Treatment of oily wastewaters to meet regulatory agency discharge or inplant reuse standards is a problem faced not only by refineries and steel mills, but also by metal finishing, paint manufacturing, and many other industries. Information is presented to answer several major questions: (1) What is oil--How is it measured. (2) What oil removal processes and equipment are available. (3) How may treatment equipment and processes be applied to new and existing treatment plants to meet discharge or reuse requirements. Several case histories describe how specific wastewater problems were solved. Equipment applied in these solutions include dissolved air flotation, gravity separation, granular media, and precoat filtration.
