Treatment Of Oil-Containing Industrial Wastewater In Thin-Layer Oil Traps

Abstract

In this article, oil production facilities and refineries are essentially the facilities where the most chemical processes are carried out and pollution is high. While oil is obtained in these facilities, the pollutants mixed with the water containing the oil are of great importance. While these waters contaminated during the production of petroleum and petroleum products are discharged to the receiving environment through different channels and collectors, this situation can cause serious problems in channels and collectors. Studies are carried out to prevent the pollution in these waters contaminated with oil and its derivatives from damaging the system. It is aimed to reveal the advantages and disadvantages of the newly designed soft layer oil trap, which is different from the previously used ones, by performing experimental studies for the application. The description of the new design of the thin layer oil trap and the results of production tests at different operating flow rates in the inter-plate gap are presented. As a result of the experiments and analytical evaluations, the new system is found to be very successful in oil refining. Its advantages over existing horizontal oil traps are proved. A detailed analysis of available patent materials and information in technical literature shows that it is possible to create a more complete and compact construction of thin mud oil tanks. The facility created by us differs from other similar ones due to its compactness, simplicity of operation and higher cleaning efficiency. The device received invention patents of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
