Abstract
This study explores the performance of electrochemical and combined oxidation methods for the treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW). The electrocoagulation operating parameters studied includes reaction time and applied voltage. In situ hydrogen peroxide treatments at different dosages and hybrid electrochemical systems (ECEO, ECS25, ECS33, ECEO + US33) have been studied. The efficacy of the treatment system has been evaluated in terms of reduction of phenols, COD, TOC, oil, and grease. The most effective method for PRW treatment is ECEO + US33 where the maximum % removal of phenols, TOC, COD, oil, and grease are reported to be 98, 92, 92, and 92%, respectively. The results demonstrate the technical feasibility of using hybrid electrochemical process as a possible and reliable methods for the treatment of PRW.
