CHARACTERISATION
These streams can be characterised into two
groups as follows:
Slops:
Sludge:
Pumpable
Un-pumpable
Solids < 1,5% m/m Solids > 35% m/m
Water 30% - 60% v/v
Water 10% - 20%
Specific Gravity <1 Specific Gravity >1
RECOVERY
SLOPS:
Pumped overboard
Either into a barge or a
road tanker on the
wharf side
The quantity of oil
generated is typically
0,5% of vessels fuel
used
The typical recoverable
oil in slops is >95%
The cost per tonne of oil
recovered is relatively
low
SLUDGE:
DISPOSAL
UTILISATION
SLOPS:
Has a high usable oil content, and recovery and
dewatering can be practically and economically carried
out. The recovered oil can be either:
UTILISATION
SLUDGE:
The sludge can be utilised as is, in:
Cement manufacture (Fe & Al content beneficial)
Clay brick manufacture (replaces coal)
And not much else!
However some useful oil can generally be recovered
from the sludge. This has the advantage of reducing
the volume of waste and renders the sludge more
acceptable for disposal
But at considerable cost
DISPOSAL
SLOPS:
SOLIDS (sludge):
The removal of the inorganic solids from slops
produces a sludge as there is usually some associated
oil remaining.
This sludge can be less than 60% oil by mass
And would typically account for less than 5% by mass
of the oil in the slops received.
WATER:
The water can be
