As we may know, tons of sludge are produced in the oil field. The waste oil sludge exists in different ways, such as solid oil sludge, liquid oil sludge or even the stage of being half dry and half wet. If left unattended, waste oil sludge can cause serious harm to the environment. Fortunately, Henan DOING GROUP, a comprehensive environmental protection machinery manufacturing company, can help you to sort out the headache issues and recycle the waste oil sludge into high quality fuel oil.

Waste oil sludge can be either processed with DOING’s waste pyrolysis plant or waste oil refinery plant, which mainly depends on the oil sludge condition. The sludge produced in the oil field is very rich in oil components and a good kind of waste polymer that can be converted into high quality fuel oil or diesel.

1. For solid oil sludge and half dry&half wet oil sludge

Henan DOING’s oil sludge pyrolysis plant can effectively convert oil sludge into fuel oil, carbon black as well as flammable syn-gas, with the fuel oil accounting for about 40% to 60%, carbon black 20% to 40% and syn-gas around 20%. Here is the detailed info for each output after pyrolysis processing.

Regarding fuel oil, it is widely used for industrial and commercial purposes. For example, the fuel oil can be used as heating fuel for boiler factories, cement factories, glass factories and power factories, etc.

Carbon black is often used as a chemical enhancer in rubber and coloring agents in pigment industries. This carbon black price is very competitive compared to petroleum carbon black, so the carbon black separated from oil sludge is a good option instead of petroleum carbon black.

For syn-gas from waste oil sludge pyrolysis plant, its main component is bio-gas (CH4), it’s a non-condensable gas and hard to store these gases. So it was recycled the heating energy for the waste oil sludge pyrolysis reactor with a special method.

2. For oil sludge at a thin and liquid stage

For this kind of liquid oil sludge, it can be refined to produce diesel fuel through waste oil refinery plant. The obtained diesel fuel can be used in heavy machinery, generator, boiler, etc. The final diesel yield also depends on the moisture content of the liquid oil sludge.

Therefore, we can say without doubt that the sludge produced in the oil field is recyclable. There are two ways to deal with the oil sludge environmentally based on different oil sludges conditions by DOING pyrolysis plants and refinery plants. Which way is the suitable and best way for you to deal with your own oil sludge? Any unclear information or machine details, please always feel free to contact us.
