Carbon Mobile Units Help Refinery Remove Contaminants

Evoqua successfully removes contaminants from a crude oil pipeline and achieves clean water defined by the discharge permit

Background

An oil & gas customer in West Texas approached our hydrotest team to perform water treatment from a crude oil pipeline. The discharge permit required the removal of benzene, oil and grease, TPH-GRO, TPH-DRO, total suspended solids, total residual chlorine and pH.

We worked through the details of the project with the customer then engaged our applications engineering team to develop the treatment solution. Our client requested the system be designed to operate at a flow rate of 250 GPM and total volume of treated water to be 4,000,000 gallons.
