Ever increasing environmental awareness and legislation is demanding that oily sludge is treated at source, as it is no longer acceptable for it to be sent to landfill/lagoons.

Willacy Oil Services has designed a range of mobile processing equipment which enables sludge to be treated at tank/lagoon side, recovering oil and minimising waste.

Pre-treatment of sludge is key to high quality separation. Willacy has a variety of systems tailored to meet the specific contract requirements.

The focus of the Willacy sludge processing system is on returning the valuable recovered hydrocarbons to the refinery, ensuring that they are not sent off site. In some cases the high oil content in the sludge, combined with the quality of the oil that can be separated by our system, can result in the projects being self-funding or offering a payback.

Willacy Oil Services R&D department is constantly designing a range of centrifuge technologies to deal with a variety of difficult to treat sludges, ranging from tight emulsions containing fine particles, biological sludges, through to high solids contaminated sludges.

This unique technology provides high quality and effective separation of this difficult waste product into three phases;

     * Oil 2% BS&W,

    * Water 1% Oil/Solids

    * Dry Sediment 1% Leachable Free Oil.

These are typical achievable qualities which can be improved if required by the addition of appropriate secondary treatment.
