Refinery Wastewater

Clarification for Oil Refinery Effluent

Plate settlers remove suspended solids and precipitated contaminants from refinery wastewater, supporting oil-water separation and compliance.

Refinery Wastewater

Refinery wastewater contains oil, suspended solids, and dissolved contaminants from crude processing, desalting, and cooling. Multi-stage treatment is required to meet strict discharge standards.

Plate settlers provide high-rate clarification within refinery treatment trains, capturing suspended and coagulated solids after oil separation and chemical dosing. This reduces load to biological and polishing stages.

Stainless-steel construction withstands the aggressive, hydrocarbon-bearing nature of refinery effluent while delivering reliable solids capture.

Treatment Challenges & Solutions

Oil & Solids

Clarifies solids after oil-water separation stages.

Aggressive Effluent

Stainless steel resists hydrocarbon-bearing streams.
