GN Solids Control has successfully delivered a state-of-the-art containerized crude oil tank sludge treatment system to a prominent customer in Europe. The system is designed to effectively manage and treat oil sludge generated during the cleaning of crude oil tanks, offering a highly efficient and environmentally friendly solution for the oil and gas industry.
This comprehensive system is divided into several key modules to ensure optimal performance and meet the demanding requirements of the client. The system includes the following components:
-
20FT Premixing Tank Module (2 units): The premixing tank is crucial for preparing the oil sludge before further treatment. This module efficiently mixes the oil sludge with additives to create a homogenous slurry, ensuring effective separation in subsequent stages of treatment.
-
Dual-layer Vibrating Screen Module (1 unit): The dual-layer vibrating screen is designed to remove large particles from the pretreated sludge. This screening process ensures that only finer particles enter the centrifugation stage, increasing the efficiency of the entire treatment system.
-
Hydraulic Decanter Centrifuge Module (1 unit): The hydraulic decanter centrifuge is the heart of the treatment process, efficiently separating the oil, water, and solid waste from the sludge. The centrifuge's advanced technology ensures high-quality separation, significantly reducing the amount of waste generated.
-
Flocculant Dosing Module (1 unit): This module adds flocculants to the sludge, promoting coagulation and improving the efficiency of the solid-liquid separation process. The dosing system ensures precise and consistent addition of chemicals, enhancing overall system performance.
This containerized system offers numerous advantages, including its compact design, ease of transport, and rapid deployment. It provides a highly flexible solution for oil sludge treatment in various applications, especially in remote locations or projects requiring quick setup.
GN Solids Control’s innovative sludge treatment system is poised to help European operators enhance their environmental performance while efficiently managing waste generated during crude oil tank cleaning operations. With a growing demand for sustainable practices in the oil and gas industry, this system is set to become a key solution for operators looking to reduce environmental impact and increase operational efficiency.
