Oil Refinery & Petrochemical Industry Wastewater Treatment - Virtual Learning
Petroleum refining and petrochemical industries unavoidably generate large volumes of wastewater. As environmental regulations for wastewater disposal are getting stricter, and fresh water resources are becoming increasingly limited, the industry requires more efficient management and reuse of this wastewater. Therefore, wastewater treatment must be explored and resolved by every oil refinery and petrochemical company.
This 5-Day Gulf Rowad Oil Refinery & Petrochemical Industry Wastewater Treatment training course under the Oil & Gas Technology will identify how to get to the core of this issue using thorough analysis of the development status of wastewater treatment methods including flotation, coagulation, biological treatment, membrane separation technology, combined technology and advanced oxidation process that ultimately results in maximization of petroleum refining and petrochemical industries profitability and meeting with the strict environmental regulations.
Participants will learn several configurations and techniques for Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) in oil refining and petrochemical industries. Understanding of these techniques will be reinforced by exercises and case studies.
This Gulf Rowad Oil Refinery & Petrochemical Industry Wastewater Treatment training course provides both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills on:
Typical sources and contaminants of wastewater produced from oil refining and petrochemical industries
Refinery and petrochemical Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) impacts and benefits
Conventional refinery and petrochemical wastewater treatment plants
Current development status of wastewater treatment technologies
Latest on wastewater recycle / reuse for oil refining and petrochemical industries (ZLD)

Course Methodology
A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions as well as case studies will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge and experience transfer. This Gulf Rowad Oil Refinery & Petrochemical Industry Wastewater Treatment training course will be intensive but practical and highly interactive The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody finding the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their own questions and to share developing the right answers using their own analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance learning. Course material through power point equipped with necessary animation, learning videos and general discussions will be provided.
Course Objectives
By the end of this Gulf Rowad training course participants will be able to:
