Waste management for refineries and petrochemistry
Refineries and petrochemical facilities generate process water with high levels of oils, hydrocarbons and chemicals. Flows such as wash water, oil emulsions, sludge and residual batches vary in composition and require robust waste management. Strict discharge requirements and high destruction costs make efficient handling and volume reduction critical.
Why refineries and petrochemicals require stable waste management
Refineries and petrochemical facilities handle complex waste streams that vary in content. Without effective waste management, these streams risk negatively impacting CO₂ emissions, compliance, and costs.
Emulsions
Process water often contains stable oil emulsions that are difficult to break down with conventional methods.
Discarded batches
During operational disruptions or quality deviations, batches arise that cannot be returned to production. These quickly become large waste volumes that need to be managed.
Oil spills
Refineries and petrochemical facilities handle large quantities of oils and hydrocarbons, which means a constant risk of spills. Even minor spills require immediate handling and create waste streams that need to be treated.
Transport and CO₂ emissions
Liquid waste is often transported to external facilities for destruction. This results in both high costs and increased CO₂ emissions.
