Aqua-Guard’s RotoX system was engineered to solve one of the toughest challenges in oil recovery—removing ultra heavy, weathered oil from inactive pits and separation ponds. Over time, exposure to the elements transforms oil mixtures into thick, semi-solid sludge, making traditional removal methods like excavation costly, inefficient, and often impossible at scale.

In response to this industry-wide issue, Aqua-Guard developed the RotoX after extensive on-site testing and refinement. This advanced system works hand-in-hand with Aqua-Guard’s RBS TRITON™ skimmers to break down solidified hydrocarbons into a slurry that can be efficiently pumped and processed.

Thanks to this innovation, oil companies can now reduce environmental impact and reclaim previously unrecoverable oil. The RotoX has seen successful deployments worldwide and has even been selected by the U.S. Coast Guard for Arctic testing, confirming its effectiveness in extreme environments.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Breaks Down Solid Oil Masses: Macerates hardened oils into slurry for effective recovery.

• Works with RBS TRITON™ Skimmers: Seamless integration with proven skimming technology.

• Ideal for Inactive Ponds and Pits: Targets weathered oil in long-idle separation ponds.

• Reduces Environmental Impact: Turns problematic waste into reusable oil resources.

• Field-Tested Globally: Deployed in multiple countries and Arctic conditions.

• Cost-Saving Alternative to Excavation: Eliminates the need for expensive and complex digging operations.
