Our Applications

Application

KD International provides a complete range of separation solutions for treating wastewater in oil refineries and petrochemical plants. Effective oily water separation is essential to minimize maintenance downtime, lower production costs, ensure regulatory compliance, and potentially expand treatment capacity. Refinery wastewater contains oil, organic matter, and other contaminants, requiring efficient removal to protect downstream systems and meet discharge standards. Proper treatment utilizes physical, chemical, and biological processes, where separation of oil, gas, and solids is gravity-driven, relying on particle size and density differences. Large coalescing plate separation surfaces enhance system efficiency and improve overall separation performance.

Problem

Untreated refinery and petrochemical wastewater can cause serious operational and environmental challenges, including:

• Oil Contamination – Leading to equipment fouling and inefficient separation processes
• High Organic Load – Requiring advanced treatment to meet discharge regulations
• Solids Accumulation – Causing clogging and reducing treatment system performance
• Increased Maintenance Costs – Due to excessive fouling and frequent system downtime
• Regulatory Compliance Risks – Stricter discharge limits requiring efficient separation solutions
  
  Failure to implement proper wastewater treatment can result in higher operational costs, environmental penalties, and reduced plant efficiency.
