Environmental Impact

WOQOD consciously looks to minimize its affect on the environment and will continue to invest in technologies to improve in this area.

Examples of these environments includes:

1. Recycling of water

   The car wash machines on new service stations include water-recycling systems enabling the reuse of 90% of the water used cleaning cars.

2. Leak detection systems

   Underground storage tanks are double skinned and have leak detection systems fitted. Alarm systems are automatically activated if there is any leakage through the inner wall of the tanks so avoiding any chance of soil pollution.

3. Vapor recovery systems

   Road tankers are designed to take gasoline vapors from storage tanks at the same time as they are filling the tanks. These vapors are returned to the fuels depot where a recycling system returns the to liquid gasoline so avoiding the venting of vapors to the air.

4. Friends of environment

   WOQOD is a co-sponsor of the Friends of the Environment initiative to introduce recycling to all schools in Qatar. This includes the separation of household waste such as aluminum, paper, glass and cardboard to be recycled and reused. WOQOD service stations have recycling containers for customers to bring their household waste for recycling.
