Refinery Wastewater Management Using Multiple Angle Oil-Water Separators
REFINERY WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT USING MULTIPLE ANGLE OIL-WATER SEPARATORS Kirby S. Mohr, P.E. Mohr Separations Research, Inc. 1278 FM 407 Suite 109 Lewisville, TX 75077 Phone: 918-299-9290 Cell: 918-269-8710 John N. Veenstra, Ph.D., P.E., Oklahoma State University Dee Ann Sanders, Ph.D., P.E. Oklahoma State University A paper presented at the International Petroleum Environment Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1998 ABSTRACT In this work, an overview of oil-water separation, as used in the petroleum refining industries, is presented along with case studies. Discussions include: impact of solids, legal aspects, and differing types of systems currently in use, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Performance information on separators is presented with an emphasis on new multiple angle coalescing plate technology for refinery wastewater management. Several studies are presented including a large (20,000 US GPM flow rate) system recently installed at a major US refinery. The separator was constructed by converting two existing API separators into four separators, and adding multiple angle coalescing plates to increase throughput and efficiency. A year of operating experience with this system indicates good performance and few problems. Other examples provide information on separators installed in the United States and other countries. Keywords: Oil-water separator, multiple angle, coalescence, refinery, wastewater management, petroleum, coalescing plate technology BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION Oil has been refined for various uses for at least 1000 years. An Arab handbook written by Al-Razi, in approximately 865 A.D., describes distillation of “naft” (naphtha) for use in lamps and thus the beginning of oil refining (Forbes).

Recent Patents on Chemical Engineering, 2008, 1, 17-26 17 New Technologies for Water and Wastewater Treatment: A Survey of Recent Patents Berrin Tansel* Florida International University, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Engineering Center 3600, Miami, Florida 33174, USA Received: July 31, 2007; Accepted: September 19, 2007; Revised: November 12, 2007 Abstract: The concern over increasing needs for drinking water and awareness for development of systems to improve water quality both for drinking purposes and for effluents from wastewater treatment and industrial facilities have provided incentives to develop new technologies and improve performance of existing technologies. In this paper, the patents on treatment of water and wastewater approved during the period from 1999 to 2007 were reviewed. The patents surveyed were classified into two groups as technologies for water purification systems for drinking water, and technologies for treatment of wastewater. An assessment of the current and future outlook for development of new technologies, methods of treatment, equipment and instruments which can be used for water and wastewater treatment applications are presented. Keywords: Water treatment, water filtration, ultrapure water, wastewater treatment, ion exchange, disinfection, sorption, membrane filtration, nanofiltration, wastewater. 1. INTRODUCTION 2. WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS FOR DRINKING Water is an essential substance for living systems as it WATER allows the transport of nutrients and waste products in living The general treatment of drinking water takes place in systems. Research shows a clear correlation between several steps to remove dissolved and suspended solids. The diseases and the amount and types of fluids consumed, treatment processes may include processes such as floccu- health-promoting properties of nutrients which can be added to water, optimal intake levels, and consumption patterns.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. ABSTRACT This review suggests the concept of the best available technology of water/wastewater treatment and seawater desalina- tion which is in fact a simulation of the seawater distillation at the open sky: coagulation in salty water aerated basin/ coagulation using seawater as coagulant solution with distillation using stored solar energy followed by waterfall on a natural mountain. This natural, green, and technico-economical technology is composed of three steps: the first one is coagulation which may be achieved: 1) in salty water aerated basin (air stripping, AS; dissolved air flotation, DAF) where the raw water is “diluted” in seawater; or 2) in “conventional” coagulation using seawater as coagulant solution instead of alum/ferric salts. The first option seems to be more natural as it simulates river water dilution in seawater and the second one is more practical for “rapid” water consummation. For colloids and microorganisms’ removal, double- layer compression and charge neutralisation, as main coagulation and disinfection mechanisms, would be involved in the first and second options, respectively.

From Microbubbles to Nanobubbles: Effect on Flotation
processes Review From Microbubbles to Nanobubbles: Effect on Flotation George Z. Kyzas 1,* , Athanasios C. Mitropoulos 1 and Kostas A. Matis 2,* 1 Department of Chemistry, International Hellenic University, 65404 Kavala, Greece; [email protected] 2 Division of Chemical Technology & Industrial Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece * Correspondence: [email protected] (G.Z.K.); [email protected] (K.A.M.); Tel.: +30-2510462218 (G.Z.K.) Abstract: Attachment of particles and droplets to bubbles—the latter being of various fine sizes and created by different techniques (as described in detail)—forms the basis of flotation, a process which indeed was originated from mineral processing. Nevertheless, chemistry often plays a significant role in this area, in order for separation to be effective, as stressed. This (brief) review particularly discusses wastewater treatment applications and the effect of bubble size (from nano- to micro-) on the flotation process. Keywords: dispersed-air; dissolved-air; electroflotation; wastewaters; effluents; particles 1. Flotation—Introduction Flotation originated initially from the mineral-processing field, since for many years various particulate solids (besides minerals) have been extracted from water by using this effective separation method [1]. Flotation, depending on the method used to generate the bubbles, is classified as follows: dispersed-air flotation (DispAF), dissolved-air flotation Citation: Kyzas, G.Z.; Mitropoulos, (DAF), and electroflotation [2–4]. In DispAF, compressed air is forced through pores of A.C.; Matis, K.A. From Microbubbles sintered-glass discs in order to produce bubbles with diameters usually ranging from 75 to Nanobubbles: Effect on Flotation.

Methods: The required amounts of sludge samples were collected from a wastewater treatment plant and kept at temperature of 4°C. Variables, such as pressure (3, 5, and 7 atm), flotation time (5 and 10 minutes), ultrasonic irradiation power (0, 75, and 150 W), and presence/absence of Fe-based coagulant were considered on a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) included coagulation, flotation, and sonication processes, respectively. Results: The use of ultrasonic waves led to an insignificant increase in the DAF efficiency (P > 0.05), however, the application of coagulant significantly increased the thickening efficiency (P < 0.05).
