Oil & Wastewater Treatment for Petroleum Refineries

Petroleum refineries process large volumes of crude oil, generating wastewater that contains oil, grease, and hydrocarbons. Without proper treatment, this wastewater can cause environmental contamination and regulatory breaches.

Coalescing plate oil-water separators provide a high-efficiency solution for separating oil from water, ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Their modular design allows for the treatment of high flow rates, making them ideal for refinery operations. These separators help reduce environmental impact, improve wastewater management, and support sustainable operations.

Key Benefits

Petroleum refineries require high-performance wastewater treatment solutions to handle large volumes of oily runoff. Coalescing plate oil-water separators provide:

High-Efficiency Oil Separation – Removes oil, grease, and hydrocarbons from wastewater, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
Modular Design for High Flow Rates – Scalable to meet the demands of refinery wastewater treatment.
Environmental Compliance – Ensures discharged water meets strict industry standards, reducing pollution risks.
Stormwater & Bund Water Treatment – Prevents contamination from runoff in refinery storage and processing areas.

Refineries can reduce their environmental impact, prevent regulatory fines, and support sustainable water management practices by removing oil from wastewater.

Relevant Applications

Coalescing plate oil-water separators play a critical role in petroleum refinery wastewater management, particularly in the following applications:

Petroleum Depots – Removes oil from runoff at fuel storage and handling facilities.
Stormwater Treatment – Captures hydrocarbons in refinery stormwater runoff before discharge.
Tank Farms – Treats oil-contaminated water collected in storage tank containment areas.
Bund Water Treatment – Ensures safe discharge of water from spill containment systems.

These high-efficiency separators help refineries maintain compliance, reduce pollution risks, and improve overall wastewater management.
