As one of the professional oil sludge separation system manufacturer in China, GN solids control can design and produce customized system for our clients working for oilfield environmental solution company, refinery tank bottom cleaning company, oil sludge treatment facility, oil waste water treatment company, oil waste disposal company, etc. Recently we have one set of oil sludge separation system ready for shipment, if you are interested in a solution for oil sludge treatment, pls contact with GN sales engineer to check the system.

A basic oil sludge separation system including: sludge transfer unit, pre-mixing modular, coarse solids separation modular, fine solids separation modular, 3 phase separation modular, chemical dosing unit, oil storage tank, water storage tank and other accessories. The most important modular is fine solids separation modular and 3 phase separation, the other modular might be replaced or removed depends on the client’s requirement and site situation.

A decanter centrifuge with positive pressurized VFD control panel is used to separate the fine solids from the oil / water mixture liquids, proper chemicals should be used in the process to improve the separation performance, the fine solids should be separated as much as possible so that the next step 3 phase centrifuge can separate the oil and water with good result, without blocking the equipment. Before feeding to the decanter centrifuge, no solids bigger than 1mm remained in the oil sludge should be ensured, it might influence the centrifuge working life and lead it to blocking easily.

The 3 phase centrifuge is to use to separate the oil from water, and oil will flow to a small tank, when the liquid level reach the setting limit, the oil pump will pump it to the storage tank automatically, which will be recovered by the refinery. The recovered water can be re-used in the circulation to be used for mixing, heating and flushing.

GN Solids Control can provide customized solution for oil sludge treatment unit, the core equipment is decanter centrifuge, which can separate the fine solids from the fluids mixture, the separation performance highly depends on the working and quality of the decanter centrifuge. When use the decanter centrifuge, the user should ensure that coarse solids are already separated out in case that the big solids will block the centrifuge bowl and the screw will be damaged easily because of high solids content.

The fluids discharged from decanter centrifuge will flow to a intermediate tank, then to be pumped to three phase centrifuge to separate oil and water. The recovery oil will be storage in a oil tank, the discharged water will be storage in the water tank or reused.
The working principal of decanter centrifuge for solids and liquid phase cleaning:
The oil sludge is feed to decanter centrifuge inlet pipe, and push to centrifuge bowl from screw fluids distribution port by centrifugal force. The oil sludge is rotating with the bowl under high speed up to 3900rpm, the normal working speed is 3200rpm. The centrifugal force is much more higher than gravity. With the great centrifugal force, a fluids ring is generated along with the bowl inside wall, because of the density difference for solids and liquids, the solids is heavier than liquids, which will generate bigger centrifugal force, so it is settled down to the fluids discharge port.
GN big bowl big volume decanter centrifuge GNLW554EP is the ideal model to treat oil sludge with higher treating capacity, the bowl diameter is 550mm, the bowl length is 2310mm, the higher L/D ratio 4.2 will treat the oil sludge better and cleaner. The Netzsch brand screw pump will be used to feed the different material to decanter centrifuge for stable working.

GN solids control will participate in India HDD exhibition held in December, 2019, Welcome to visit our stand at NO DIG SHOW or make an appointment by Teresa@gnsolidscontrol.com .
