KOSUN 1m³/h Oily Sludge Treatment System Driving Cost Reduction and Efficiency

Jan 08, 2026

In today's rapidly advancing petrochemical industry, treating oily sludge has emerged as a dual challenge for environmental compliance and sustainable growth. Traditional disposal methods—such as landfilling or incineration—are not only cost-prohibitive but also impose significant environmental burdens. Faced with increasingly stringent regulations and soaring hazardous waste disposal fees, enterprises are in urgent need of efficient, reliable solutions. KOSUN has addressed this demand with its independently developed 1m³/h Integrated Oily Sludge Treatment System. Leveraging mature processes and stable performance, this system is the premier choice for companies seeking to optimize costs and enhance operational efficiency.

 
Chemical Hot Washing Precise Stripping of Oil Contaminants
 
The core competitive edge of the KOSUN 1m³/h Oily Sludge Treatment System lies in its advanced chemical hot washing technology. This is far more than a simple high-temperature rinse; it utilizes KOSUN’s proprietary surfactants and cleaning agents under precisely controlled thermal conditions. This process effectively destabilizes the stubborn "water-oil-solid" emulsified structures, thoroughly neutralizing the adhesion between crude oil and solid particles. This revolutionary approach ensures maximum oil liberation from the solid matrix, providing a clean feedstock for subsequent separation.
 
Multi-stage Centrifugal Separation Guaranteed Treatment Performance
 
Following the chemical hot wash, the mixture is processed through high-efficiency multi-stage centrifugal units (including decanter and disc centrifuges). By optimizing the centrifugal force field, the system achieves precision three-phase separation:
 
Crude Oil Recovery and Valorization: The recovered light-phase crude oil maintains high purity and can be sold directly as refinery feedstock, generating immediate economic returns.
Water Resource Recirculation: Purified water is fed back into the system’s washing and heating stages, creating a closed-loop water cycle. This drastically cuts fresh water consumption and minimizes wastewater discharge costs.
Compliant Solid Disposal: The oil on cuttings of the treated solids is reduced to below 2%, well within standard hazardous waste landfill requirements. This significantly lowers downstream disposal costs and environmental liability.
 
Rapid ROI Significant Investment Cost Advantages
 
A standout feature of the KOSUN system is its exceptional Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) advantage and accelerated Return on Investment (ROI). The process is engineered for stability, with highly controlled energy and chemical consumption. By transforming "waste into wealth" through efficient oil recovery, the system delivers an ROI that far exceeds high-cost alternatives.
 
Versatile Applications Meeting Diverse Operational Needs
 
The KOSUN 1m³/h Oily Sludge Treatment System is engineered for a wide range of oily waste streams, making it the ideal solution for oilfields, storage facilities, and petrochemical plants:
 
Surface oily sludge from oilfield operations and equipment leakages.
Waste Oil-Based Mud (OBM) and Drill Cuttings from drilling activities.
Tank bottoms and sludge from the cleaning of storage tanks and tankers.
Sediment and oily silt from wastewater basins and emergency pits.
 
Compared to high-investment processes such as incineration or thermal desorption, KOSUN offers a lower cost of entry, higher ROI, and a shorter payback period. Choosing the KOSUN 1m³/h Oily Sludge Treatment System is a commitment to a green, efficient, and sustainable future, empowering enterprises to balance environmental stewardship with economic profitability.
