Industrial Water Treatment Plant

 

WABAG – the specialist, whatever the water requirements: Water is essential to life, irreplaceable and WABAG’s core business. As an international systems supplier, WABAG is one of the world’s most innovative water treatment companies. Indeed, a combination of in-house developed systems and know-how regarding conventional processes and specific technologies provides us with decisive competitive advantages.

Over the past decade, WABAG has installed more than 800 plants for municipalities and industry worldwide. These include over 150 plants for the provision of some 2.5 million m3/d of clean water for industrial plants and another 105 plants for the environmentally compatible treatment of industrial effluents.

WABAG –Comprehensive Industrial Water Treatment Plant

Securing water as a production factor: WABAG offers a diverse portfolio of treatment processes for the securing of a quantitative and qualitative supply of water to industrial companies. Flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, membrane filtration, desalination (reverse osmosis and thermal processes) and ion exchange, are combined and implemented according to individual requirements for process and service water.

WABAG also provides treatment processes for the cleaning of industrial wastewater. A wide range of biological and chemical-physical process steps are employed for the technical and economic optimisation of every subsequent facility.

The availability and integration of these processes not only facilitates an optimum response to specific situations, but also water recycling in closed circuits, which conserves resources and offers maximum cost-effectiveness.

WABAG - intelligent water solutions for petrochemical plants: WABAG has designed and installed a considerable number of plants for the petrochemical industry. Recent references include thermal desalination plants for the supply of process water to a refinery in Balikpapan, Indonesia, and to the world’s largest methanol production plant in Point Lisas, Trinidad, which also includes an ion exchange technology demineralisation system for boiler feed water production.

100% recycling by means of wastewater purification: A wastewater recycling plant for a refinery in Jamnagar, India went into operation in 1999. It purifies the chemical-physical and biological wastewater at Reliance Petroleum Limited. The plant has a capacity of 48,000 m3 per day and recycles wastewater to the refining process, separating 100 t of process residues. In 2006, a multi-stage wastewater treatment plant - including sedimentation, dual-media filtration, ultrafiltration, 3-stage reverse osmosis and ion exchange - for the Panipat Refinery in India went into operation, enabling the recycling of effluents and its re-use as boiler feed water.

Bandar Imam - a versatile water treatment plant: WABAG’s most important reference project within the petrochemical field is a water treatment plant in Bandar Imam, which provides a major petrochemical complex with boiler feed, cooling, service, fire fighting and drinking water. 163,000 m3/d of water from the Karun River are used as raw water and treated in differing systems as required. Flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection and partial desalination are all employed. The core element in the plant is the RO system. With a capacity of 84,000 m3/d, the plant supplies desalinated water for subsequent demineralisation using ion exchange and the condensate polishing required for the supply of process and drinking water.

The water treatment plant secures the continuous operation of the facility and is also designed to treat oily effluents, sanitary sewage and salty wastewater to high environmental standards. The main process steps include oil separation, a biological process, chlorination and filtration.

WABAG completed the entire engineering for this complex water treatment plant in a mere 12 months and after the procurement and construction phases, the plant went into operation at the beginning of 2003.

Since WABAG’s service range is based on a holistic life cycle model, extending from consulting to operational management, our support does not end after commissioning. In fact, we continue to serve our clients through our technological competence in the areas of maintenance and operational services.

sustainable solutions. for a better life.
