Dedicated to Industry Separation Solutions

OIL SLUDGE SEPARATION

Oil sludge originates from diverse sources such as crude oil storage tanks, refinery plants, drilling pits, and aged sludge lagoons. This waste is a complex mixture of oil, water, and solids that poses a significant disposal challenge and environmental liability. KES Separation offers a turnkey solution designed to separate these components effectively, transforming a liability into three distinct streams: valuable oil for recovery, clean water for reuse, and dry solids for safe disposal.

Customer Benefits

Value Recovery Maximizing ROI Our primary goal is to achieve acceptable separation performance at an affordable cost. The system successfully recovers valuable oil that can be sold back to major oil companies like Shell, Eni, and Chevron. Simultaneously, the water phase is treated for industrial reuse, and the solid phase is rendered safe, significantly reducing environmental impact and disposal fees .

Proven Field Experience KES Separation has extensive experience working with local service companies in major oilfields, including Tianjin Dagang and Shanxi Changqing. Our adjustable configurations ensure that regardless of the sludge source—whether tank bottoms or drilling pits—the system delivers optimal performance .

Cost & Usability This design is not only more cost-effective in terms of capital and operational expenses but is also user-friendly, making it easier for field operators to manage without extensive specialized training.

Key Application

  • Tank Cleaning: Recovery of oil from crude oil storage tank bottoms and refinery waste oil sludge.
  • Drilling Waste Pits: Treatment of active drilling sludge pits and aged/legacy sludge lagoons.
  • Refinery Operations: Managing oily sludge generated during refining processes.
  • Marine & Vessel: Treatment of oil sludge from oil vessels and cargo holds.

Technology & Performance

Our goal is to achieve acceptable separation performance at an affordable cost. The system is designed to separate the sludge into three streams:

  • Valuable Oil: Recovered and sent back to oil companies.
  • Clean Water: Treated for reuse.
  • Dry Solids: Safe for final disposal.
