System Concepts for the Future

The sludge components of water, oil and solids are separated in the separator by centrifugal force. The recovered oil and water is discharged under pressure by centripetal pumps.

 

The concentrated sludge is discharged intermittently via the sludge transfer unit into a heated sedimentation tank where final concentration takes place. Excess water and oil is allowed to overflow back to the sludge tank.

 

The concentrated sludge is pumped from the unit automatically by a solids discharge pump controlled by a level switch.

 

A microprocessor-based control cabinet supervises and controls the complete concentration process.
