The RO permeate has good quality so that it can be used for noble purposes: adjunctive boiler circuits and aircooling tower with a quality of demineralized water or process water in industry, water production drinking.
Advantageously, the process comprises a recycling loop providing short sampling a portion of the filtrate
leaving the filtering step, subjecting this portion to filtrate a disinfection step, and then re-pointing to a less
demanding services water quality in the industry or in urban areas.
The treatment system may comprise, before the biological treatment in a bioreactor, a primary treatment step,
especially de.coagulation-flocculation, deoiling, decantation.
It may also include biological treatment after a separation step of insoluble particles by any known technique
such as filtration or membrane material, flotation, lamellar settling.
The output of the effluent from the separation unit can be connected by a short loop in a disinfecting unit
whose output is connected to a consumption unit in less demanding quality water.
The effluent discharge product is set to a minimum flow can meet the regulatory requirements for the quality of
the discharge in terms of organic pollutants, nutrients and salts.
The invention relates to an installation simultanmment of sewage, industrial or urban, for at least partial reuse
some more complex long loop, the facility comprising the loop for as short reuse water, a bioreactor of the
output effluent is connected to means for physical separation of the particles.
The effluent is here connected to equipment reverse osmosis or nanofiltration.
Pretreatment upstream helps control plugging osmosis membranes.
The soluble and non-biodegradable pollution found in the concentrate osmosis.
It may consist of organic matter and salts.
Rutilsation long loop is characterized in that the concentrate outlet of the processing equipment by reverse
osmosis or nanofiltration is connected to the input of a unit for oxidizing treatment, whose output is connected
to the input of loop bioreactor.
The unit is preferably an oxidizing treatment unit ozonation
In the case of industrial waste water, the unit may include a direct admission to the unit for treatment for
oxidizing a portion of the water to be treated containing harmful compounds toxic to the biodegradation
process, particularly for blowdown.
In the case of urban wastewater, the filtrate leaving the reverse osmosis unit or nanofiltration can be subjected
to a conditioning treatment for reuse water, including mineralization followed by disinfection before
distribution ..
Other techniques can complement this basic scheme for further desalination rejection.
The invention consists, apart from the provisions set out above, a number of other provisions which will be
explained in more detail below in connection with the embodiments described with reference to the
accompanying drawings, but are not way limiting.
In this drawing:
Fig. 1 is a diagram of a system implementing the method of the invention for the treatment of industrial waste
water, and
Fig. 2 is a similar diagram of Fig. 1 for the treatment of municipal wastewater.
Referring to Fig. 1, one can see an installation according to the invention for industrial wastewater reuse.
The consumer unit consists of one plant may include boiler circuits, cooling towers or other equipment
requiring demineralized water or process water quality.
Example
An example of application of the invention relates to an industrial wastewater reuse on a refinery /
petrochemical complex.
Compared to the options described above, the treatment system includes primary treatment of oiling and
treatment activated biofilter biological treatment, physical separation by ultrafiltration sludge.
The treatment process according to the invention chain reduces water intake 2 50% in accordance with local
regulations on natural water sample.
The concentration level of salinity in the loop is maintained at long reuse 3.
The return on investment is estimated less than three years compared to levy taxes.
The volume of discharge at line 14 is reduced by 70%.
Rejection has a COD of 50 mg / L on average, and micro-phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
and benzene derivatives
(BTEX stands for Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes) are no longer detectable in the release.
The die according to the sector of the invention provides:
- A reduction in water intake in the resource
- Limiting the volume of wastewater produced final (rejection)
- Quality of wastewater ultimate compliance with regulatory thresholds for rejection
- A good command of the accumulation of pollutants in the circuit - reduced compared to chains reuse type
zero liquid discharge costs of construction, maintenance and operation.
The combination of steps of the chain according to the invention allows a reduction of rejection while
minimizing investment and allowing easy operation.
Consequently, it ensures the preservation of water resources, reduce costs, and that the operation easier.
