Case Studies
Client: Petroleum Refinery
Location: Northern California
Project Description
Provided mobile wastewater treatment services utilizing oil/water separation, chemical oxidation and reverse osmosis to treat approximately 2.5-million gallons of sour water contaminated with sulfides, COD and Ammonia. The wastewater was generated from many locations throughout the refinery and stored in one aboveground storage tank. The wastewater was treated and successfully discharged to an on-site wastewater treatment plant. All the wastewater was treated to comply with discharge limits required by the refinery. GEM MTS also performed vapor control on the processing equipment.
Permitting: Refinery Discharge requirements
Contaminants: Sulfides, COD, Ammonia
Equipment Used: Reverse osmosis, Chemical Oxidation, Oil water separation
Volume Treated: 2.5 Million Gallons
Cost Benefits: Tank Returned to service, significantly less than off site disposal
