Waste In A Hydrocarbon Processing Industry

Types of Wastes Generated

 Suspended Solids (un-dissolved/insoluble)
 Floating Materials (mainly FOG)
 Dissolved (soluble) Impurities
Organics
• Volatile Organics (VOC)
• Biodegradable Compounds (BOD; FOG)
• Refractory or Persistent (eg. Phenols)
Inorganics
• Metals (as salts)
• Nutrients (N, P)
• Sulfur (as -SO4, S-)
• Acids/Alkalis
 Color (can be colloidal or dissolved)

Crude Oil Impurites

Since the types of waste generated from crude oil processing is accompanied with the crude oil, a discussion of these impurities is included. All crude oil contains impurities which contribute to corrosion, heat exchanger fouling, furnace coking, catalyst deactivation and product degradation. These contaminants are broadly characterized as salts, BS&W, solids, and metals. The amounts of these impurities vary for different crudes. Generally, crude oil salt content ranges between 3 and 200 pounds per 1,000 barrels (ptb). Bottom......
