3-phase separating decanter for oil & gas
In the oil and gas industry, managing waste and slop oils is a difficult task due to the varied composition of these mixtures, which can include water, oil, and sediments in significantly fluctuating ratios. Efficient separation is crucial to ensure environmental compliance and optimal resource recovery.
Efficiently separate oil, water, and solids
The 3-Phase Separating Decanter from GEA is designed to address the stringent separation needs of the oil and gas industry. It excels in handling slop oils with varied compositions, such as those found in storage lagoons where the water content can range between 10 and 70 percent and solids content up to 15 percent. The decanter features a low bowl angle for optimal thickening and a hydraulic scroll drive for maximum power. Its patented bowl design is capable of handling brine with a specific gravity of up to 1.5 sg. The ecoforce series of decanters incorporate the super deep pond design and the integrated summationdrive, reducing energy consumption by up to 30 percent compared to traditional designs. This innovative drive system utilizes an intelligent kinematic solution that combines the capacities of two motors to power the bowl and scroll effectively, minimizing conversion losses. Additionally, the decanter offers a fully automatic facility for adjusting differential speed across a broad range, accommodating a variety of slop oil compositions. With high speed, high g-force, and a compact footprint, this decanter ensures optimal performance with minimal space requirements.
