2 Sets GNOST-15 Oil Sludge Treatment System for Asia Customer

Recently 2 sets of GNOST-15 Oil Sludge Treatment System are ready for shipment to Asia customer. Each set of GNOST-15 Oil Sludge Treatment System including the components as below:


1. Feeding pump module, to pick up the oil sludge from waste pit and transfer to pre-mixing tank
2. Pre-mixing tank module, the function is to diluting, washing, heating and mixing of the oil sludge, so that the solids can be separated from the liquids in the further process of shale shaker, decanter centrifuge and three phase decanter centrifuge.


3. Coarse shale shaker separation module, to separate the coarse solids and reduce the solids content of the oil sludge, to protect the further decanter centrifuge, if the solids content is very high, the decanter centrifuge screw will be damaged and blocked easily.
