KOSUN has delivered its second oil sludge treatment system in Kuwait, further expanding its project experience in the Middle East oil and gas industry.
Designed for a local oil company, the system has a processing capacity of 50 tons per hour. It provides an integrated solution for oily sludge treatment, oil recovery and waste reduction.
Project Background
As a major oil-producing country, Kuwait generates oily sludge during crude oil production and transportation. Proper treatment of this waste is essential for reducing environmental risks and recovering valuable resources.
To address these requirements, KOSUN supplied an on-site oil sludge treatment system combining thermal washing, centrifugal separation and chemical conditioning.
Treatment Process and System Features
The system adopts a combined treatment process to achieve three-phase separation of oil, water and solid particles.
Key features include:
- Hot Washing: Helps release oil from solid particles and improve separation efficiency.
- Centrifugal Separation: Separates oil, water and solids for subsequent treatment and recovery.
- Chemical Conditioning: Supports the treatment process and improves separation performance.
- Modular Design: Integrates the main treatment equipment for convenient transportation and on-site installation.
Project Value
With a processing capacity of 50 tons per hour, the system provides an integrated approach to oily sludge management.
By separating recoverable oil from water and solid residues, the system supports resource recovery and reduces the volume of oily waste requiring further disposal.
The delivery of this second project in Kuwait also reflects KOSUN’s continued involvement in providing oil sludge treatment solutions for the regional oil and gas industry.
