This paper describes the findings of the “Third International Conference on Waste Management in the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries,” held in Salvador, Brazil, October 20-23, 1993. A summary of the 74 technical papers, divided into six major categories, is presented together with comments on the more stringent legislation concerning source control programmes. Case studies of two large chemical complexes that have been developing successful waste minimization programmes are described in detail: CETREL-Environmental Protection Company in Camaçari, Brazil, and BASF AG in Ludwigshafen, Germany.

Local Construction

The construction industry consumes a substantial amount of raw materials in its processes and the output is obviously the product and most importantly the waste material. Other than that, the construction industry is well known as one of the worst environmental polluters. This study is to determine the use of waste minimisation technique in creating sustainable waste management in order to identify the technique which has the most capabilities to reduce on-site waste. The objective of this study is to assess the waste minimization techniques taken from the 4R concept (which includes reduce, reuse, recycle and recovery techniques) in minimizing the waste in construction waste management. The most used waste minimization technique found in the 4R concept would be waste reduction. This shows that the local construction industry has the knowledge necessary to plan out the waste management processes but the implementation is still far from satisfying. Additionally, the findings reveal that because the industry is profit-driven, construction practitioners are motivated by profit to adapt to this techniques.

Refinery Waste

In response to the RCRA land ban regulations and TC rule promulgated by the U.S. Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1988-1990, an Integrated Refinery Waste Management (IRWM) program has been developed to provide cost-effective solutions to petroleum industry customers. The goal of IRWM is to provide technology based remediation treatment services to manage sludges and wastewaters generated from the oil refining processes, soils contaminated with petroleum distillates and groundwater contaminated with fuels. Resource recovery, volume reduction and waste minimization are the primary choices to mitigate environmental problems. Oil recovery has been performed through phase separation (such as centrifugation and filtration) and heating of heavy oils. Volume reduction is achieved by dewatering systems such as centrifuges and filter presses, and low temperature thermal treatment. Waste minimization can be accomplished by bioremediation and resource recovery through a cement kiln. In-situ vapor extraction has been applied to remove volatile organic compounds from the vadose zone in contaminated sites. Stabilization has been effective for soils contaminated with heavy metals and nonvolatile substances. For the listed hazardous wastes generated from the refining process, a combination of liquid/solids separation and thermal treatment has been successfully applied. The sludge from the on-site ponds or continuous operations is pumped to a surge tank before heating, phase separation and volume reduction by a two-stage centrifuge system. The first stage horizontal centrifuge has effectively separated the solids from the liquid phase containing oil and water. The oil in the liquid phase is separated from the water in the second stage vertical centrifuge and is recycled back to the refinery for re-use. The water will be sent back to the wastewater treatment system for further treatment. Pretreatment of the wastewater may be required.

Supplying the growing demands of society for goods and services is leading to a depletion of resources and an increase in the amount of waste generated. The uniqueness of the chemical industry requires special solutions. Waste management and waste minimization, including recycling, reuse, and valorization, must become integral parts of any production process or facility. Examples are given at the single process level, at the product group level, and at the production facility level of successful programs that eliminated or signifantly reduced the amount of waste generated.

Prevention Approach

The objective of this paper is to present information on pollution prevention practices and economics to recommend it as a significant part of industrial waste management. The waste reduction/waste minimization/pollution prevention sequence is described and optimized. Experiences in pollution prevention for three separate industries are presented. The pollution prevention approach is stressed for its positive effects on cost, expenses, environmental benefits, as well as other less tangible benefits. The conclusion is that you can generally reduce, minimize or eliminate waste and make money doing it. This is especially the case with old processes having significant residuals.

This paper presents an evaluation of the status and direction of toxic/hazardous waste reduction in the chemical and petrochemical industries from an international perspective. Pertinent approaches, experiences and trends are described. Industrial waste management has evolved from an “end-of-pipe” treatment mentality to source reduction as the preferred option. It is generally agreed that the Chemical/Petrochemical Industries generate more hazardous and toxic waste than any other industrial sector. Also because of the large quantities of materials and energy used by these industries, significant opportunities are available for waste reduction. In almost all cases costs savings have resulted, many of which are significant. The importance of pollution prevention by “clean technologies” instead of remediation, multi-media considerations and the significance of product life-cycle assessment in pollution prevention programs is stressed. Examples are provided which demonstrate, that a proactive approach by DOW, E.I. DuPONT, AMOCO, 3M Corp., CIBA-GEIGY and others is now becoming the norm. From an international policy perspective, important commonalities and differences in strategy and efforts for toxics/hazardous waste management exist. Much can be learned by the mistakes and solutions between cultures and countries. Much progress has been made in protection of public health and the environment - but much remains to be done. This paper is intended to provide a stimulus for discussion aimed at optimizing future waste minimization activities in the chemical and petrochemical industries.

This paper summarizes and evaluates past, current and expected actions concerning waste management in the chemical and petrochemical industries. Industrial waste management has evolved from an “end of pipe” treatment mentality to holistic environmental waste management with source reductions as the preferred option. In most cases significant costs savings have resulted and environmental and public health impacts minimized. This current thrust has resulted from recent regulatory actions. Future trends will require management changes. To be effective, the management approach selected must address the following issues: regulatory/legal considerations and trends; environmental management systems; toxicity measurement characterizations; ecotoxicity assessment evaluations; source reduction and waste minimization; treatment trends and innovative treatment techniques; residual management.
