In a refinery or petrochemical plant, wastewater is generated in a number of process units or other point sources, including desalters, sour strippers, degassers from isomerization units, cracking quench processes, stormwater, boiler condensate, cooling water blowdown, and washwater drains.

By utilizing a point source wastewater treatment process in refineries and petrochemical facilities numerous benefits can be achieved.  It reduces load and enables optimum performance on the CWWTP which, in turn, results in lower wastewater treatment and handling costs. The treatment method also enables sustainable water recycle and reuse within facilities, and is an environmentally green approach to conserving energy and low emissions and carbon footprint. Finally, point source process wastewater treatment improves workers’ health, safety, and hygiene in plant environment.

MyCelx™ oil removal systems are one proven and reliable option for point source oil contamination removal and water recycle.  An exclusive distributorship and service agreement with Siemens Water Technologies has been made with MyCelx Technologies Corporation to promote its oil removal technology in Saudi Arabia.  MyCelx Technologies Corp. has developed and implemented numerous customized oil removal systems for point source treatment at Oil and Gas upstream, refining and petrochemical facilities to enable water recycle and reuse.  This technology Siemens’ water treatment technologies, acting as a polisher for API and CPI separators, hydrocyclones, flotation cells, and multi-media filters, or as pre-treatment for Siemens’ broad array of membrane separation technologies.
