Wastewater treatment for oil refineries & petrochemical plants

Join our free 75-minute technical deep dives into Oil Refinery and Petrochemical Plants Wastewater Treatment challenges.

Welcome to our upcoming webinar on industrial wastewater management in refineries and petrochemical plants! In this session, we will break down the full lifecycle of industrial water, from initial generation to advanced treatment and sustainable reuse.

We will start by mapping out process operations and raw water usage, exploring how plant configurations directly shape effluent composition and volume. You will gain practical insights into water balancing, raw water pretreatment, and targeted strategies to minimize overall water consumption. From there, we will unpack wastewater characterization, looking closely at critical parameters like BOD, COD, and persistent hydrocarbons, while covering key monitoring frameworks to maintain compliance.

Moving into treatment operations, we will cover physical and physicochemical primary processes, including equalization, oil-water separation, DAF, and VOC control. We will then explore biological and hybrid secondary systems—ranging from conventional activated sludge to MBR, SBR, and fixed-film systems—focusing on operational parameters and troubleshooting.

Finally, we will look at tertiary polishing technologies, membrane separation, advanced oxidation, and responsible sludge management to ensure discharge and reuse standards are met. To wrap up, we will discuss how modern plants are driving sustainability through Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), smart digital monitoring, and ESG-aligned water strategies.

Whether you are looking to optimize daily operations or implement future-ready technologies, this session will provide actionable tools for modern industrial water management. We look forward to seeing you there!
