A refinery that processes one million tons of crude oil annually produces between 1,000 to 1,500 tons of waste products: 45 percent are sludges, 20 percent are waste products associated with the refining process (spent catalysts, etc.), and 35 percent are non-hazardous industrial waste. Such a refinery also consumes between 330 to 530 million gallons of fresh water annually, which is used for process water, steam generation and cooling water.
In-depth experience with industrial processes has allowed Veolia Water to assess various waste sources within a given plant, resulting in wasteload reduction, segregated treatment, direct water reuse and materials recovery. A wide variety of wastewater treatment techniques have been applied, including biological treatment systems, physical/chemical systems, oil and water separation, and a combination of these. Our company has also pioneered the application of advanced techniques such as reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration on wastewater streams. We can also provide oil recovery services using ultrafiltration for emulsified oil streams.
We have deep experience with many HPI companies. One example: At ConocoPhilips' Lake Charles Refinery in Louisiana, we provide water production and wastewater treatment services. The refinery processes both heavy, high-sulfur and low-sulfur crude and produces a full range of fuel products. We operate the refinery's 7.2-MGD surface water treatment system and 7.1 MGD wastewater treatment facility with a staff of water treatment specialists.
