Part 1: Source of drilling waste

Source 1: Drilling waste from oil based mud drilling operations. The assessment is yet to be conducted

Souce 2: Refinery waste: Most of it is waste water, sludge, and the usual refineries waste ingredients. The refinery waste will be first recovered from large ponds and for those ponds to be remediated to original status where we will plant them with trees.

Source 3: Storage tank sludge: The tanks are yet to be calculated in terms of number and storage capacity. However, they are estimated to exceed the 50 tanks mark.

Source 4: Oil pits (there are many oil pits and waste management service company are trying to do land remediation to original state which means they will treat the crude to get it back to its crude status, soil back to soil and water to be recovered):

Oil pit case from Iraq drilling waste management market:

• There are over 120 oil pits to be treated.
• More than 60% are emptied from crude and what is left is sludge and soil to be treated.
• Average sizes are 100 miters in length, 70 miters in width and 5 miters in depth.
• We will be dealing with all of them, the ones that have sludge and soil left and the ones that are still filled with crude.
• The base of all pits is earthen. No concrete nothing else but earthen.
• Our task is to treat all pits and remediate the land to original status where we will plant them with trees.

A same decanter centrifuge will work differently by different operators. Because the professional maintainence is very important to protect the centrifuge and gives the decanter centrifuge a longer operation life.Following is two reminding for handling GN decanter centrifuges.

• 1)Protect the Centrifuge Bearing before Moving.

GN latest designed decanter centrifuge is fixed with tighten steel bracket belt to support the bowl assemly.Before moving the centrifuge, it is very important to fix the bracket under the bowl assemly by screws and make sure it is tighten enough,if the bracket can not support the bowl assembly tightly,operators can put some rubber on the steel bracket to make the bracket more tightly under the  bowl assembly. And then tighten belt to prevent the rotation of the bowl during shipping from jobsite to jobsite.

2) To start the centrifuge,operators should disassemble the supporting bracket for the bowl, and remove the tighten belt,and rotate the bowl assembly by hand before start to make sure the bowl rotation is free.

3)Lubrication should be done regularly for the centrifuge as following.

If customers have any other questions for your decanter centrifuge,please feel free to contact GN representatives.We will do our best to support you and give you solutions.
