The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the design of a wet air oxidation system as it is applied on a full scale basis for spent caustic treatment. There are numerous design parameters, including temperature and pressure. The variations in spent caustic characteristics and treatment objectives must be carefully considered prior to choosing the optimal design. These issues can have a significant impact on the critical design parameters including the materials of construction.The information included herein is based on the experience of Zimpro Environment, Inc. in designing 12 full scale wet air oxidation systems for treating spent caustic from the production of ethylene.
