Reuse of Refinery Treated Wastewater in Cooling Towers
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

متن کاملRefinery wastewater treatment and reuse
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...
متن کاملWater reuse } an integral part of water resources management : Israel as a case study
Treated wastewater may be considered as a ‘new’ water resource, which can be added to the general water balance of a region. This ‘new’ source can substitute conventional water used for irrigation. Israel is presently reusing more than 65% of the total domestic sewage production of the country, and it is planned to reach more than 90% reuse during the next decade. This paper addresses the intro...
متن کاملEffect of Ambient Condition on the Shower Cooling Tower in Four Type of Climates Condition
Water cooling by ambient takes place with two mechanisms of heat and mass transfer. Using packings at wet cooling towers has disadvantages such as obstruction, reduction of life expectancy and production of algae and fungi. In shower cooling towers types of towers packings are completely removed and water intake is in direct contact and heat transfer takes place in two ways of latent and sensib...
