Paint Sludge Recovery
Centrifuge separation technology is needed for paint sludge separation. If not, paint sludge separation applications are more prone to frequent maintenance downtime associated with the paint sludge, extra labor shifts cleaning or making up production for booth downtime, and high cost of contaminated booth water or wet sludge removal and disposal.
Sludge disposal and treatment enable operators to reduce disposal costs and improve the recovering of valuable oil and clean water. Sludge application need decanter centrifuge and centrifuge filtration-clarification systems to properly separate and treat sludge from liquid processes.
Benefits
Centrifugal sludge removal systems should strongly be considered when the following conditions exist with a water wash spray booth:
- Frequent maintenance down time associated with paint sludge.
- Extra working shifts cleaning or making up production for booth downtime.
- High cost of contaminated booth water and / or wet sludge removal and disposal.
Three important steps to achieving the desired results:
- Correct sludge system design for the booth and centrifuge application.
- Selecting the right centrifuge model to effectively handle the paint load.
- Proper chemical program applied for the specific paint type and usage.
US Centrifuge Systems can help you with all three steps to insure a successful installation!

Beyond the Centrifuge (OPS)
US Centrifuge Systems expanded its research and development in 2000 with a successful waste-to-energy system to significantly reduce the cost of sludge disposal that converts up 8 tons of waste within one hour of operation into renewable energy. Sister company Organic Power Solutions was born due to the enormous discovery, and now, high-value co-products are created and used in the production of in-house renewable energy, or sold to third-party energy companies.
