Filter Tank for Silica Gel Sand: Complete Oil Decolorization System for Dark Diesel & Waste Oil
Created on 08.26
Introduction: The Equipment That Makes Silica Gel Sand Work
Silica gel sand is a highly effective material for decolorizing dark diesel, waste oil, and other dark-colored oils. But to achieve the best results, you need the right equipment to contain the sand, control the flow, and ensure efficient contact between the oil and the adsorbent.
The Filter Tank is designed specifically for this purpose. It works together with silica gel sand to lighten dark-colored oil, turning black or dark diesel into a light, transparent liquid. Available in multiple diameters and configurations—including single-tank and twin-tank systems—it is a complete, ready-to-use solution for oil decolorization and purification.
What Is the Filter Tank?
The Filter Tank is a cylindrical vessel designed to hold silica gel sand as the filter medium. Dark-colored oil is pumped into the tank, passes through the silica gel sand bed, and exits as a lighter, cleaner oil.
Key features:
- Designed specifically for use with silica gel sand
- Available in 800 mm, 1000 mm, and 1200 mm diameters
- Single-tank and twin-tank system options
- Explosion-proof motor for safe operation
- Centrifugal pump for reliable oil flow
- Complete system ready for installation and operation

How the Filter Tank Works with Silica Gel Sand
The Filter Tank and silica gel sand form a complete oil decolorization system. Here is how they work together:
Step 1: Load Silica Gel Sand
Silica gel sand is loaded into the filter tank. The sand bed acts as the adsorption medium.
Step 2: Pump Dark Oil Into the Tank
Dark-colored diesel or waste oil is pumped into the tank using the centrifugal pump.
Step 3: Oil Passes Through the Sand Bed
As the oil flows through the silica gel sand, pigments, oxides, impurities, and odors are adsorbed by the sand.
Step 4: Clean Oil Exits
The decolorized oil exits the tank as a light, transparent liquid that meets quality standards.
Step 5: Replace or Regenerate Sand
When the silica gel sand is saturated, it can be replaced or regenerated, depending on the application.
Main Applications
1. Diesel Oil Decolorization
The Filter Tank is primarily used with silica gel sand to lighten dark-colored diesel. It effectively removes pigments and impurities, restoring the oil to a clear, marketable condition.
2. Waste Oil Recycling
It is used for decolorizing and purifying waste engine oil, hydraulic oil, and lubricant oil. The system helps recover valuable oil from used products.
3. Base Oil and Industrial Oil Treatment
The Filter Tank can be used for base oil, plastic oil, and other industrial oil purification processes.
4. Oil Purification and Deodorization
Beyond color removal, the system also helps remove odors from reclaimed oil, producing a cleaner, more valuable end product.
Available Models: Which One Is Right for You?
Model | Diameter | Best For |
800 mm | Small-scale operations | Small workshops, trial production, low-volume processing |
1000 mm | Medium-scale operations | Medium-sized oil recycling businesses |
1000 mm Twin-tank | Higher throughput | Continuous operation, larger volume processing |
1200 mm | Large-scale operations | Industrial-scale oil decolorization |
1200 mm Twin-tank | Maximum throughput | High-volume continuous production |
Choosing the right model depends on:
- Your daily processing volume
- The type of oil you are treating
- Your available space
- Your power supply and safety requirements
Our technical team can help you select the most suitable model for your application.
