FAQ
Q1: What is an oil sludge treatment system?
A: It is an integrated processing system that treats oil-based sludge from tank cleaning, drilling, refining, and spills – separating it into recoverable oil, reusable water, and environmentally compliant solid waste.
Q2: What is the typical oil recovery rate?
A: The system can recover 80% or more of the mineral oil content. The recovered oil is saleable with BS&W as low as 3–5%.
Q3: What is the oil content on discharged solids?
A: Typically 1–3% oil on solids discharged from the three-phase decanter centrifuge. With disc centrifuge polishing, oil quality can reach BS&W < 3%.
Q4: Is the water reusable?
A: Yes. Recovered water contains approximately 1% oil and can be reused in the pre‑mixing stage, significantly reducing fresh water consumption.
Q5: What are the available configurations?
A: Skid‑mounted for field flexibility, containerized for easy transport and plug‑and‑play deployment, and vehicle‑mounted for emergency response.
Q6: What heating methods are available?
A: Electric, steam, and thermal oil – flexible for different site conditions.
Q7: What is the processing capacity range?
A: From 5 m³/h to 60 t/h, with custom configurations available.
Q8: How many operators are required?
A: Only 2 operators per shift – the system is PLC automated.
Q9: What types of oil sludge can be treated?
A: Crude oil tank sludge, refinery waste, drilling site sludge, oil spills, contaminated soil, and oil-based drill cuttings.
Q10: Is the system environmentally compliant?
A: Yes. Solids meet disposal standards, water is recycled with zero discharge, and the process is enclosed to prevent VOC emissions.
Q11: What is the delivery lead time?
A: Standard configurations8–12 weeks. Custom configurations may take longer.
Q12: Is the system certified?
A: Yes – API and ISO certified, meeting international industry standards.
Q13: Can the system be expanded later?
A: Yes – the system can be upgraded to a larger processing station with increased capacity.
Q14: What spare parts do you provide?
A: Shaker screens, centrifuge components, chemical dosing pumps, heating elements, and all wear parts.
Q15: Do you provide installation and commissioning support?
A: Yes – drawings, installation guidance, and optional on‑site commissioning support.
