Solution: High Flow Storm Water Treatment System

Industry: Oil & Gas

Overview

A major oil refinery located in the southeastern part of the U.S. neighbors a bird estuary on a natural conservation site. Complications arose when the refinery could not reliably meet the discharge requirements after a significant amount of rainfall occurred. The refinery sought a cost-effective, environmentally responsible solution that could meet their strict discharge requirements of less than 5ppm while maintaining a small footprint.

MyCelx's advanced Oil Removal Technology proved to be robust enough to handle the high flow rate, requiring very little space. Engineers designed and fabricated a system to meet the strict discharge requirements without complicating their process.

The remarkable results were:

• 5,000 gpm and 3,500 gpm systems operating at less than 5 psi
• Highly successful removal of oil to less than 5 ppm
• Operating costs of only $0.9/1000 gallons
• A footprint of 8' X 5' X 6"
• Less than 3 man-hours per year needed for maintenance
