Veolia to supply evaporator and crystallizer for Iraqi refinery projects | ||

The system needs to be divided in two steps. The first step is a Brine Concentrator based on calcium sulfate seeded slurry and driven through a single Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR). The second step is a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Brine Crystallizer driven through two stages of single MVR. The combined system will eliminate all liquid waste discharge and will produce a waste solid product discharge from a centrifugal separation process. Waste solids from the plant will be routed to a landfill for disposal. The process distillate quality recovered from the process will be routed internally to the refinery for reuse. Ignacio Martinez, Vice-President and General Manager of Veolia Water Technologies’ Evaporation & Crystallization activities, said, “The Karbala refinery is due to become the most technically advanced refinery in Iraq. Veolia is proud to contribute its strong expertise in zero liquid discharge and waste reduction processes, helping Iraq’s SCOP and the HDGSK joint venture meet their economic and environmental goals.” The plant will have a capacity of 55 m3/hr and is scheduled for delivery in August 2016. The Karbala Refinery ZLD facility will rely on the high mechanical availability of Veolia´s system to maintain the refinery´s water treatment operations. | ||
