Book synopsis

Considering the vast amounts of water used in a refinery, wastewater treatment constitutes a very significant supporting process for safe operation. The four types of refinery wastewater include cooling water, process water and steam, storm water, and sanitary sewage water. Among these, the most heavily polluted wastewater stream that requires serious treatment is the process water and steam that come into direct contact with petroleum fractions. Storm water may be contaminated because of incidental exposure to pollutant sources on refinery surfaces and accidental spills. Cooling water and sanitary sewage water may not require much treatment before they are sent to public water treatment facilities. One rule of thumb is to avoid mixing different types of wastewater streams to reduce the load on the treatment units. Pollutants found in the wastewater streams include hydrocarbons with particular concern for toxic aromatic compounds, such as benzene; heteroatom compounds, such as mercaptans.
