Comprehensive wastewater treatment for downstream oil and gas operations including refineries, petrochemical plants, and gas processing facilities with complex effluent treatment.
Treat drilling muds, cuttings wash water and site runoff. Solid-liquid separation and water recycling for drilling operations.
Oil and gas wastewater treatment for produced water treatment.
Sour water and desalter effluent treatment for petroleum refineries.
ATEX-certified wastewater treatment equipment for explosive atmospheres in oil, gas and petrochemical facilities.
Complex Wastewater from Processing Operations
Downstream oil and gas operations generate complex wastewater streams containing oil, phenols, sulphides, ammonia, heavy metals, and high organic loads. Our integrated treatment solutions address each contaminant class through proven processes, ensuring compliance with stringent discharge regulations while maximising water reuse opportunities. Sour-water stripping, biological treatment and advanced polishing are combined to address each contaminant class in sequence. Reynolds & Bauhm tune the train to the refinery or plant’s specific load so it meets tightening consents while recovering water for reuse.
