Petroleum Cold Cracking & Crude Upgrading
Refineries processing heavy or high sulphur crude face a persistent challenge: low distillate yields, high viscosity residues, energy-intensive processing, and mounting volumes of oil-contaminated sludge classified as hazardous waste. Conventional upgrading routes — thermal cracking, chemical additives, blending with diluents — are costly, carbon-intensive, and generate secondary waste streams. Meanwhile, sludge in storage ponds represents both a regulatory liability and a recoverable asset being written off.
With a focus on innovation, we ensure that our strategies are data-driven and effective, helping businesses thrive in the digital landscape.
Who Needs This
Refineries
Crude distillation and vacuum distillation units processing heavy crude slates or high-sulphur feedstocks requiring improved yield economics
Environmental Remediation
Facilities with accumulated oil sludge in storage ponds facing Schedule I hazardous waste disposal obligations under CPCB rules
Technology & Process
Petroleum Cold Cracking Technology uses resonant frequency-based low-temperature upgrading — deployed exclusively in India by Geovitas — to restructure hydrocarbon molecules at the molecular level, without high heat or chemical additives. The result: better crude, more distillates, less residue, and recovered hydrocarbons from waste.

Why it calls for Urgent Action
The Regulatory Relevance and Criticality
Our Petroleum Cold Cracking & Crude Upgrading Services addresses regulatory requirements across hazardous waste management, export market access, and carbon credit generation
CPCB / SPCB (India)
Oil sludge classified as hazardous waste under Schedule I of Hazardous Waste Management Rules. PUU-based treatment meets regulatory standards for hydrocarbon recovery and residue disposal – eliminating landfill liability.
EU CBAM
Indian refiners exporting petroleum products to Europe can demonstrate lower embedded emissions through energy-efficient upgrading, directly reducing CBAM certificate costs.
India CCTS & ESG
Verified CO₂ reductions from replacing energy-intensive treatment with low-temperature PUU processing are eligible for carbon credit generation under India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme.
Improve distillate yields, reduce energy costs, and eliminate sludge liability. Schedule a technical and economic feasibility study.

Three Service Lines
We work with cities, industries, and energy operators - each with a distinct pathway
Every organisation is now a climate organisation. This includes both the government and private ones. By this we mean every city, region, industry and energy company. Geovitas is how the serious organisations get ahead and stay ahead.
Our Story
The name Geovitas comes from geo (earth) and vitas (life) – sustaining life by making climate action economically rewarding. We serve three sectors: cities converting emission reductions into carbon credit revenue, manufacturers accessing export contracts through verified product carbon footprints, and energy operators stacking revenue from waste recovery and verified reductions. Climate accountability becomes commercially viable when the same data that meets regulatory requirements also unlocks green finance, reduces certificate costs, and generates tradeable credits.
