Dewatering Technology for Sludge and Slurries (1)
It is now possible to offer various alternative
technologies, designed by leaders in their respective fields, to assist in
identifying real solutions to reduce the ever-increasing production of sludge
and slurries from differing industrial processes.
This American group, with offices located globally, has
its roots in the oil drilling industry has developed different technologies to
deal with the real threat to the marine and land-based environments from oil
field activities producing huge volumes of liquefied solids. Therefore their
solids control and waste management solutions have, overtime, evolved and been
adapted for use in other industries.
Within their product
line and services you will find:
Thermal Phase
Separation™ (TPS) Technology
TPS is not a dewatering system
to be classified in the conventional meaning of dewatering sludge and slurries
etc, as its efficiency and cost effectiveness depends on a feedstock of less
than 12% oil and very small water contents. The recovery of water from water
based slurries is undertaken by chemical enhanced centrifuging as a separate
process altogether.
This advanced thermal
remediation process technology is highly efficient for reclaiming and
minimising waste and preparing solids for disposal. TPS technology has a proven
record of superior performance in treating hydrocarbon-contaminated soils,
sludge, sediments etc. This is NOT a method of incineration. It is a two-stage
phase separation process based on the principle of indirectly heated thermal
desorption. TPS processing removes 99% of hydrocarbons from the feedstock, with
less than 2% solids in the recovered fluid. TPS technology is proven,
commercially viable and suitable for use in most locations around the globe.
The Govt. of Canada’s Environmental Technology Verification Programme has
certified it. It has also been rigorously tested by Environment Canada’s
Demonstration and Evaluation of Site Remediation Technology (DESRT) Programme,
which is similar to the US EPA S.I.T.E programme for evaluation of site
technologies.

Control Training and Evaluation
This group has the facilities and expertise to adapt any
technology to meet your specific requirements. The evaluation and feasibility
of meeting your needs, while reducing your capital and operating costs is their
prime consideration. Their research and development background will be of great
advantage to your operation, in this climate of increasing environmental
legislation for environmental protection and pollution control.
MPCEE has discussed in detail with its American HQ, along with
senior European personnel the potential marketplace for their technology, which
includes the identification of their technology for the pulp and paper,
wastewater and other industrial operations where the increase in sludge and
slurries are becoming a major environmental problem.
