AbstractPetroleum refinery wastewater (PRWW) that contains recalcitrant components as the major portion of constituents is difficult to treat by conventional biological processes. An effective and economical biological treatment process was established to treat industrial PRWW with an influent COD of over 2500 mg L−1 in this research. This process is mainly composed of internal circulation biological aerated filter (ICBAF), hydrolysis acidfication (HA), two anaerobic–aerobic (A/O) units, a membrane biological reactor (MBR), and ozone-activated carbon (O3-AC) units. The results showed that, overall, this system removed over 94% of the COD, BOD5, ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) and phosphorus in the influent, with the ICBAF unit accounting for 54.6% of COD removal and 83.6% of BOD5 removal, and the two A/O units accounting for 33.3% of COD removal and 9.4% of BOD5 removal. The degradation processes of eight organic pollutants and their removal via treatment were also analyzed. Furthermore, 26 bacteria were identified in this system, with Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria being the most dominant. Ultimately, the treatment process exhibited good performance in degrading complex organic pollutants in the PRWW.

Biological Treatment Process

The treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater was studied using a bench scale ultraviolet/hydrogen peroxide (UV/H2O2) process. The highest treatment performance of the bench scale UV/H2O2 process to reduce the total organic carbon (TOC) from the petroleum refinery wastewater took place at a reaction time of 45 min and a pH of 5.0. A three factor analysis of va riance (ANOVA) analysis verified that the initial H2O2/TOC molar ratio did not have a significant effect on the bench scale UV/H2O2 process treatment performance. The effects of adding UV/H2O2 treated petroleum refinery wastewater to activated sludge microorganisms form the refinery WWTP biological treatment process was studied using respirometry. Overall, the UV/H2O2 treated refinery wastewater inhibited the refinery activated sludge microorganisms. This occurred when the raw refinery wastewater was treated with a UV/H2O2 process for 45 min. with an initial H2O2/TOC molar ratio of 1.7 mol H2O2/mol C, an initial H2O2 concentration of 202 mg H2O2/L and a pH of either 5 or 7.

Biological Treatment Process

The essence of the two phase anaerobic biological treatment process is to place acid bacteria and methane-producing bacteria in two reactors respectively, where it can provide the optimal conditions for their growth and metabolism, allowing them to live up to their maximal activity, which greatly improve processing capacity and efficiency compared to a single-phase anaerobic digestion. The paper start with the two phase anaerobic digestion process, in order to discuss the development direction of high efficient anaerobic digestion system.

Biological Treatment Process

A biological treatment process has been suggested as the main treatment stage for a high (organic) strength industrial wastewater stream, discharged by several chemical industries within a large industrial park. Treatability studies have indicated that the wastes contain a fraction of toxic and non-biodegradable organic matter, which limits the implementation of a conventional biological treatment process for the combined wastewater stream. Therefore, an in-plant control program including waste segregation and process-specific pretreatments is proposed. A protocol that enables selection of waste streams amenable to biological treatment and identification of problematic streams requiring pretreatment is presented and demonstrated. It includes simplified laboratory procedures used for chemical and toxicological characterization of source streams originating in various processes. The results can be used for the development of a pretreatment program for problematic waste streams, based upon local small-scale solutions.
