The Treatment of Oil in Refinery Wastewater in South East Asia (original) (raw)

Water Science and Technology, 1986

Abstract

In response to more severe pollution control regulations and from a desire to reduce pollution levels, oil industry installations are having to re-examine their effluent treatment facilities. Options for upgrading the quality of effluent discharged include: improvements in water management to decrease volumes of effluent produced in processes; modifications to existing effluent treatment plant both in performance and operating procedures by the installation of new components or the replacement of individual units; and the installation of completely new effluent treatment facilities using the latest technology. In most existing plants considerable increases in efficiency can be brought about at relatively low cost by the correct application of a range of options. Where new installations are being constructed valuable lessons may be learned by examining the problems that are occurring in plants already in operation. Improvements may thus be made on existing designs.
