Public image along with stricter discharge legislation and associated costs are encouraging refineries to recycle and/or reuse water. Some are moving to a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) model.
Recycling/Reuse & Zero Liquid Discharge for Refineries
Recycle or reuse
- Tertiary clarification (Actiflo™)
- Filtration
- Multimedia filtration (Whittier Filtration, standard systems: Multimat™, Crown Solutions)
- Innovative technologies such as 3FM™ high performance filtration - Membrane technologies
- Microfiltration (standard solutions: Crown Solutions)
- Ultrafiltration (standard solutions: Uflex™, Crown Solutions)
- Reverse Osmosis (standard solutions: Multipure™, Crown Solutions) - Membrane Bioreactors (standard solutions: Biosep™ Pack)
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) techniques produce a high quality distillate that can be recycled. ZLD meets the needs of refineries where discharge is impossible or expensive or where refineries require a guaranteed water supply.
- Reverse osmosis (brine concentration)
- Evaporation (HPD, Entropie (falling-film, rising-film, MVR), LED Italia)
- Crystallisation (HPD)
