3-phase separating decanter for oil & gas

Efficiently separate water, oil, and solids with precision using this advanced decanter, designed to handle complex mixtures and optimize waste oil recovery and refining processes.

Separates and Recovers Oil from Slop and Waste

The 3-Phase Separating Decanter Centrifuge from GEA is engineered specifically for the oil and gas sectors, offering innovative solutions to transform refinery residues into valuable products. This centrifuge reduces water and sediment from slop and waste oils using a cutting-edge mechanical separation technique combined with minimal chemical usage. Its ecoforce series design boasts a unique bowl and scroll system powered by dual motors configured in a summationdrive, achieving a 30% reduction in energy consumption. With the super deep pond design and high g-force, it efficiently processes a range of viscous materials, supporting continuous, high-speed operations. Constructed with stainless steel wetted parts and hard-facing options like tungsten carbide tiles, it ensures durability in harsh environments. This decanter not only integrates seamlessly into existing systems with optional PLC controls but also adapts to broad differential speed settings for flexible processing. Ideal for slop oil recovery, waste oil dehydration, and demulsification processes, it is designed to maximize output while minimizing footprint and operational costs.

Benefits

  • Significantly lowers operational costs with a 30% reduction in energy consumption.
  • Enhances oil recovery and purity, converting waste into valuable resources.
  • Minimizes maintenance downtime with durable hard-faced and stainless steel components.
  • Adapts to varying input conditions with broad differential speed adjustments.
  • Optimizes space usage with a compact design, ideal for constrained operational environments.
