The technology of local wastewater treatment of oil production is presented. It based on the consistent use of physico-chemical treatment methods and allows to remove organic matter, suspended solids from wastewater to the requirements of regulations and divert treated wastewater into the municipal sewerage system. Wastewater generated during the processing of soapstocks, in terms of pollutants exceeds the standards set for wastewater when discharged into urban drainage systems. Therefore, before removal to municipal treatment facilities, they must be treated locally using physico-chemical and biological methods. In the phase-dispersed state, such wastewater is a stable emulsion. The presence of phospholipids, which are stabilizers of emulsions, complicates the phase separation of wastewater components. In addition, wastewater contains suspended particles, colloidal and dissolved substances of organic and inorganic nature. It was found that the highest values of the effect of removal of organic matter by COD - 78% at the initial COD - 40000 mg / dm3, the effect of reducing the concentration of suspended solids - 72.5% at the initial 6300 mg / dm3 were obtained in the process of coagulation using Al2 (SO4)3 and subsequent flotation with air supply through porous materials. The technological scheme of local treatment of industrial wastewater is proposed. It includes the following main processes: averaging, aeration, alkalinization, coagulation, flotation, oxidation, filtration, adsorption. Experimental studies have shown the effectiveness of treatment of soapstocks in oil production using the proposed technology with bringing the quality of treated wastewater to current sanitary requirements, which allowed to recommend the technology of treatment of soapstocks for successful use in industrial enterprises of the oil industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
