Improve wastewater treatment. J.W. Guida and D.E. Fruge. Hydrocarbon Processing, August 1995, 74(8), 55--60.

Improving the cost-effectiveness of a CITGO refinery in Louisiana is described. This is achieved by replacing the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The impact of federal and state regulations on plant design is discussed and WWTP design data are tabulated. Unpolluted storm water is diverted to minimize the size and operating cost of the treating plant. The WWTP is described and illustrated. Processing steps include collection, inline pH adjustment, removal of oil and solids, evaporative cooling, equalization, biological treatment, slop-oil treatment, and sludge removal. A modular approach provides flexibility and additional separation units can be added to meet future demands. 3 refs.
