Houston Natural Resources Corp. announced that its subsidiary HNR Oil Services LLC has completed the purchase of additional equipment to increase its processing capabilities. The new equipment is expected to be fully operational in the third quarter of this year. The new equipment will allow the company to expand its processing capabilities to fifty thousand barrels per day. The facility is currently permitted for disposal of twenty-five thousand barrels per day of oil field toxic waste fluids and is permitted and will soon expand to sterilizing oil field toxic solids waste. These unique permits have allowed HNR Oil Services to issue its customers a Texas State Certificate of Destruction of such toxic waste. This is an especially important step in environmental protection by keeping toxic materials out of land fields. The company receives fees for processing the water and oil sales from the separation of the oil from the water.
