Applications
Refinery
Screw press dewatering of refinery and petrochemical wastewater sludge
Dewatering Refinery Sludge
Refineries produce oily sludges from API separators, DAF units and biological treatment, all requiring dewatering before disposal or thermal treatment. The enclosed screw press handles these mixed hydrocarbon-and-biomass sludges while containing odour and vapour.
Continuous automatic operation and explosion-protected options make the press well suited to the classified areas and 24/7 operation of a refinery effluent plant.
Typical Sludge & Process Parameters
| Parameter | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Sludge type | API / DAF / biological |
| Feed concentration | 1–6% DS |
| Cake solids | 15–30% DS |
| Key requirement | ATEX / vapour containment |
