Compared with drilling cuttings (discharged from shale shaker), oil sludge is more difficult to be treated and recycled. To have better understanding of oily sludge, we have to know what oily sludge is & where it is from. Pls get more info from google search engine. And from below chapter, we can know how to treat the oily sludge and what results we can get after treatment.
GN Solids Control is China & USA based leading manufacturer for solids control & drilling waste management equipment. Studied together with China Oilfield Service Limited (short for COSL), GN Solids Control develop the first sets of Chemical enhancing centrifuge system for oily sludge treatment in beginning of 2015, after jobsite test and application, the result is very good. COSL repeat another 2 sets centrifuge system order in past several months.
1) Chemical enhancing centrifuge system configuration:
a. one sets small mud tank to suspending the oily sludge before treatment. Mud Agitator installed to get better performance
b. Chemical enhancing system. The user can add chemicals from upside hopper. All the motor in Chemical enhancing system is controlled by a separate panel mounted on the system
c. one sets GNLW363CG-VFD centrifuge. This centrifuge speed can be easily adjusted by the separate VFD control panel and get stepless speed adjustment. The centrifuge can reach to 3200RPM, remove ultra fine solids 2-5 microns. There is a catching tank beneath the centrifuge to hold the liquids parts discharged from decanter centrifuge.
All the parts is designed on a 11 meter longer oilfield skid, with lifting points for easier movement.
d. Screw conveyors is also necessary for the system, to transferring solids discharge / for other application.
GN Solids Control offer 3 sets 1000hp mud drilling system and 1 set 17-tanks liquid mud plant to COSL in last year. We build strong relationship with COSL and are registered equipment supplier for COSL, China largest offshore drilling contractor.
