Sludge treatment
Sludge-breaker selection for oil recovery and the treatment of hydrocarbon deposits.
How it is used
Sludge-breaking formulations help fluidise sludge and release entrapped oil while supporting separation of the oil and water phases. The treatment approach depends on the proportions of oil, water, solids, wax and other deposits.
Application areas
- Tank-bottom sludge treatment
- Recovery of oil entrapped in sludge
- Hydrocarbon deposit and fluid-handling problems
Formulation considerations
Proprietary solvent and surface-active formulations are screened against the actual sludge.
What we need to select a grade
- Sludge sample and oil, water and solids composition
- Deposit type and available mixing or heating
- Recovery objective and planned residue-management route
Product data and handling
Request the current technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the proposed grade. Confirm dosage, compatibility, handling and supply requirements before use.
