DOWNSTREAM sites
Water is critical for the downstream refining and
petrochemical industry. Industrials face increasing
pressure to optimise costs, minimise water usage
while cutting back on investments, together with
ever more stringent environmental regulations.
Degrémont Industry supplies robust and reliable water
treatment facilities and services following the
specific standards of mature refining and petrochemical
complexes or newly built sites.
Our Oil & Petrochem Centre of Excellence, which
specialises in water treatment for this industry, develops
cutting-edge technologies for risk control and the
ongoing quest for reduced operating costs of the
entire water cycle.
Cooling Water & Utility Water
Water Reuse or Discharge
Cooling water and utility water are most often pre-treated water from
external water sources (seawater, river water, lake or potable water) but
can also be produced by reuse or recycled treated wastewater.
The required water quality depends on the specific use within the
complex. Various forms of utility water are or may be needed such as:
process water, boiler feed water, potable water, fire-fighting water, tank
cleaning water.
In arid areas suffering from droughts, clients may choose (partial)
recycling of treated wastewater or even select Zero Liquid Discharge
(ZLD) plants in order to minimise the cooling of utility water intake from
natural resources.
Reusing & recycling also helps with regulatory compliance, protects
environment and optimises the water balance.
Wastewater
Sludge
Wastewater treatment is also one of the main requirements for the
Refining and Petrochemical industry as wastewater must be treated
before discharge or reuse.
Depending on wastewater collection and handling, the quality and
quantity arriving at the wastewater treatment plant can be quite
different from one site to another ranging from quite simple to very
complex treatment systems.
All water and wastewater treatment plants generate large quantities
of chemical and biological sludges that have to be managed.
In many locations sludge handling represents up to 30 or 40% of the
plant’s operational costs. Once treated, oil can be recovered and sludge
can become a product and be used for energy recovery systems.

SAFETY, COMPLIANCE AND RELIABILITY
FOR YOUR WATER TREATMENT LINE
Process Design & Engineering /
Equipment / Services
Understanding your specific challenges
Water is a raw material used and produced in high quantities in the
refining and petrochemical industry: cooling water, utility water
(process water & boiler feed water), wastewater, accidentally oil
contaminated water (rainwater, tank draining water, spills), spent
caustics, ballast water, sanitary water,etc.
For intake water, industrials may have to rely on fresh water from
rivers, lakes, seawater or municipal drinking water. The wastewater
quantity and quality that is generated depends on the type and
quality of the crude oil that is processed, the process units inside
the complex and the applications for its by-products.

Faced with increasing environmental legislations (new
PPC/IPPC regulations) combined with the increasing
pressure to optimise operational costs while cutting back
on investments, the refining and petrochemical industry
needs to call in specialists who can assist with their expertise to implement or improve the industrial water cycle
management.
