Solids Control Services (SCS) specialises in the supply of high quality decanter-centrifuge based systems and associated contracting services, applicable to a broad spectrum of solids control and separation applications on a worldwide basis.
New and ever increasing environmental legislation increases the importance of employing efficient and reliable methods to meet waste reduction and minimisation targets.
Using SCS systems for the treatment of waste streams, whether from drilling operations or industrial processes, can render the constituents of those waste streams suitable for refuse, thereby reducing adverse environmental impact and the costs associated with waste disposal.
Solids Control Services - Company Profile
From its roots in the treatment and conditioning of drilling mud for the oil and gas industry in the North Sea, SCS now operates across both geographic and industrial borders.
25 Years Experience in the Solids Control and Separation Business
The 25 years in the oil and gas industry is complemented by 15 years experience in the treatment of industrial sludge's and effluent waste streams.

SCS Systems Applications - Processing Industrial Waste Streams
Primary objectives from the use of SCS decanter centrifuge based systems:
- To recycle/reuse the valuable constituents of industrial waste streams
- To substantially reduce the quantity of residual waste (solids) for ultimate disposal for:
- economic / commercial benefit
- environmental benefit
SCS decanter centrifuge based systems for waste processing are deployed over a range of industries:
- Oil and gas upstream (offshore and onshore) for drilling waste management projects
- Oil and gas downstream (refineries and tank farms)
- Port reception facilities
- Steel production
- Paint manufacturing
- Distilling
- Construction (tunnelling)
SCS decanter centrifuge based systems are deployed for the treatment of a variety of feedstocks:
- Crude oil sludge (ex tanks)
- Hydrocarbon contaminated sludge (ex tanks, pits, lagoons)
- Slop oil
- Marine oil and lubricant
- Bio-sludge
- Miscellaneous process industries' effluent streams
