Cairo, Egypt -- Aberdeen-based waste management firm TWMA will supply equipment and services for Shell and BP drilling in the Mediterranean. TWMA expects to open another office in Cairo to facilitate further expansion.

In the early part of 2006, the company established an operations base and treatment facility in Egypt's Ameriya Free Zone, close to the port of Abu Qir. The thermal desorption treatment facility for processing hydrocarbon contaminated drill cuttings, is unique to the country and operates under full license. Thermal technology separates the drilling fluids into their constituent parts of water, oil, and solids, all of which can then be recycled.
