SERVICES

Extensive services that protect marine ecology through a circular model of zero-waste.

HEC establishes Corporate Environmental Responsibility

Both at sea and in land, we at HEC follow a regenerative approach whereby waste is collected and treated lawfully, with the purpose of promoting its continual use.  Adhering to the principles of circular economy, we are committed at generating additional value from resources whilst reducing their overall use. Waste treatment and hydrocarbon recovery, constitute significant pillars of our business model, which aims at creating a close-loop system, whilst minimising the use of resource inputs and the creation of waste, marine pollution and carbon emissions.  Find out more about our services, and learn more about our innovative, patented platform for zero-waste procedures.

PORT RECEPTION FACILITIES

PORT RECEPTION FACILITIES

Our state-of-the-art integrated Green Port Reception Facilities respond proactively to all requirements and regulations of the MARPOL Convention (the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships), whilst creating a strong environmental shield for our seas. We provide an all-inclusive service package, which covers the whole cycle from waste collection and transportation, to the effective treatment and lawful disposal of hazardous waste originating from maritime activities. This is a 360° process that we keep improving to cover ports' environmental demands and our clients' needs.

Our focus is the design of a tailored waste management strategy for each port we operate. Then, our dedicated expert teams set up the Green Port Reception Facilities and operate them, according to the specification and characteristics of each port. We provide tangible solutions to achieve sustainability and protect the marine habitat and ecosystems, covering the needs of ports and shipping companies, whilst guaranteeing the optimal re-use of the resources collected.

RECOVERED OIL

We at HEC, advocate for the efficient use of natural resources. Operating under the principles of the circular economy, we pay special attention to the recovery of energy from waste.  Our treatment operations are underpinned by a sustainable approach whereby no new waste is generated, and energy is recovered optimally in the form of alternative fuels. 
Governed by the “Collection – Treatment – Recycle” framework, oil is recovered efficiently from the treated oily waste and is subsequently used as a commercial product. Once the treatment process is finalized, the end-product constitutes a high-quality standard oil product which is used primarily as an input to the production processes of oil companies and to the refining process of oil terminals and refineries. 

OILY SLUDGE

HEC aims at recovering the hydrocarbons from oil containing sludges in an environmentally sound manner, producing alternative carbon fuels ready for use by industrial units, refineries, smelters etc. thus promoting the notion of circular economy via hydrocarbon recycling and preserving the valuable finite resources. 
Similarly, alternative solid fuels and raw materials are also being produced through the treatment of oily sludges. In this way, these waste streams are prevented from contaminating the environment whilst at the same time a valuable mean of reducing the CO2 footprint of established industrial processes is provided.
