“…Several laboratory and pilot-scale studies have demonstrated that SBR technology can be useful for the petroleum industry wastewater treatment (Freire et al, 2001;Lee et al, 2004;González et al, 2007;Fakhru'l-Razi et al, 2010;Kutty et al, 2011;Pajoumshariati et al, 2011;Ghorbanian et al, 2014;Frank, 2016;Pajoumshariati et al, 2017). SBR system has been practiced in some refineries, but its use is not common and has limited application in the petroleum industry wastewater treatment (IPIECA, 2010;Jafarinejad, 2017).…”

“…Although microbial community remarkably changed in the three parallel sulfide reducing bacteria, the performance of these systems had no considerable difference between summer and winter (Xie et al, 2016). Frank (2016) used a pilot-scale SBR-MBR hybrid treatment system (Fig. 3) to remove organic compounds, primary nutrients, and suspended solids from a mixture of municipal and oil and gas wastewaters for beneficial reuse.…”

“…As produced water was enhanced to 20% of the influent by volume, nitrification was lost, showing the threshold at which removal is effected by produced water dose lies between 6% and 20% by volume. Over this time, the biological community in the bioreactors remained stable providing evidence of a robust system (Frank, 2016). Siemens Water Technologies Corp (2009) has introduced OMNIFLO ® SBR to manage wastewater in the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries which is a fill-and-draw, non-steady state ASP, in which one or more reactor basins are filled with wastewater during a discrete time period, and then operated in a batch treatment mode.…”

Oily wastewater treatment in the petroleum industry may generally be classified as process wastewater pretreatment, primary treatment, secondary treatment, and tertiary treatment or polishing. In secondary treatment, dissolved oil and other organic pollutants may be consumed biologically by microorganisms. Biological treatment of complex chemicals in the petroleum industry wastewaters is specially challenging due to the inhibition and/or toxicity of these compounds when they serve as microbial substrates. Processes such as sequencing batch reactor (SBR) technology which promote the mineralization of the petroleum industry wastewaters containing toxic compounds seem to be promising. In this study, principles of SBR, modifications in SBR technology, effective parameters on SBR process, and recent developments in the application of SBR technology for the petroleum industry wastewater treatment have been reviewed.

“…Publicly owned treatment works (POTW) are not designed to handle the high salinity and concentration of metals / other dissolved inorganics native to PW (3). However, Frank et al (4) show that treatment of PW in activated sludge (AS) systems is possible at loads of 6-20% PW by volume with limited impacts on the performance of the biological process and on effluent water quality. Microbial communities have also shown remarkable resilience to disturbance of batch reactor parameters during municipal water treatment (5), suggesting there may be an untapped potential in the capabilities of microbial communities for the treatment of PW.…”

Produced Water (PW) from oil and gas (O&G) producing wells is a unique source of water in water-stressed regions. Microbiota within O&G formations have been well-studied on site/in-situ but few applied works have considered their role in the treatment of PW in engineered water treatment systems. Herein, we operated a simple aeration/mixing bench-scale bioreactor fed with produced water under three conditions: 1) PW alone (control; hereafter referred to as 'baseline'), 2) phosphorous dosed daily as KH2PO4, and 3) activated sludge (AS) dosed daily from a sequence batch membrane bioreactor (SB-MBR). Aerated and mixed PW alone (baseline) was able to attenuate PW chemistry with removal of soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) and ammonia by 27.6% and 17.8%, respectively. Further KH2PO4 and AS additions improved water treatment efficiency markedly; in the KH2PO4 addition reactor, sCOD and ammonia were reduced by 50.0% and 61.5%, respectively, and in the AS addition reactor by 52.5% and 59.2%, respectively. Microbial consortia determined via 16S rRNA gene amplicons differ in composition between raw PW and all reactors; order Kiloniellales was most common in raw PW while orders Rhodobacterales, Pseudomonadales, and Caulobacterales were most abundant amongst AS, KH2PO4, and baseline conditions, respectively. Several different microbial consortia are capable of treating raw PW which suggests that functional redundancy amongst microbiota in engineered treatment systems may be underappreciated. With simple addition of phosphorous and/or activated sludge to PW as part of a treatment strategy, a higher quality water can then be subjected to conventional treatment and/or local reuse.
