Assessment of the status of the liquid waste treatment system of an oil refinery

Keywords: wastewaters; refinery of petroleum; treatment system.

Abstract

The refinery of petroleum study object has the mission of taking place derived of the petroleum and to offer services of high quality to the national territory. Several are the polluting elements that are generated in their productive processes, as well as the effects that carry on the ecosystem. Of there the necessity to evaluate the operation of the system of treatment of the residual liquids in this refinery. The specialists of Geominera Guide they carried out five sampling campaigns in the period understood among February of the year 2016 and February of the 2018. It is demonstrated that in the five made campaigns the oils and fatty, the hydrocarbons, the suspended solids and the dissolved oxygen don't fulfill the requirements settled down in the norm of effective to be poured. By means of an analysis of variance multifactorial it is demonstrated that the lagoon of oxidation doesn't work appropriately from the year 2016. Keeping in mind the obtained results and that the treatment system has more than 50 years of exploitation intends study modifications to the treatment system of residual for the industry.
