Takreer Selects Siemens' Zimpro Wet Air Oxidation
 Warrendale,
PA -- Siemens Industry Automation Division is providing
Takreer (Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Co.) with a Zimpro wet air
oxidation (WAO) system to treat refinery spent caustic as
part of the company's expansion of its refinery in Ruwais,
Abu Dhabi, UAE. One of the advanced technologies that will
help Takreer meet environmental regulations, the WAO system
will treat odorous sulfides and produce biodegradable
effluent for discharge to the facility's effluent treatment
plant. The expansion project is scheduled to be complete by
late 2013.
The refinery expansion project will increase
crude oil refining capacity by 417,000 barrels per day using
the latest advanced technology for downstream processing
units to produce higher quality products and to comply with
UAE and international environmental standards. The Zimpro
wet air oxidation system will be part of the new downstream
units.
Wet oxidation is the oxidation of soluble or
suspended components in an aqueous environment, using oxygen
as the oxidizing agent. When air is used as the source of
oxygen, the process is referred to as wet air oxidation (WAO).
The process will oxidize odorous reduced sulfur species such
as sulfides and mercaptides. WAO can pretreat difficult
wastewater streams like refinery spent caustic, making them
amenable for discharge to a conventional biological
treatment plant for polishing.
Siemens Industry Automation Division is
working closely with Siemens in Seoul, Korea and EPC firm SK
Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd on the Takreer contract.
The Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company (TAKREER)
is a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
A leader in the UAE refining industry, Takreer has been
responsible for such refining operations as the crude oil,
condensate refining, and supply of petroleum products since
1999.
Zimpro is a trademark of Siemens and/or its
affiliates in some countries.

Measuring Oil and Grease Levels in Frac Water
 East
Norwalk, CT -- The amount of water used in and produced by
hydraulic fracturing of shale gas wells is in the millions
of gallons per well. Whether the water is going to be taken
off-site for disposal or reused for re-injection, the
flowback or produced water needs pretreatment to remove any
residual oil from the water. Waiting for remote laboratory
results to determine the oil level can take several days to
a week. The InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers allow for oil in
water testing at the well site in less than 10-15 minutes.
The sampling requires a few simple steps that can be
performed by non-technical personnel. The water is mixed
with the extraction solvent, shaken, and then presented to
the InfraCal Analyzer for measurement. The same InfraCal
TOG/TPH Analyzer can be used for measuring total petroleum
hydrocarbons (TPH) in soil if a spill or pond leak occurs to
determine the contaminated area.
This type of measurement is not new as
infrared measurement of oil and grease levels in produced
water has been used in the petroleum industry on highly
regulated off-shore and on-shore oil platforms for well over
30 years. The InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers are used worldwide
for this particular type of measurement.
InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers offer a simple and
quick measurement procedure that can help operators ensure
the oil/water separator is working properly before it
creates a sheen on an evaporation pond or before the water
undergoes further treatment for reinjection. Operators can
easily assess their system’s efficiency and adjust
parameters without waiting a week for an off-site laboratory
result.

Veolia Wastewater Treatment Technology for Peacehaven
 West
Midlands, UK -- Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies are
constructing a major new process plant at Peacehaven
Wastewater Treatment Works, part of Southern Water’s £300m
environmental project to bring cleaner seas to Sussex.
The works, being built by 4Delivery Limited,
will treat wastewater for a population equivalent of up to
300,000, using Veolia’s Multiflo™ lamella clarifiers for
primary treatment and Biostyr® for biological secondary
treatment.
The fat, oil, grease and grit removal system
consists of three identical aerated concrete channels, each
25.75m long x 5m wide and fitted with chain and flight
scrapers which remove settled solids from the bottom of the
channel whilst also removing grease and other non-settling
debris from the top via a scum tube. Primary treatment for
the 95Ml per day flow is carried-out by settlement using
Multiflo lamella clarifiers. Peacehaven is the first UK
Multiflo lamella system to incorporate both automatic
lamella plate cleaning and an automatic scum removal system.
A lamella block system was also adopted to speed up the
installation of the plate packs.
Secondary treatment uses a battery of ten
Biostyr® biological aerated flooded filters. These compact
filters will provide removal of COD and BOD as well as
eliminate suspended solids and particulate pollutants to
give a high clarity effluent for discharge to the sea. The
Biostyr air blowers and internal air grids are installed and
all the nozzles have been fitted to the nozzle slab. Air
flow distribution pipework and the feed and backwash
pipework, which were all fabricated on site, have been
fitted in the gallery where all ten units are ready for
media installation.
Following hydraulic testing and dry
commissioning the first flow to the new works is scheduled
for Spring 2012 with final completion by the end of March
2013.
The project is being carried out by
4Delivery, which is a consortium comprising Veolia Water,
Costain and MWH, and is also carrying out a £700 million
program of environmental improvement and water quality
schemes for Southern Water across Kent, Sussex, Hampshire
and the Isle of Wight, in addition to the Cleaner Seas for
Sussex Scheme.

Onset Announces New Data Logging Software
 Bourne,
MA -- Onset, the world’s leading supplier of data
loggers, today announced HOBOware 3.3, a new version of
the company’s industry-leading graphing and analysis
software that dramatically speeds up deployment time in
energy and environmental monitoring projects.
HOBOware 3.3 includes a number of
time-saving features that make it faster than ever to
configure HOBO® data loggers and weather stations in the
field, and analyze the collected data. Key features
include:
• Batch configuration and readout – With
HOBOware 3.3, users configure and readout multiple data
loggers in a fraction of the time it would take with
previous generations. This time-saving feature is a
particular advantage in applications requiring hundreds
of data loggers, such as building energy audits or
monitoring stream temperatures.
• Pre-launch filtering and scaling –
These tools enable users to pre-configure their data
loggers so upon readout, the data will display
max/min/average readings at set intervals (per hour/per
day), and will be automatically plotted to scale in
real-world engineering units.
• Bulk export – This enables users to
quickly and easily export HOBOware files to text format
for use in Microsoft Excel and other programs. The tool
automates file naming and management tasks to streamline
the export process and save time.
HOBOware 3.3 also provides support for
Onset’s new HOBO UX90 Series, the industry’s most
comprehensive family of time-of-use data loggers. The
series includes data loggers for monitoring light usage,
room occupancy, motor on/off status, state changes,
pulse signals, and more.

Industrial Plant Boiler Blowdown Effluent Query:
I am
looking to gain data for BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand), COD
(Chemical Oxygen Demand) and Chemical Composition for a
typical industrial boiler blowdown effluent.
If anyone can provide any information, or
point me towards any documents that would provide any
references I would be grateful.
Although I would ideally like info on a
Biomass CHP Boiler blowdown effluent, any other type would
suffice, e.g. Oil and Gas Plant, CHP Plant, as I understand
that the boiler technology/equipment is much the same, at
that end of the process.
Any help would be appreciated!

The plant is designed
for 16,000 m3/d as daily flow and maximum 1,501 m3/h
as hourly flow,. The process is based on an surface
aeration system, with nitrification/denitrification.
The pre-thickened sludge is transferred by eccentric
screw pumps via the suction line and the pressure
line from the pre-thickened sludge storage tank.... (Click

Water & Wastewater – Liquid Tank Selection
In liquid
storage containment, quality and value drives today’s
tank selection process. With advances in fabrication
technologies, engineering design, coating processes and
field construction techniques, some storage products
utilized in the past have become outdated, while other
