Q?
WHAT IS THE TREATMENT PROCESS?
-
A.
Waste water containing hydrocarbons and suspended solids are physically separated from the aqueous phase through filtration and centrifugation. The hydrocarbons are sent off for either fuels blending or recycling depending on the quality of the material. Solids which are not suspended are removed through gravity separation and sent to landfill. Emulsified hydrocarbons are separated from the aqueous phase through Chemicals treatment and the remaining trace organics are removed through our carbon adsorption system.
