Course Description

introduction

The petroleum refining and petrochemical industries inevitably produce significant volumes of wastewater. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the growing scarcity of freshwater resources, efficient wastewater management and reuse have become critical challenges. Addressing these challenges is essential for every oil refinery and petrochemical company to ensure compliance and sustainability.

This 5-Day Advanced Wastewater Treatment for Oil Refineries & Petrochemical Plants training course by Demoura Lawson Consulting, under the Oil & Gas Technology series, is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the latest wastewater treatment methods. These include flotation, coagulation, biological treatment, membrane separation, combined technology, and advanced oxidation processes. By mastering these techniques, participants will enhance the profitability of petroleum refining and petrochemical operations while meeting strict environmental standards.

Participants will gain practical knowledge of various configurations and techniques used in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) specific to oil refining and petrochemical industries. This understanding will be reinforced through hands-on exercises and real-world case studies.

This training course provides both theoretical and practical insights on:
  • Typical sources and contaminants of wastewater in oil refining and petrochemical industries
  • Impacts and benefits of refinery and petrochemical Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP)
  • Conventional and advanced wastewater treatment technologies
  • Current advancements in wastewater recycling and reuse (Zero Liquid Discharge - ZLD)

objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
  • Understand the purpose, principles, and limitations of various wastewater treatment technologies in oil refining and petrochemical industries
  • Establish high recovery rates for wastewater reuse onsite, reducing freshwater intake and ensuring regulatory compliance
  • Implement cost-effective, advanced technologies to reduce waste volume and achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
  • Optimize the energy efficiency and operational costs of wastewater treatment facilities
  • Identify industry-standard targets for wastewater prior to discharge or reuse
  • Evaluate the environmental impact of pollution and modify treatment processes accordingly
  • Enhance the operability and reliability of treatment equipment

Training Methodology

This highly interactive training course combines lectures, discussions, and case studies to maximize the transfer of knowledge and experience. The sessions will encourage participants to raise pertinent questions and collaboratively find the best solutions. Indoor experiential activities, along with course materials presented via PowerPoint with animations, videos, and general discussions, will further enhance learning.

Organizational Impact

  • Equip technical staff with the necessary skills for wastewater treatment design, operation, and analysis
  • Ensure the selection of appropriate wastewater treatment technologies
  • Improve communication and understanding when working with WWTP vendors and consultants
  • Enhance competence in new and revamped wastewater process projects

personal Impact

  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of wastewater treatment processes in refineries and petrochemical plants, including pollutant removal and measurement
  • Foster creativity in selecting and specifying new wastewater treatment plants
  • Develop the ability to troubleshoot and improve existing wastewater facilities
  • Stay updated with the latest advancements in wastewater treatment technologies
