Cracked or Washed Out Fluid Ends?
The truth is, the Oil and Gas Industry DOES care about our environment and leads countless efforts to enrich our society and the planet we inhabit. We give our industry one more way to do good with the consumable items created by the activities which provide the energy of the world. Let’s face it, fluid ends, though lasting longer than ever before, don’t last forever.
We know fluid ends. We know recycling. We take care of everything, provide full visibility, and keep it simple. We buy failed, used, or scrapped fluid ends, and other metals, and recycle them domestically in the USA to be processed and remelted into a variety of products, ultimately completing the loop and supporting American manufacturing in the process. We also offer turnkey dismantling services with custom tree planting options tailored for each client.
Replanting trees around the globe
Replanting trees is more than carbon sequestration. So many regions in the world have been devastated by deforestation and as a result, entire communities that rely on the forest and its ecosystem have been offset because of this.
Currently, our tree planting partners are in 42 countries globally working to change the negative impact of that deforestation. From helping a community regain their livelihood to reintroducing wildlife into their natural habitat, Fluid End Forest is committed to the future regrowth of global forests.
