Oil Sludge treatment equipments manufacturer in China

Oil sludge treatment equipments, Solids control equipments and drilling cuttings treatment equipments are major equipments produced by GN Solids Control. We can design and produce customized oil sludge treatment system and equipments as client’s requirement. Generally, GN oil sludge treatment system is to use chemicals to wash the oil sludge by heating to 60-70 C degree.


After treatment, the user will get required oil, water and solids. The recycled water will be reused in the circulation system, the recycled oil will be sold or for other use, the discharged solids will be send for final disposal or to further treatment unit.
The oil sludge from crude oil tank cleaning, refinery plant waste oil sludge, drilling waste sludge can be treated by the oil sludge treatment system, including sludge vacuum pump, pre-mixing & heating module, chemical dosing unit, coarse solids separation module, 2 phase decanter centrifuge separation module, 3 phase centrifuge separation module. The major equipments including: Double deck shale shaker, vacuum pump, 2 phase decanter centrifuge, 3 phase decanter centrifuge, screw pump, submersible slurry pump, mud tank with heating lines and accessories.


When using the vacuum pump to pick up the oil sludge from waste pit, an air compressor is used to supply air for the operation, it is a 100% air operated pump without electricity. The discharge horizontal distance is 500 ~1000m, if the outlet pipe size is bigger than inlet pipe size, the transfer distance will be sacrificed. The vertical picking up depth is less than 3m, the clear water picking up depth is up to 9vmeters.
We have GNOST-02C, GNOST-05A, GNOST-15A with 2m3/h, 5m3/h, 15m3/h capacity for option. If you need to get high quality oil and water, lower operation cost and maintenance cost, simple operation, less oil on the discharged solids, pls contact with GN sales engineer.

Two Sets GNOST-05C GN Oil Sludge Treatment System for Overseas Client

Recently 2 sets of GNOST-05C oil sludge treatment system are ready for delivery. The oil sludge treatment system is customized design as per client’s requirement, including pre-mixing tank module, chemical dosing unit, three phase decanter centrifuge separation module and three phase disc centrifuge separation module.


The pre-mixing tank module is used to receive the oil sludge from picking up pump, supply heating steam to the pipelines inside mud tank to heat the oil sludge up to 60 ~70°C, add proper chemicals and the mud agitator will mix it continuously, the screw pump will transfer the well mixed oil sludge to 3 phase decanter centrifuge separation module together with chemical dosing unit.


The 3 phase decanter centrifuge module consist of 3 phase decanter centrifuge, mud agitator, water collection tank, oil catching tank, to get discharged water, oil and separated solids.


The 3 phase disc centrifuge separation module consists of 3 phase disc separator, oil buffer tank with oil pump, water buffer tank with water pump, the oily fluids is feed to three phase disc separator to get clear water, oil and few solids. The separation result of 3 phase decanter centrifuge and 3 phase disc centrifuge is different to meet different client’s treatment requirement, the maintenance cost and operation procedure is also different.
GN solids control have 3 models standard oil sludge treatment system with 1m3/h, 5m3/h and 15 m3/h treating capacity, which can be used to treat refinery oil tank bottom cleaning oil sludge treatment, drilling waste treatment, oily waste water treatment, we can also provide customized modules oil sludge treatment according to different projects. Except for oil sludge treatment system, GN also design and produce water based drilling cuttings treatment and oil based drilling cuttings treatment system, if you need a drilling waste management solution, pls contact with GN solids sales.

3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge for oil water separation to China ES Company

One unit of three phase decanter centrifuge is ready for delivery to China Environmental Science company for oil water separation.
The three phase decanter centrifuge working principal is as below:


The solids, oil and water with different gravity, so the generated centrifugal force is different. The solids with largest specific gravity will generate highest centrifugal force, the next is the heavy phase liquid ( water) and the light phase liquid (oil). Due to different centrifugal force, one solid layer and two liquid layer are formed. The solids to be pushed out by the screw, the liquids are separated out from their respective nozzles, the solids oil water separation can be achieved.


GN three phase decanter centrifuge is designed for oil water solids separation under 24 hours continuous working and easy operation & maintenance. The main components including centrifuge driving system, decanter bowl, screw inside the bow, centrifuge skid and VFD control panel.
The 3 phase decanter centrifuge is installed on the mud tank or on the telescopic skid with feeding pump, it has been widely used for oil sludge treatment system. The oil sludge can not be feed into the three phase decanter centrifuge directly, the sludge vacuum pump will pick up the oil sludge from waste pit to the pre-mixing tank, with chemical jetting, heating and agitating, the submersible slurry pump will suck from the pre-mixing tank to shale shaker module to separate the coarse solids and reduce solids content, the fluids discharged from shale shaker will be feed to two phase decanter centrifuge with proper chemicals for fine solids separation. The liquid treated by the 2 phase decanter centrifuge can be feed to three phase decanter centrifuge for oil water separation by adding proper chemicals.
For more information of three phase centrifuge, pls contact with GN solids control.

One set of oil sludge treatment system ready for delivery to South America

Recently one set of oil sludge treatment system are ready for delivery to South America client. This is a customized 2 phase separation oil sludge treatment system for client’s project.
The technical configuration is as below:
1. The first mud tank work as dilution liquid storage tank and coarse solids separation module with double deck high G drying shaker with spray system and closed cover to prevent oil sludge splashing, the continuous spraying with dilution liquid will reduce the shaker screen blinding by the high viscosity oil sludge. A submersible slurry pump is used to transfer the dilution liquid to high G drying shaker, decanter centrifuge flushing line, decanter centrifuge dilution line.

The electric steam generator provide hot steam to the heating lines around the mud tank to heat the oil sludge
2. The second mud tank acts as a centrifuge separation module with 2 phase decanter centrifuge or 3 phase decanter centrifuge, by using the 2 phase decanter centrifuge, the solids and oil water mixture fluids will be separated, the fluids will drop into the mud tank and transfer to truck wagons by submersible slurry pump, the solids will be sent to disposal, working with proper chemicals, which will increase the treatment efficiency and get better treatment result.


When 3 phase decanter centrifuge is used, the oil, water and solids are separated out, the oil and water will flow to 2 different compartment as oil storage tank and water storage tank, the water can be recycled in the treatment system, the oil can be sent to the user, the solids will be sent to disposal.
3. The vacuum pump will pick up the oil sludge from the waste pit to the screening module with a buffer box to reduce the pressure.
4. Chemical dosing unit and air compressor, electric heater will be prepared by the user.
