Thin-film evaporation as a pretreatment technique for removing volatile organics from petroleum-refinery wastes
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7244242
Oily wastes from petroleum refineries can result in air emissions during the land treatment of these wastes. A pilot-scale thin-film evaporator (TFE) was used to remove volatile organics (VO) from refinery tank-bottom sludge. Different TFE operating parameters were utilized to determine optimum process operating conditions and the percent removal of specific VO compounds was measured. Removal efficiencies of up to 99.9% were obtained, resulting in a 95% reduction in VO emissions from a land treatment test plot.
