Vivakor Successfully Remediates Contaminated Oil Sludge in Kuwait

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / March 9, 2020/ Vivakor, Inc. (OTC PINK:VIVK), a clean energy technology and asset acquisition company, is pleased to announce its Clean Energy Remediation Processing Center has commenced the remediation of highly contaminated material in Kuwait.

Vivakor is currently remediating heavy sludge soils containing as much as 30% oil by weight. The sludge remediation is part of the overall clean up of Kuwait from the Iraqi invasion some 25 years ago, and is an ongoing United Nations sanctioned clean up effort.

Vivakor, according to management, is the only technology provider to successfully separate hydrocarbons from heavy oil crude laden soils while not destroying the organic material. "Our proprietary remediation process results in not only reusable hydrocarbon material, but also a post processed sand contamination of less than 0.05% hydrocarbon content," stated Vivakor Chief Executive Officer Matt Nicosia. "We believe this puts us as at the top of socially responsible remediation and clean energy providers. The opportunities in the Middle East amount to tens of millions of metric tons that need remediation. Contaminated material from previous wars, accidental spills, tank bottom sludge, or drill cuttings are just a few of the types of materials our technology can clean and remediate."
