270㎡ Filter Press Shipped to the USA

Recently, a complete 270㎡ large-scale filter press system customized by our company for a US client successfully completed production, commissioning, and inspection, and was officially loaded and shipped to the project site. This equipment is specifically designed for petroleum industry wastewater treatment, and is professionally designed for the client’s high-alkalinity wastewater conditions (pH value approximately 11), ensuring stable system operation, high dewatering efficiency, and compliance with local environmental emission standards.

Project Background

The petroleum industry generates large amounts of oily sludge and wastewater with high suspended solids during refining, drilling, and equipment cleaning processes. This type of wastewater typically has the following characteristics:

• High pH (approximately 11), exhibiting strong alkalinity
• High oil content, with severe emulsification
• High suspended solids content
• High viscosity makes dewatering difficult

Under these operating conditions, higher requirements are placed on the structural strength, corrosion resistance, filtration pressure, and automation level of the filter press system.

Core Equipment Configuration

270㎡filter press

• Filtration Area: 270 square meters
• Filter Plate Material: Reinforced Polypropylene (Alkali and Corrosion Resistant)
• Compression Method: Hydraulic Automatic Compression
• Automatic Plate Pulling and Unloading System for Improved Operating Efficiency

This filter press is optimized for the characteristics of fine particles and sludge in petroleum wastewater, ensuring the formation of a dense filter cake structure and improving solid-liquid separation efficiency.

Slurry pump system

To ensure stable transport of high-concentration sludge, a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant slurry pump is provided:

• Adaptable to high viscosity and high solids content operating conditions
• Flow rate and head matched to filter press feed requirements

The slurry pump and filter press work together efficiently to ensure uniform and stable feeding and improve filtration cycle efficiency.

Belt conveyor system (filter cake conveying)

A horizontal belt conveyor is installed below the filter press for automatic filter cake collection:

• Continuous conveying, reducing manual intervention
• Oil-proof and corrosion-resistant design

Facilitates subsequent transportation or resource utilization

Inclined belt conveyor

• To accommodate the site layout, the system is equipped with an inclined belt conveyor:
• Achieving filter cake lifting and conveying
• Can be directly connected to silos or transport vehicles
• Reducing on-site accumulation and the risk of secondary pollution

Factory Inspection and Shipping Process

Before shipment, the equipment undergoes the following:

• No-load trial run test
• Hydraulic system pressure test
• Electrical control system linkage debugging

All equipment is packaged strictly according to export standards:

• The main unit is protected against water and rust
• Vulnerable parts are individually reinforced and packaged：
• The electrical control cabinet is treated with shockproof and moisture-proof measures

Ensuring the equipment remains safe and undamaged during long-distance sea transport.

Conclusion

The successful shipment of this complete 270 square meter filter press to the United States marks another successful achievement for our company in the field of filter press equipment for petroleum industry wastewater treatment. In the future, we will continue to provide global customers with efficient, stable, and energy-saving filter press solutions, contributing to industrial wastewater treatment and environmental upgrades.
