Definitions

  • the present invention relates to centrifugal decanters of the type having a rotatable bowl, the bowl being rotatable at a first angular velocity, and helical screw conveyor journalled within the bowl coaxially therewith, the helical screw conveyor being rotatable at a second angular velocity.
  • a centrifugal decanter is known from DE-B-1 295 494 .
  • sludge oil Large vessels, e.g. tankers, container carriers and cruise ships produce large quantities of sludge oil as a by-product/waste product.
  • An increasing awareness of the negative consequences of dumping the sludge oil has led to demands from authorities around the world to dispose the sludge oil properly or possibly refine it in order to reuse its useful components.
  • the pure fuel oil content of the sludge oil is in the order of 50 -70%, i.e. 500-700 tons per ship per year.
  • the sludge oil represents an economical loss of a considerable size when discarded, but also has a large economical potential if the fuel oil can be recovered from the sludge oil.
  • the value of the fuel oil content of the sludge oil is considered to be in the order of 90,000-126,000 US$ per year in 2005 prices for each ship.
  • sludge oil was formerly dumped in the ocean; a practice that is now forbidden globally under international treaties due to its severe environmental impact.
  • Today sludge oil is landed and disposed of, diluted with fuel oil, and burned, or it is partly regenerated, e.g. in advanced separators.
  • vertically oriented centrifugal separators placed on board the ships are applied for separating the component of the sludge oil.
  • these separators have prohibitively high operational and service/maintenance costs, because they require round-the-clock surveillance and constant manual attendance.
  • such vertical separators due to their mode of operation, have difficulty in obtaining high dry matter content in their discharges, thus leaving large quantities of waste product, so called super sludge.
  • centrifugal decanters Also known in the prior art are horizontally oriented centrifugal decanters. Such devices improve the efficiency considerably and reduce the operation costs of the separation of the components of sludge oil.
  • centrifugal decanters consist of a bowl, rotatably arranged about a horizontal axis, and a helical screw conveyor, coaxially and rotatably journalled within the bowl.
  • the bowl usually comprises a cylindrical part and a conical part. Outlet openings are disposed at the terminal end of the conical part in order to lead the heavier components of the separated compound treated in the decanter away. At the opposite end of the decanter, the terminal end of the cylindrical part comprises a weir, over which the lighter components of the treated compound may flow.
  • the screw conveyor comprises a shaft and helical screw.
  • the outer diameter of the helical screw is adjusted to the inner diameter of the bowl in such a way that a small distance is provided there between in order to allow rotation of the screw conveyor with respect to the bowl.
  • An inlet passage for the compound to be treated is arranged within the shaft, the inlet passage terminating in openings through the shaft-wall where the compound to be treated can enter the decanter bowl.
  • the bowl and the screw conveyor are arranged in such a way that they can rotate coaxially but independently of each other.
  • the bowl is rotated at a first angular velocity in such a way that the centrifugal acceleration is greater than the acceleration due to gravity, causing a compound to be treated in the decanter and fed through the inlet passage to be pressed against the inner side of the bowl.
  • High-density particles and materials will precipitate closest to the wall and lighter density particles on top of these.
  • the helical screw conveyor is rotated at a second angular velocity different from the angular velocity of the bowl, the first angular velocity.
  • the relative rotation between the bowl and the screw conveyor causes the high-density material precipitated closest to the wall to be transported towards the conical part of the bowl and outlet openings, due to the pitch of the screw.
  • the weir is arranged at a larger diameter than the outlet openings.
  • the centrifugal decanter separates the high-density components from the low-density components of the compound fed into the decanter. If the compound is a liquid containing solids, the concentration of solids in the liquid compound exiting the outlet openings will be much higher than in the compound entering the decanter, and correspondingly the liquid compound flowing over the weir will have a much lower concentration of solid parts than the compound entering the decanter.
  • the traditional horizontal centrifugal decanters have some disadvantages.
  • the injected compound will splash into the already precipitated and separated compound which is in the process of being transported towards the outlet opening and/or the weir, thereby causing a mixing of the components of the compound, which will reduce the efficiency of the separation process.
  • the present invention is based on the realization that this problem constitutes a limiting factor to the efficiency of the separation process of traditional horizontal centrifugal decanters.
  • centrifugal decanter that solves the problems of the prior art, and improves the efficiency of the separation process. It is a further object to provide an alternative centrifugal decanter. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a centrifugal decanter that can be applied in the field of sludge oil regeneration. It is yet a further object to provide a centrifugal decanter that can extract from sludge oil, a fuel oil component pure enough to be utilized in ships engines to propel e.g. a ship. It is a further object to provide a centrifugal decanter efficient enough to separate in general a liquid-liquid solution. It is a further object of the invention to provide a centrifugal decanter having an increased capacity.
  • centrifugal decanter according to the invention, the amount of dry component removed from the sludge oil is increased by more than 50 %, thus considerably reducing the amount of super sludge.
  • An increase in dry component recovery is also found for other treated liquids over the prior art decanters.
  • the capacity of the centrifugal decanter thus being increased further provides for a more flexible centrifugal decanter in such a way that the same capacity can be obtained by a much smaller decanter with respect to a prior art decanter, or if using the same size decanter, a much higher capacity is achieved.
  • the second helical screw extends over the entire length of the cylindrical part of the bowl.
  • inlet openings are disposed in the end of the shaft facing the weir.
  • the screw conveyor comprises two or more additional helical screws.
  • the bowl is rotatable at a first angular velocity
  • the screw conveyor is rotatable at a second angular velocity
  • centrifugal decanter thereby achieved is so efficient that it is specifically applicable for sludge oil separation.
  • the invention further concerns an installation comprising a centrifugal decanter, an engine, and a fuel oil tank wherein the installation is adapted to lead fuel oil regenerated from sludge oil in the centrifugal decanter to the fuel oil tank.
  • the installation is disposed in a ship.
  • the installation may also be disposed in a land-based power station.

  • the compound to be treated is injected from e.g. a tank (not shown) to the inlet passage 31 indicated by the arrow 50, and into the bowl 10 through the inlet openings 32 as indicated by the arrows 51.

  • the compound to be treated is injected into the rotating bowl 10
  • the compound level quickly exceeds the small distance between the helical screw 40 and the bowl 10.

  • this channel is illustrated as a stretched-out channel 60.
  • the compound will start to flow over the weir 14 as indicated by arrow 52 in Figs.1A and 1B . Due to the rotation about the central axis A of the bowl 10 the compound will be at least partly separated in such a way that the high-density components are now positioned close to the inner wall of the wall, and the lighter-density components will be precipitated closer to the shaft 30, due to the centrifugal force.
  • the high-density material is indicated by the dark area 61 in the bottom of channel 60 and the light-density material is the lightly shaded material 62 in the top part of the channel 60. It will be appreciated that the light-density material 62 will flow over the weir 14.

  • the continuous transportation of high-density material will force the material to be expelled through the openings 13 as indicated by arrows 53.
  • the injection of the compound into the bowl 10 (indicated by arrow 51) into the channel 60 at a certain pressure will create turbulence in material in the channel 60 and at least partially counteract the separation of the constituent components of the compound.
