Productivity boost
May 1st 2007 Rilta of Rathcoole, Ireland, has
installed a decanter centrifuge as
part of its waste treatment
processsing plant and increased its
potential throughput 5-fold. The
company anticipates full capital
payback within a year.
Rilta processes hydrocarbon
waste to recover reusable oil, clean
water and solids. The source
materials come from bilge water on
ships, oil spill recovery,
interceptors and wash water from
factories and processing plants.
On entering the plant, the feed
material is separated into oil which
is cleaned for reuse, water which is
treated prior to disposal through
the foul sewer system and sludge.
A CQ5000 decanter centrifuge,
supplied by Centriquip, is used to
dewater the sludge.
The decanter produces a water
phase and a dewatered cake that
is suitable for disposal through
incineration. More articles from Centriquip Ltd: |
