Regulatory Compliance

Meeting and Exceeding Global Environmental Standards

At Turbo-3, regulatory compliance is at the core of everything we do. As a global provider of advanced microwave treatment technology for drilling waste, we ensure that our systems and operations align with the most rigorous environmental standards worldwide.

Our patented microwave technology is engineered to meet — and often exceed — the environmental and safety benchmarks set by leading regulatory bodies. Whether operating in offshore or onshore environments, we work closely with local and international agencies to support responsible, transparent, and compliant waste treatment practices.

Our Global Compliance Framework

Our operations comply with U.S. environmental regulations, including:

• EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) guidelines for waste treatment and discharge

• RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) standards for handling and disposal of hazardous/non-hazardous waste

• Offshore regulatory frameworks from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE)

In Europe, we align with:

• EU Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC) for sustainable waste management

• REACH and CLP Regulations concerning chemical substances

• Best Available Techniques (BAT) for industrial waste recovery and reuse

OSPAR Convention 

We adhere to:

• OSPAR Decision 2000/3 on the disposal of oil-based drill cuttings

• OSPAR Harmonised Offshore Chemical Notification Format (HOCNF), where applicable

• Practices that promote the minimisation of oil on cuttings and safe discharge, aligned with OSPAR’s sustainability goals

Technology That Supports Compliance

Our microwave-based treatment system enables operators to:

• Achieve oil-on-cuttings levels below regulatory thresholds

• Recover hydrocarbons for reuse, reducing waste volume and disposal cost

• Minimise greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional thermal methods

• Generate traceable data for regulatory reporting and audit readiness

Commitment to Best Practices

• Continuous system validation and third-party testing

• Collaboration with local regulators during project deployment

• Training and documentation support for client compliance teams

At Turbo-3, we don’t just keep up with regulatory expectations — we aim to set new benchmarks for environmental stewardship and operational transparency in the oil and gas sector.
