Worth A Second Look
Purifying Coke-Cooling Wastewater
03/01/2010
548726a475974-0310_SCJ_EP1_1
The delayed coking process is a fundamental part of the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries, and is among the main technical means for transforming inexpensive heavy oil into more valuable, light-oil products. The process uses high-sulfur heavy oil as its raw material, and requires a large amount of cooling water. The large volume of wastewater produced by a delayed coking process at a typical petroleum refinery not only contains solid coke breeze (residue from screening heat-treated coke) and liquid heavy oil, but also contains organic and inorganic sulfides — all potential sources of environmental pollution. The problem of cleaning coke-cooling wastewater has vexed engineers for decades, but effective solutions have remained elusive. Without a low-cost technique to treat coke-cooling wastewater, environmentally inocuous production of petroleum is impossible. The process discussed here represents an improved method for purifying coke-cooling wastewater and offers a path toward cleaner petrochemical production.
