Three-phase Centrifuge for Crude Oil and Coal Chemical Industry
WP centrifuges are applied in various oil recovery projects. Slope oil is a valuable but dangerous resource in oilfield, in order to mostly recover the oil, decanter centrifuge plays a key role while removing the impurity from the sludge. Apart from the slope oil, Contaminated Lubricating Oil and engine oil needs to have water and other impurities removed on a constant basis. It’s a reliable way to prevent symptoms of wear appearing on engine components and a drop in performance or even failures.
Oil separation and recovery
In the oil exploration activities, the oil sludge generated from pipeline rupture and the tank bottom sludge generated from tank cleaning all contain a large amount of crude oil. In order to better protect the environment and save energy, centrifuges are widely used to separate and recover the crude oil. WPE, after years of field trials and scientific and technological innovation, developed a special three-phase centrifuge for recovery of crude oil, the recovery rate of crude oil as high as 85% -90%.


Process Description
Coal tar recovery
Coal tar is a dark brown, viscous liquid produced when the coal is distilled off. The yield rate of coal tar is usually at 3-4% of the dry coal. According to different coking temperatures, coal tar can be divided into high-temperature tar, intermediate temperate and low temperature tar. According to different pyrolysis temperate, it can be divided into low temperature (450 ℃ ~ 650 ℃) dry distillation tar, low and medium temperature (600 ℃ ~ 800 ℃) furnace tar, Medium temperature (900 ℃ ~ 1000 ℃) vertical coal tar, high temperature (1000 ℃) coking tar. The crude tar is produced by the coking process with circulating ammonia spray gas and condensate cooling in the primary cooler, containing about 4% water, and sometimes up to 8 to 10%.
