The fully containerized system ensures rapid deployment, simplified logistics, and operational flexibility, making it ideal for challenging projects across the continent. It combines several advanced processing modules into a cohesive, high-performance unit:

Pre-Mixing Tank Modules (2 units): These modules provide the initial stage for receiving and conditioning the oil sludge feedstock, preparing it for downstream separation processes.

Double Layer Shale Shaker Module (1 unit): The shale shaker is the critical first phase of solids control. This module features GN's high-performance shale shakers, available as advanced 3rd Generation Linear Motion Shakers or 4th Generation Balanced Elliptical Shakers, designed based on extensive experience and client feedback. Key advantages include:

High G-Force: For superior solids separation efficiency.

Wide Screen Area: Maximizes processing capacity.

Compact Structure: Optimizes space utilization within the containerized design.

Cost-Effectiveness: Delivers high performance at optimal operational cost. GN can customize configurations (double or triple shakers per skid) with integrated manifolds to meet specific project demands.

Hydraulic Decanter Centrifuge Module (1 unit): This core component utilizes a full hydraulic drive system for both the bowl and conveyor scroll. This advanced drive offers significant benefits:

Robust Performance in Harsh Conditions: Ideal for high-temperature environments and processing heavy, viscous sludge.

Flexible Speed Control: Allows precise adjustment of bowl speed and differential speed for optimal separation of fine solids.

Compact Skid Design: Ensures easier installation and integration within the containerized system.

Flocculation Dosing Unit Module (1 unit): GN's Automatic Chemical Preparation and Dosing Unit provides precise and efficient addition of flocculants essential for sludge dewatering. This integrated system features:

Fully Automated Operation: Handles powder conveying, dissolution, and dosing automatically.

Advanced Powder Handling: Quantitative screw conveying with timed vibration minimizes powder agglomeration.

Adjustable Concentration: Allows precise control over dry powder dosage and water inflow to prepare the optimal chemical solution for varying sludge conditions.

Integrated Control: A built-in electrical control cabinet manages the entire preparation and dosing process. This unit is crucial for enhancing the performance of the decanter centrifuge and is widely applicable across industries including petroleum, wastewater treatment, chemicals, paper, power, and food processing.
