This book was released on 1983 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This research project was designed to identify process wastewaters which contained a significant proportion of the total load of contaminants in petroleum refinery wastewaters and to evaluate methods for intensively treating these highly concentrated low volume streams. In addition, selected waste residues from API gravity separator, dissolved air flotation units, and "slop" oil emulsions were analyzed to determine the presence of hazardous chemicals as listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Solid Waste. Process wastewaters from the fluid catalytic cracking units, crude desalting unit, coking unit, and barometric condenser contained the highest levels of contaminants. These process wastewater streams were major contributors to the total load of phenol, ammonia, sulfide, and organic carbon contamination of the combined refinery wastewaters. On-site evaluations of mixed media filtration-activated carbon adsorption and a biological oxidation system indicated both systems were capable of reducing phenol, sulfide, and organic carbon levels by greater than 90 percent."

Download or read book Treatment of Petroleum Refinery Wastewater with Constructed Wetlands written by Hassana Ibrahim Mustapha and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollution of waterbodies and the environment by petroleum industry is of particular concern in Nigeria. This problem can be addressed by the application of constructed wetlands (CWs) which is a nature-based system that is simple to construct, have low operational and maintenance costs in terms of supply of energy and its periodic maintenance. The application of CWs in Nigeria for polishing of petroleum refinery wastewater is an unprecedented research. This PhD thesis focused on some specific objectives which were characterization of treated secondary refinery wastewater, design, construction, operation and monitoring of planted (T. latifolia, C. alternifolius and C. dactylon) and unplanted vertical subsurface flow, horizontal subsurface flow and hybrid CWs for the removal of suspended solids, nutrients, heavy metals, organic matter and organic pollutants. The CWs effectively treated the petroleum contaminated wastewater to effluent compliance limits. In this study, T. latifolia planted CWs had consistently higher removal efficiencies for all the measured parameters than C. alternifolius and C. dactylon planted CW systems. Therefore, in order to improve the wastewater quality discharged by Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) Nigeria, meet stringent guidelines and protect the recipient streams, installation of CWs at the effluent discharge point of KRPC is strongly recommended.
