Case Study

Introduction:

Effective treatment of oily wastewater at oil pipeline terminal station is crucial for environmental protection and regulatory compliance. This project focuses on utilizing PolyCera Titan ultrafiltration membrane as the core equipment in an integrated containerized treatment system, aiming to achieve efficient oil-water separation with minimal environmental impact.

Project Background:

The integrated system for oil-water separation at an oil pipeline terminal utilizes PolyCera Titan ultrafiltration (UF) membrane as the core component. With a designed water treatment capacity of 400 m3/day, the system targets oily underground wastewater and oily wastewater from the accident buffer tank.

Process Overview:

The treatment process involves several stages, including oil-water separation and membrane filtration, as illustrated in the following process flow diagrams:

Results:

The operation of the PolyCera Titan UF membrane system yielded significant results:

  • Efficient Oil Removal: The membrane effectively removed oil and suspended solids from the oily wastewater, achieving an oil content of less than 10mg/L in the filtrate water, meeting discharge standards.
  • Environmentally Friendly Operation: The system operates without the need for additional chemicals or sludge generation, reducing the burden of hazardous waste disposal. It also operates in a closed manner, with no odor emissions or VOCs discharge, contributing to environmental sustainability.
  • Simplified Process: The one-step filtration process fully achieves the treatment goals, reducing complexity and operational costs. The system is simple to operate and adjust based on influent water conditions.

Value Proposition:

The project’s utilization of PolyCera Titan UF membrane offers several key advantages:

  • Environmental Sustainability: The system’s closed operation and minimal chemical usage reduce environmental impact, promoting sustainable practices in oily wastewater treatment.
  • Resource Conservation: Membrane concentrated stream can be treated within the equalization tank without generating hazardous sludge, maximizing resource utilization and minimizing waste generation.
  • Operational Efficiency: The system’s simple operation and one-step filtration process enhance operational efficiency, reducing labor and maintenance requirements and optimizing performance.

Conclusion:

The successful implementation of PolyCera Titan UF membrane in the integrated containerized treatment system at oil pipeline terminals demonstrates its effectiveness in achieving efficient oil-water separation while minimizing environmental impact. By providing a sustainable and cost-effective solution for oily wastewater treatment, PolyCera membrane system contributes to environmental protection and regulatory compliance in the oil industry.
