In recent years, Beston Group has established cooperation with customers from all over the world in oil sludge treatment projects. This technology has huge potential in the fields of environmental protection and resource management. There is no doubt that sludge treatment plants will play an important role in future sustainable development.
Understanding Oil Sludge
Oil sludge is a complex mixture of crude oil or refined oil mixed with soil or other media. However, oil in the sludge cannot be recovered directly. This may lead to environmental pollution. Oli sludge is one of the main pollutants in the petrochemical industry. The following are the sources of oil sludge and the problems involved in dealing with it.
Sources of Oil Sludge
Oil sludge in the crude oil extraction process mainly comes from surface treatment systems. This includes oil production wastewater treatment and wastewater purification. The resulting oily sludge has the characteristics of high oil content, high viscosity, fine particles, and difficulty in dehydration.
The oil sludge from oilfield gathering and transportation mainly comes from oil tanks, settling tanks, sewage tanks, grease trap bottom sludge, and removed oily waste. When oil is in the tank, its heavy oil components are deposited at the bottom of the tank, forming oil sludge at the bottom of the tank.
Other sources of sludge mainly include the following. The steel smelting oil will pollute the surrounding soil. What’s more, the use of heavy oil hydrocarbons in shipbuilding and ship repair will pollute coastlines, river edges, and coastal areas. These contaminated soils contain oil sludge.
Limitations of Traditional Oli Sludge Treatment
Landfilling
- Land resource consumption
- Soil and groundwater pollution
- Long-term maintenance
Incineration
- Air pollution
- Energy consumption
- Greenhouse gas emissions
Using as fuel
- Limited applications
- Emission control challenges
- Combustion efficiency issues
Therefore, it is very important to find more effective and environmentally friendly sludge treatment technologies. Pyrolysis plant has become a new option for waste sludge treatment.
What is Oil Sludge Pyrolysis Plant?
When it comes to an oil sludge pyrolysis plant, it is a type of industrial equipment specifically designed to process the oil sludge generated in the petroleum industry. The machine adopts special equipment such as the pyrolysis reactor, condensation system, and exhaust gas control device. This ensures the safe and efficient conversion of sludge into a valuable product – pyrolysis oil. This kind of machine helps reduce the amount of waste and enables resource recovery. At the same time, the machine also reduces the environmental impact compared to traditional sludge disposal.
The Final Output of the Oil Sludge Treatment Plant
The final output of the oil sludge treatment plant consists of several components, with pyrolysis oil comprising 40% of the total output, followed by sand at 30%, water at 20%, and syngas at 10%. They are widely used in various industries.
End Product | Proportion | Application |
Pyrolysis Oil | 40% | Industrial fuel Deep processing into non-standard diesel Direct sale |
Sand | 30% | Make bricks Used as an anti-collapse agent for oil wells |
Water | 20% | / |
Syngas | 10% | Heating the main furnace after purifying |

Working Process Oil Sludge Pyrolysis Plant
The process of sludge pyrolysis is roughly as follows:
First, the processed sludge raw materials are transported to the silo. Subsequently, the sludge is pyrolyzed in the main furnace to generate oil and gas. Next, the condenser liquefies the oil vapor and stores the refined oil. In addition, combustible gas is used to heat the main furnace. The flue gas is discharged after pretreatment and adsorption. Finally, the solid residue is temporarily stored and discharged after cooling.
