API
Separators are mainly used for oil water separation in the
refineries. Refineries wastewater (oily type) is usually sent to
API separators. The sediment waste in water is precipitated at
the bottom of the API separators. We remove the sludge on line
utilizing the hydro dredger robotic machine. The hydro dredger
is provided with a screw type centrifugal pump. The hydro
dredger works on the principle of breaking down the sludge
chunks & makes it homogenous for pumping. The first pass of
pumping is recycled back into the top loading tanker for further
sludge processing. As explained, the system can work on line
without the need for shutting down the refinery.
