple vendors multiplies paperwork and moves risk back onto the producer. Magma consolidates it: one licensed operator in Abu Dhabi, taking liquids, sludges and solids under a single contract, with recovery prioritised wherever the stream allows.

 

 

Across the planet
Where we come in

01 — PROCESS
Reaction & separation
Process water carrying solvents and salts, solvent-water mixtures, mineral and process sludges, spent catalysts from the reactor train.

 

02 — PURFICATION
Distillation & cleaning
Distillation residues, tar and bitumen fractions, cleaning and rinsing waters, spent acids and bases from vessel turnarounds.

03 — PACKING
Filling & warehousing
Contaminated packaging and materials, salts and minerals, and off-spec finished products requiring documented destruction.

Treatment Routes

Where your waste is treated

Both plants sit in Abu Dhabi and operate under one contract, so mixed consignments are characterised once and split internally.
 

One first facility is dedicated to the recycling, processing and safe disposal of hazardous waste - designed to treat liquid, sludge and solid waste generated by ADNOC and other industries across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
A one-of-a-kind plant specialising in the treatment, processing and disposal of waste containing radioactive elements - focused on naturally occurring sludge from ADNOC`s onshore and offshore drilling operations.

How we work with producers

From characterisation to certificate of disposal.

Characterisation

Sampling and analysis per campaign to confirm composition, compatibility and the correct treatment route.

Logistics

Bulk, IBC or drummed collection with segregation maintained, manifesting and compliant transport to plant.

Treatment

Recycling, processing or final disposal at BeAAT, with solvent and material recovery prioritised where viable.

Traceability

Documented chain of custody and disposal records for your HSE and regulatory reporting.
