Petrochemicals & Fine Chemicals
Advanced Solution for Chemicals & Petrochemicals
The petrochemical industry, specifically in the production of phthalates and chlor-alkalis, necessitates robust and efficient water management. These processes generate diverse wastewater streams containing various contaminants, while also requiring high-quality water for production, utility, and ancillary operations. Ahura Aqua provides specialized water treatment solutions tailored to the unique challenges of this sector, ensuring both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Our Comprehensive Solutions
Water Treatment Plant
The production of phthalates and chlor-alkalis demands water of specific quality and quantity at various stages.
- Process Water: High-purity water is crucial for several processes to prevent contamination and ensure product quality. Our solutions for generating this high-quality water often involve a multi-stage treatment process: PSF (Pressure Sand Filter) – ACF (Activated Carbon Filter) – SFT (Softening) – RO (Reverse Osmosis) – DM (De-mineralization)
- Utility & Ancillary: Water is also essential for cooling, boiler feed, and other support services. Treatment solutions are designed to meet the specific quality requirements of these applications, preventing scaling, corrosion, and other operational issues.
ETP
Wastewater from phthalates and chlor-alkali production can contain a range of pollutants, including organic compounds, chlorides, and other process-specific chemicals. The Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is crucial to treat this wastewater before discharge or further recovery. Typical ETP processes may involve:
Neutralization – Chemical Precipitation – Coagulation – Flocculation – Clarification – Sludge Handling
Post ETP wastewater recovery for Re-use
Ahura Aqua enables petrochemical plants to significantly reduce their water consumption and minimize discharge by implementing advanced wastewater recovery systems. The wastewater generated from the ETP, although treated, can be further processed for reuse in various plant operations. A typical recovery stream for the petrochemical industry may include:
HRSCC (High Rate Solid Contact Clarifier) – PSF – ACF – UF (Ultrafiltration) – 2-stage RO.
These systems can achieve high recovery rates, often ranging from 89% to 93%, leading to substantial cost savings and reduced freshwater intake.
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
For complete elimination of liquid discharge, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems are employed. While recovery systems treat a large portion of the wastewater, the remaining concentrated stream, typically 7% to 11%, requires further treatment.
- ZLD is achieved by using technologies like Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) to evaporate the remaining wastewater, separating the water from the dissolved solids.
Ahura Aqua partners with leading providers of evaporation technologies like MVR to offer comprehensive ZLD solutions, helping petrochemical facilities achieve sustainable and environmentally compliant operations.
