Oil Sludge Use Peristaltic Squeeze Hose Pump
Using a Peristaltic Squeeze Hose Pump for handling oil sludge is an effective solution due to the pump’s ability to handle highly viscous, abrasive, and potentially corrosive materials without damaging the internal components or the material being pumped. Oil sludge typically consists of a mixture of water, oil, solid particles, and other contaminants, making it challenging to transfer using conventional pumping methods.
Oil Sludge Use Peristaltic Squeeze Hose Pump Applications:
Oil Refining and Processing: Ideal for transferring oil sludge within refineries and processing plants.
Environmental Remediation:Used for injecting or extracting oil sludge from contaminated sites.
Waste Management: Suitable for moving oil sludge from collection points to treatment facilities.
Tank Cleaning: Effective for emptying tanks containing residual oil sludge.
Bioremediation Projects: Handling sludge for bioremediation processes where microbial treatments are applied.
Offshore Platforms: Transferring oil sludge on offshore drilling platforms and support vessels.
Key Features of Oil Sludge Use Peristaltic Squeeze Hose Pump:
1. Peristaltic Mechanism:
– Utilizes a flexible hose through which the oil sludge passes, compressed by rollers or shoes to move the fluid forward. This design ensures only the inside of the hose contacts the sludge, minimizing contamination risks.
2. High Abrasion Resistance:
– Hoses are made from specialized materials that can withstand the abrasive nature of oil sludge, including any coarse or sharp particulates present.
3. Seal-less Design:
– Eliminates the risk of leaks or contamination since there are no seals or valves that come into direct contact with the oil sludge.
4. Self-Priming and Dry Running Capability:
– Can start pumping immediately without being primed and can run dry without damage, providing operational flexibility.
5. Accurate Metering:
– Provides precise control over flow rates, making them suitable for dosing applications where accuracy is critical.
6. Gentle Handling:
– Ensures minimal degradation of shear-sensitive components of the oil sludge, preserving its integrity during transfer
7. Variable Flow Rates:
– Offers adjustable flow rates to accommodate different project requirements, from low-volume transfers to high-throughput operations.
8. Durable Construction:
– Built to handle continuous operation in demanding environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
9. Chemical Resistance:
– Hoses are available in various materials (e.g., EPDM, NBR, Viton, PTFE) to handle different types of chemicals and corrosive substances found in oil sludge.
