INDUSTRIAL CENTRIFUGES IN THE INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER AND MINERAL OIL INDUSTRIES

In the field of industrial wastewater, centrifuges are used to quickly separate and thicken the suspended solids (sludge) in wastewater, realising mud-water separation and reducing the subsequent treatment load.
In the field of mineral oil, centrifuges are mainly used to purify fuel oil and lubricating oil, efficiently separating the water and solid impurities therein, improving the purity of the oil and extending the life of the equipment.
Their core advantage is all the use of centrifugal force to achieve efficient and rapid separation of substances of different densities.

INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER

In industrial wastewater treatment, centrifuges play a crucial role mainly as an efficient and continuous solid-liquid separation equipment. The core application is in the field of sludge dewatering, which is the most common and important application of centrifuges in the field of industrial wastewater. After wastewater is treated biochemically or by other processes, a large amount of sludge containing water (usually with a water content of more than 99%) is produced. These sludges are bulky and extremely costly to transport and dispose of. The main task of centrifuges is to dewater these sludges and turn them into mud cakes with low water content, thus reducing the volume and weight significantly. Advantages of Oupeng machinery centrifuge: fully closed operation, no odour overflow, good environmental hygiene; high degree of automation, continuous feeding and discharging;
small footprint; no need to replace the filter cloth and other consumables, high efficiency and continuity, can be operated 24 hours a day uninterruptedly, large processing capacity, high degree of automation, adaptability, through the adjustment of the drum speed, differential speed, the amount of feed, and other parameters, you can deal with the different nature of the sludge, the layout of a flexible. Compact structure, small footprint, can be installed on the ground or overhead arrangement, maintenance is relatively simple, the main moving parts are drum and spiral, routine maintenance is relatively simple. Suitable for large municipal sewage plants, petrochemical, food processing, paper, pharmaceutical and other industries that produce large amounts of sludge and have high environmental and automation requirements. In addition to mainstream sludge dewatering, centrifuges have other uses in some specific scenarios: 1. Pre-treatment: removal of high-density suspended In some industrial wastewater (such as mining, metal processing, steel industry), it may contain suspended particles of higher density (such as metal shavings, mineral powders, gravel, etc.). Sand sedimentation centrifuges or disc centrifuges can be used to quickly remove these heavy substances in the pre-treatment stage, protecting subsequent pumps and treatment facilities from wear and tear.2. Separation of oil, water and residue three-phase In food processing (e.g., animal slaughtering, oil and grease mills), petrochemical and other industries, wastewater may contain oil, grease, water and solid impurities at the same time. The specially designed three-phase centrifuge can separate these three phases at the same time.3. Solid-liquid separation after chemical coagulation When dealing with certain difficult-to-degrade wastewater, chemicals (such as PAC, PFS) will be added to produce flocculants. Centrifuge can quickly separate these chemical sludge to achieve the clear liquid discharge or reuse.
Centrifuge is the key indispensable equipment in modern industrial wastewater treatment, especially in large-scale sludge dewatering. Their high efficiency, continuity and cleanliness have made them widely used in many industries, and despite the challenges of high energy and pharmaceutical costs, their overall advantages are still outstanding.

MINERAL OIL

Wherever crude oil is refined or reprocessed, oily residues are produced. Centrifuges are commonly used to treat the oily residue (often referred to as "sludge") from the processing of crude oil. This is a critical and challenging solid-liquid separation process in the petrochemical industry. Centrifuges have become one of the mainstays of processing this type of material due to their high efficiency, continuous operation and adaptability.
The advantages of using OUPENG machinery decanter centrifuge are continuous automatic operation with large processing capacity, closed operation to ensure safety and environmental protection, adaptability to cope with different nature of materials, space saving.
The ultimate goal of using decanter centrifuge is to achieve the maximum recovery of oil products, wastewater treatment and solid waste reduction and harmless, in order to meet the environmental regulations at the same time, the recovery of resources to create economic benefits, is the petrochemical industry to achieve the green and clean production of one of the key links.
