KanAgg Recycling Provides Affordable, Tailored Recycling Solutions For Spent Abrasives

After blasting abrasives are used to remove corrosion and maintain oilfield equipment, it is necessary to properly manage the spent abrasives. At KanAgg Recycling, we specialize in recycling the spent abrasives used in oilfields across Louisiana and in Houston, Texas. Our expertise lies in collecting spent abrasives such as coal, garnet, crushed glass, and more for efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective disposal and reutilization of these materials.

Spent Abrasive Recycling for Oilfields

Abrasive blasting has a diverse range of applications in oilfields. It’s primary purpose is preparing surfaces and maintaining the oilfield equipment. This technique is vital for cleaning and maintaining oilfield assets such as machinery, pipelines, and storage tanks, removing dirt, scale, and other contaminants. Corrosion control is achieved through abrasive blasting, as it prepares surfaces for the application of protective coatings, extending the lifespan of equipment and ensuring structural integrity. Additionally, abrasive blasting is employed for pipeline maintenance, removing corrosion and preparing surfaces for protective coatings. Once the abrasives are spent, it is necessary to recycle the abrasives used to prevent environmental impact and conserve the abrasives for future use. We specialize in affordable and environmentally compliant recycling of spent abrasives used for ground storage tanks.

Environmental Compliance

We operate in Louisiana and Houston, Texas where adherence to environmental regulations is crucial. We ensure our recycling process minimizes the environmental impact of the spent abrasives and meets legal requirements. Spent abrasives may contain contaminants, coatings, or particles removed from surfaces, which could be classified as hazardous waste based on the substances present. KanAgg only contracts accredited and independent laboratories to test for hazardous materials. We also comply with environmental regulations regarding the handling, transportation, treatment, and disposal of spent abrasives.

At KanAgg Recycling, we pride ourselves on offering cost-effective and customized solutions for recycling spent abrasives from ground storage tanks. Utilizing industry-leading expertise, we efficiently separate, clean, and recycle spent abrasives, ensuring the highest quality standards and environmental compliance. Our approach emphasizes not only cost efficiency through our simplified billing process, but also personalized solutions that meet the unique requirements of each project. We strive to minimize abrasive waste while maximizing resource reuse.

How Our Recycling Program Works

Step 1

If not already obtained or not current (within 12 months), we help our customers acquire laboratory analysis of the spent abrasive. This is done to ensure environmental safety, recycling suitability, and establish the material as Class 2 Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste. KanAgg only contracts with accredited, independent laboratories.

KanAgg prides itself on simplicity and efficiency. We are able to provide our customers with fully turnkey, per ton pricing. This helps them more accurately plan for the expense and stay on budget with each project.

Step 2

Upon laboratory confirmation and establishment of Class 2 status, we’re ready to get started. Each customer receives a single invoice from KanAgg that accounts for all associated charges (recycling center, transportation costs, etc.). In order to ensure the highest levels of responsibility, KanAgg only utilizes state-approved recycling centers. Each invoice received is accompanied by a certified scale ticket.

Step 3

At no cost to the customer, KanAgg will generate and submit all necessary recycling notifications to the appropriate state agency (if required). This free service allows our customers to not get bogged down in the paperwork and to have total peace of mind!

There are no hidden fees, add-ons, or other extraneous charges, such as “drop charges,” “box rental,” “fuel surcharge,” etc. You’re only invoiced for each net ton recycled. It’s really as simple and straightforward as that! At no cost to the customer, KanAgg will generate and submit all necessary notifications. This allows our customers to not get bogged down in the paperwork and to have total peace of mind!
