Recently, GN Separation successfully carried out an on-site equipment commissioning project in the Middle East. The project, which centered around a containerized sludge dewatering system, received high praise from the client. This recognition was due to the outstanding technical skills displayed by GN's after-sales service engineers and the system's excellent operational performance.

The commissioning primarily focused on the GNLW654-VFD sludge dewatering centrifuge, a machine specifically engineered for the challenging task of solid-liquid separation. This centrifuge was deployed to treat effluent water generated from the washing of oily soil—a process of great significance in the Middle East's unique environmental setting.

The Middle East is famous worldwide for its extensive oil reserves, but this also presents a distinct environmental challenge. During oil extraction and transportation, accidental spills frequently contaminate the soil. Given that much of the region is arid desert, soil is a valuable and limited resource. Thus, reclaiming uncontaminated soil through effective washing methods is not only an environmental necessity but also a strategic requirement for sustainable land utilization.

At the client's site, the process of washing contaminated soil starts with an intensive cleaning of oil-contaminated soil using water mixed with specialized chemicals. This process releases the oil and fine particles from the soil matrix. The resulting slurry is then directed to a flotation tank, where air bubbles are introduced to aid in the separation of oil and suspended solids. The buoyant oil and particles rise to the surface, forming a scum layer that is skimmed off and removed. However, the real challenge lies in efficiently treating the remaining sludge—a mixture of water, residual oil, and fine solids. This is where GN Separation's technology proves invaluable.

The GNLW654-VFD centrifuge is designed to handle such complex separations with precision and efficiency. By employing centrifugal force, the machine effectively separates the liquid phase from the solid phase, producing clarified water and a drier, more manageable sludge cake. This process is crucial not only for adhering to environmental regulations but also for reducing the volume of waste that needs to be disposed of, thereby lowering operational costs and minimizing environmental impact.

During the commissioning phase, GN's after-sales service engineer showcased his deep technical expertise. He carefully adjusted the centrifuge's operating parameters, including rotational speed and differential speed, to achieve the best possible separation efficiency. The objective was to ensure that the clarified liquid phase met strict clarity standards while the sludge cake reached the desired dryness, making it easier to handle and dispose of.

The client's feedback has been extremely positive. They commended not only the technical competence of GN's engineers but also the durability and efficiency of the equipment. The successful implementation of the sludge dewatering system has allowed the client to improve their environmental management, comply with regulatory requirements, and enhance operational efficiency.

This project highlights GN Separation's dedication to providing customized solutions that meet the specific needs of clients across various industries and geographical locations.
