Design and construction of a modular pilot plant for the treatment of oil-containing wastewaters

A modular pilot size plant involving coagulation/flocculation, centrifugation, ultrafiltration and sorption processes has been designed and constructed. The pilot plant can be used for the treatment of different water-based coolants and oily wastewaters, generated in metalworking processes and steel...

Description
Summary:	A modular pilot size plant involving coagulation/flocculation, centrifugation, ultrafiltration and sorption processes has been designed and constructed. The pilot plant can be used for the treatment of different water-based coolants and oily wastewaters, generated in metalworking processes and steel cold rolling operations. Different treatments are considered depending on the nature of the oily waste emulsion. The main advantage of the plant is its versatility, allowing the combination of several of the aforementioned treatments. It is a feasible waste management alternative with potential savings as a result of a better control of the elimination of oily wastes and water reuse, with the result of environmental and economic benefits.
