Demineralized water plant in oil refinery


Industry

Oil Refining and Petrochemical

Type

Water treatment plant for process water production

Task

To design, manufacture, supervision of the erection and commissioning of the new water treatment plant

Water source

Surface (river) water

About the project


The water treatment unit is designed to produce demineralized and softened water for technological needs. After evaluation of operating cost and water quality requirements, the decision was made to implement membrane technologies for this project.


Technologies

Self-cleaning filters -> Ultrafiltration -> Ion Exchange filters -> Reverse Osmosis
