Sludge is solid waste produced during oil extraction, transportation and storage, which contains large amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals and other harmful substances. Traditional sludge treatment methods mainly include incineration, landfilling and solidification, but these methods are difficult to completely solve the environmental pollution problem. In recent years, with the advancement of science and technology, soil washing and repair equipment has been widely used in sludge treatment. This article will introduce the principle, scope of application and application effect of soil washing repair equipment in sludge treatment.

Soil washing and restoration equipment is a type of equipment that uses chemical washing agents to dissolve harmful substances in the soil, and then collects and processes them through hydraulic or pneumatic power. The principle is to spray a certain concentration of chemical eluent evenly on the soil contaminated by oil sludge, causing it to chemically react with the pollutants, dissolve the pollutants, and then collect and process them centrally through drainage pipes or gas collection pipes.

This equipment is suitable for large-area, shallow, lightly contaminated soil remediation, and is especially effective in treating sludge containing a large amount of petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals. However, pretreatment may be required for sludge treatment that contains large amounts of suspended solids or high concentrations of harmful substances.

Application of soil washing and repair equipment in sludge treatment

Work flow: The work flow of soil washing and repair equipment in sludge treatment mainly includes the following steps:

(1) On-site investigation: Conduct on-site investigation of oil sludge contaminated areas to understand the degree of pollution, types of pollutants, soil characteristics, etc.

(2) Plan design: Based on the on-site investigation results, formulate corresponding eluent usage plans and equipment operation procedures.

(3) Equipment installation: According to the design requirements of the plan, install facilities such as washing equipment, drainage pipes, and gas collection pipes.

(4) Elution treatment: According to the concentration and operation process designed in the plan, the chemical eluent is evenly sprayed on the soil contaminated by oil sludge to cause a chemical reaction with the pollutants and dissolve the pollutants.

(5) Wastewater and waste gas treatment: Collect and process the wastewater and waste gas generated after the chemical eluent reaction to avoid secondary pollution.

(6) Effect testing: Conduct sampling testing on the treated soil to evaluate the remediation effect.

Application effect: The application effect of soil washing and repair equipment in sludge treatment is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

(1) It can effectively remove harmful substances such as petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals in the soil and reduce their harm to the environment.

(2) The treatment efficiency is high and it can quickly clean up large areas of sludge pollution.

(3) The operation is simple and the technical requirements for personnel are low.

(4) The processing cost is relatively low and has certain economic benefits.

Progress and challenges of sludge treatment technology

At present, the research and application of sludge treatment technology at home and abroad are still developing and improving. In terms of soil washing remediation equipment, there are mainly the following developments and challenges:

Progress: With the improvement of environmental protection requirements and the development of technology, the performance and efficiency of soil washing and restoration equipment have been significantly improved, and new washing agents and composite treatment technologies have also been widely used. The development of these technologies and equipment provides a more reliable means for sludge treatment.

Challenge: Although soil washing remediation equipment has good results in sludge treatment, it also has certain limitations and challenges. For example, heavily polluted areas may require multiple rinses, resulting in higher treatment costs; at the same time, the selection and treatment of eluents is also a difficult problem, and secondary pollution may occur if not handled properly. In addition, the installation and use of equipment require certain technical support, which may be difficult for some remote areas or developing countries.

The application of soil washing and repair equipment in sludge treatment has good treatment effects and high efficiency, but it also has certain limitations and challenges in practical applications. In the future, we should continue to pay attention to and study the development and application of this technology, improve the performance and processing efficiency of equipment, reduce processing costs, and provide more reliable technical support for sludge treatment and environmental protection. At the same time, we should also strengthen the formulation and improvement of relevant policies and technical standards to promote the standardization and resource utilization of sludge treatment.
