Reuse of Refinery Treated Wastewater in Cooling Towers
Authors
Abstract:
In this report, experimental investigation of waste water treatment by reverse osmosis to enable its reuse in cooling tower is presented. A polyamide spiral wound RO membrane followed by three filters as RO pretreatment (two activated carbon and one cartridge filter) and samples of Tehran refinery treated waste water have been used. The effect of operating conditions such as pressure difference, temperature and feed concentration on permeation flux, permeate concentration and fouling have been studied. The results show that continuous operation with a pressure difference of 6 bar and a temperature of 30 °C are the best operating conditions. Analysis of the water treated by RO represents 95 %, 100 %, 93 % and 97 % reduction in TDS, TH, Cl- and SiO2, respectively. Comparison between the treated wastewater analysis and city water used in cooling tower as make up water shows the suitability of reverse osmosis method for the above mentioned purpose.

0 A tremendous amount of material has been written about wastewater treatment and reuse in recent years. This is partly due to the constantly changing technology in the field. Controversy surrounding the promulgation of regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and subsequent revisions, have added to the confusion. The purpose of this article is to attempt to tie this mass of in...

This paper presents a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for the optimal design of mechanical counter-flow cooling towers, subjected to standard design constraints. The objective function consists of the minimization of the total annual cost, which includes the capital cost of the cooling tower (that depends on the filling material and the air flowrate) and the operating cost (th...

Background and Objectives: Petrochemical wastewater contains some kinds of toxic substances but if the effluent is treated properly, its reuse will be possible. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of wastewater treatment of Shazand Petrochemical Corporation and feasibility of its effluent reuse in green space irrigation and cooling towers. Materials and Methods: In this descrip...
full textInvestigation of corrosion caused by constituents of refinery wastewater effluent used as circulating cooling water.
The corrosion rate of steel plate using single-factor, multifactor, and complex water systems was investigated via refinery wastewater effluents used as circulating cooling water. The results show that the primary corrosion factors of steel depend on the characteristics of the ions, the formation of the oxidized coating, the diffusion of dissolved oxygen, and other complex factors, although ion...
