Water treatment in refineries and petrochemical plants : refining petrochemicals and gas processing techniques

Engineers get an assessment of the sources of pollution and a summary of the techniques used in pollution control and cooling systems. This book aims to introduce waste water and cooling water treatments to student and graduate engineers in the oil and chemical industries. It is based on oil industrial impletmentation of these treatments and describes operators' experiences in running their own facilities in a number of plants. An introduction to the vocabulary and chemistry of waste water purification with a discussion of the organic polutants the era inherent to the oil industry Case studies of five leading French refineries A chapter dealing with the different types of spent caustic and how treatment can be improved Engineers get an assessment of the sources of pollution and a summary of the techniques used in pollution control and cooling systems. Presents an assessment of the sources of pollution and a summary of the techniques used in pollution control and cooling systems. This book aims to introduce waste water and cooling water treatments to student and graduate engineers in the oil and chemical industries. It is based on oil industrial implementation of these treatments. Pure natural water is defined as containing no suspended solids (SS), colloids, or dissolved organic matter (this is true for mineral waters and many types of well water).
