Description:
Petroleum refineries and chemical plants use water in a variety of processes, ranging from crude oil desalting to FCC units, cokers, steam generators, reactor jackets and cooling towers. With scarcity of water common around the world, proper treatment and operation of utility systems become critical to sustainable and reliable operations. Water treatment issues can impact the effectiveness of the corrosion control program, compromising the integrity of key pieces of heat transfer equipment and negatively affecting the energy efficiency of process units. New and improved options for wastewater treatment are critical in the effort to achieve ever more stringent effluent water quality standards. This three-day program covers the four main areas that deal with water in an industrial plant including raw water and wastewater treatment, boiler water treatment and cooling water treatment. In-depth discussions will focus on the mechanical, chemical, and operational parameters of these systems with emphasis on remediation and troubleshooting of common issues. The seminar will be presented by Becht’s water treatment advisors, Mr. Dave Puchan and Mr. Ron Tebbetts. These professionals have extensive hands-on experience in all areas of water treatment technologies and have worked with a variety of industries including refineries and chemical plants around the world to solve all types of water treatment problems. |
