The topic:   Feasibility assessment, refinery effluent treatment by MBRs

The client:  International environmental engineering company

The brief

This job entailed identifying existing MBRs used for petrochemical effluent treatment (~40,000 m³/d capacity), along with their reported design and O&M. Evidence was provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the technology for the application envisaged, specifically with reference to the feedwater quality. Performance data (COD removal and sustainable net flux) from other full-scale plants was acquired and collated to identify the most appropriate design and optimum O&M conditions. Specific comparable sites were identified for planned site visits.
