Complex Wastewater from Petrochemical Production
Petrochemical plants produce a wide range of chemicals from petroleum feedstocks, generating complex wastewater streams with high organic content, aromatic compounds, and process chemicals. Our treatment systems address the specific challenges of petrochemical wastewater with advanced biological and physical-chemical processes for compliant discharge. Equalisation, advanced biological treatment and tertiary polishing combine to break down aromatics and complex organics to consent. We design each train around the plant’s specific product slate and effluent profile for dependable, long-term compliance.
Advanced advanced biological treatment achieving 90%+ COD reduction for complex petrochemical effluents.
Specialised processes for benzene, toluene, xylene, and other aromatic compound removal.
Efficient oil and hydrocarbon removal from process wastewater and equipment drainage.
Advanced treatment enabling process water recycling and reduced freshwater consumption.
