With the development of the refining industry, the treatment of refinery wastewater has become an urgent problem. In this study, a ceramic membrane (CM) was combined with Fenton-activated carbon (AC) adsorption to dispose of refinery wastewater. The effect of the combined process was analyzed using excitation–emission matrix (EEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies (FTIR). Compared with direct filtration, the combined process could significantly improve the removal of organic pollution, where the removal rate of the COD and TOC could be 70% and the turbidity removal rate was above 97%. It was found that the effluent could meet the local standards. In this study, the membrane fouling was analyzed for the impact of the pretreatment on the membrane direction. The results showed that Fenton-AC absorption could effectively alleviate membrane fouling. The optimal critical flux of the combined process was increased from 60 to 82 L/(m2·h) compared with direct filtration. After running for about 20 d, the flux remained at about 55 L/(m2·h) and the membrane-fouling resistance was only 1.2 × 1012 m−1. The Hermia model revealed that cake filtration was present in the early stages of the combined process. These results could be of great use in improving the treatment efficiency and operation cycle of refinery wastewater.

“…[69,160] The main difficulties facing membrane fouling are how to destroy oil emulsion systems to achieve efficient emulsion separation and preventing oil from entering pores. [162] Therefore, the chemical de-emulsification process may be connected with membrane separation technology as a proposed action for oil/water separation from the emulsion. In previous works, researchers [17,126,163] have studied a hyperbranched phenol-based-amine resin block polyether as a powerful de-emulsifier nominated AE2311, which was grafted [138] Copyright 2018, Elsevier.…”

found with other insoluble matter, presenting relevant problems with safe and convenient separation. The legal discharge of oil-water emulsions is a complex process. [4] Thus, environmental authorities have established stringent regulations to cope with it. [5] Depending on countries, the oil limits are concentrations below 40 ppm as in Vietnam, [6] and in other countries like Korea, the maximum is only five ppm of oil in discharge. [7] Generally, the oil phase in water has three forms, based on oil droplets, size of more than 150 micrometers is called free oil, but that size found from 50 to 150 micrometers is the dispersed oil, [8] finally, the emulsified oil less than 20 µm. There is an increasing interest in employing membrane technology for filtering smaller size oil droplets. In this review, oil-water emulsion problems are highlighted with oil-water separation techniques selection and their performance with varied oil concentration and composition of other immiscible or miscible components. [9] Membrane technology is known formerly to economically advantageous for oily wastewater (OWW) treatment compared with other conventional technologies. [9] Based on the literature, the membranebased treatment cost estimation was about 1 and 3 $ m −3 , [10] lower than for dissolved air floatation (DAF) treatment (cost was 3.65 $ m −3 ). Generally, the treatment cost depends on OWW sources, as each industry has its specific blends for oil and grease jointly with other membrane foulants. [11] For example, oil-water emulsions treatment from the fatty acid industry has a total capital cost (costs of membranes, electricity, labor, cleaning, and maintenance) of 2.65 $ m −3 , compared with the railroad industry (it was ranged from 1.03 to 1.48 $ m −3 ). These costs for the metalworking OWW using UF were 2.8 $ m −3 . In microfiltration (MF) membrane, the OWW membrane-based treatment for oil concentration of 50 ppm annual cost was estimated as 0.098 $ m −3 with a feed rate of 100 m 3 day −1 . [9] The cost of membrane-based treatment of OWW is generally varying but is lower than conventional technologies. [12] 1.1. Oil-Water Emulsions Sources, Environmental Hazard, and Discharge Limits An oil-water emulsion is either a waste stream product, or secondary product. These effluents are generated from different areas and industrial sectors like the petroleum& gas sector, food processing, shipping facilities and maritime, and many others Oily wastewater is generated by various industries in extraordinary growing volumes, such as oil refineries, petrochemicals, metallurgical, food & beverages, and dairy industries, which need oil removal for safe discharge to the environment. Lower cost of production with high oil removal and efficient performance compared to classical methods for treating oil-water emulsions attributed to the alleviation of operation. That emphasizes membrane modification to enhance wettability, hydrophilicity with the antifouling property such as membranes dealing with tiny oil emulsions to be the key parameters to im...

Razavi and Miri, (2015) showed that the average removal efficiencies of COD, BOD5, TSS, volatile suspended solids (VSS), and turbidity using hollow fiber membrane bioreactor were obtained 82 %, 89 %, 98 %, 99 %, and 98 %, respectively.

Large quantities of wastewater generate from refineries in the process of crude oil usage, distillation, and cooling systems. The wastewater samples need to be treated before disposing into the environment. Disposal of the untreated refinery wastewater causes problems for the water sources and environment. The aim of this work was to study the characteristics, treatment techniques, and limitations of refinery wastewater treatment. A number of tables were prepared to summarize and review wastewater characteristics, treatment process, and the operational limitations. Results revealed that values of some parameters such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), phenols, oil and grease, and total suspended solids (TSS) were 40.25 mg/L to 8,000 mg/L, 80 mg/L to 21,000 mg/L, 3.5 mg/L to 128 mg/L, 12.7 mg/L to 50,000 mg/L, and 22.8 to 2,580 mg/L, respectively. Numerous treatment technologies were used for the treatment of refinery wastewater. Treatment techniques have benefits, weaknesses, and operational limitations. Most amount of the TSS, oil and grease, organic materials are eliminated in the primary and secondary treatment units. Tertiary/Advanced treatment units are necessary for removal of the remaining portions of the contaminants, heavy metals, nitrogen compounds, and phosphorus. Combination of physical, chemical and biological treatment techniques increase removal efficiency of the contaminants.
