Decanting centrifuges solutions for oil, gas & energy industries - Oil, Gas & Refineries
Power generation: To ensure the ability to reliably cover humanity`s growing energy needs for the future, in energy generation the focus is increasingly not only on efficiency but also on sustainability and environmental friendliness, and research is being carried out for future-proof solutions. This means that the entire industry sector is undergoing continuous change, continuously creating new potential applications for such a versatile machine as the decanter. Hiller high performance decanters have been successfully in use in the energy sector for over 45 years. Many tasks for our decanters in this field relate to the dewatering of various residues, but they also play a key role in the generation of the raw materials.
Example applications
- Algae harvesting
- Plant oil production and cleaning
- Glycerine preparation from biodiesel production
- Grains from bioethanol production
- Fermented biowaste
- Flue gas cleaning sludges
- Sulphur from natural gas desulphurisation
Waste from the leather industry
In addition to these traditional tasks in the field of waste material preparation, recycling tasks play an enormously important role. This is because due to rising oil prices and increased levels of environmental awareness, the reclaiming of mineral, plant-based and animal oils from various waste products and by-products has been becoming ever more important for some years now. The correct preparation of millions of tonnes of mineral oil sludges worldwide from conveying, storing and refining crude oil generates a valuable raw material and energy source. Potential hazards for water, air and earth are removed and surfaces previously lost are made available again for appropriate usage. The processing of plant-based and animal-based waste also opens up sources for high quality oils and greases, and frequently also converts the solids in the waste into a valuable by-product.
Example applications
- Ground sludge from oil storage tanks
- Slop oil from lagoons and refineries
- Sludges from plant oil mills
- Waste from the food industry
- Kitchen waste
- Used food grease
- Slaughterhouse waste
- Rendering
- Waste from the leather industry
