Water Consumption Optimization Study Using Water Pinch Technology
Industry: Crude Oil Refining
Challenge
This project consists of verification and feasibility study of conservation and optimization of water consumption and waste-water producer systems in a Petroleum Refinery plant. By using the most modern Water pinch technology, 38% freshwater saving was realized.
- Water consumption minimization and reducing wastewater generation was reached via these strategies, individually and/or using a combination of any of these approaches:
1. Process Changes: Retrofitting, modification and changes made on the processes requiring water
2. Water Reuse: Reusing water discharged by a process unit as water intake for the next process unit downstream.
3. Regeneration Reuse: Treatment of discharged water from a process and reusing in another process
4. Regeneration Recycling: Treatment of discharged water fro a process and reusing in the same process
