Separation facility

A company specializing in extracting water from sludge and processing contaminated sludge from the petrochemicals industry uses several Boerger Rotary Lobe Pumps in a mobile separation system.

The entire separation is gas proof. The nitrogen used is for increasing the safety. The oil sludge to be purified is pumped to a centrifuge with a Boerger Rotary Lobe Pump. Using the centrifuge, oil and water are separated from the sludge. Two additional Boerger Rotary Lobe Pumps convey both the separated oil and the water to the intended containers. The customer wanted to have compact pumps in the mobile separation facility. The customer was impressed with the Boerger Rotary Lobe Pumps due to the high processing quality and in particular, the low maintenance design. In a few steps, the pumps can be repaired by the customer's in-house personnel. The pumps are built as ATEX models due to the explosive protection zone in the separation facility.
