SECTOR

PETROCHEMICAL

The petrochemical and refining industries require particularly rigorous water management, both due to their high water consumption and the complexity of their effluents, which may contain hydrocarbons, phenols, sulfides, metals, and high levels of organic and saline loads.

At Prosimed, we develop advanced solutions to treat these effluents, improve water efficiency, facilitate regulatory compliance, and promote internal water reuse, even in projects aimed at Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD).

WATER AND OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES

Petrochemical plants and refining facilities face unprecedented regulatory, operational, and cost challenges.

Y

Complex and Fluctuating Effluents

Effluents combine free and emulsified hydrocarbons, refractory organic compounds, high COD/BOD levels, and high conductivity, requiring specific and resilient treatment processes.

Y

Regulatory Pressure and Reputational Risk

Environmental regulations impose increasingly strict discharge limits for parameters such as oils, fats, phenols, and metals, with severe penalties for any non-compliance.

Y

Protection of critical equipment

Feedwater for high-pressure boilers and cooling towers requires extreme purity to prevent scaling, corrosion, unscheduled shutdowns, and costly maintenance.

Y

Global water stress

Drinking water shortages and withdrawal restrictions are forcing plants to seek operational self-sufficiency through the circular economy.

HOW PROSIMED CAN HELP YOU:

With over 30 years of technical experience in the design, manufacturing, and engineering of water treatment plants, Prosimed offers robust, automated solutions that ensure the continuity of your processes in accordance with international safety standards.

$

Efficient Hydrocarbon Separation and Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)

We implement API and CPI separators, as well as advanced Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems, optimized for the large-scale removal of oils, fats, and emulsified hydrocarbons, thereby protecting subsequent biological treatment stages.

$

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP)

Application of ozonation, Fenton, and UV technologies to destroy recalcitrant organic compounds and non-biodegradable phenols that elude conventional treatments.

$

New equipment resulting from 2.5 years of research

Ask about it. It makes water that is very difficult to biodegrade biodegradable.

$

Industrial Membrane Bioreactors (MBR)

We design MBR plants capable of withstanding peaks in organic load and toxicity, achieving optimal COD degradation and completely retaining biological sludge using ultrafiltration membranes with high mechanical strength.

$

Funding and Incentive Management

We help you structure the economic viability of your plant, including access to public grants and innovation funds for decarbonization and industrial water efficiency.

$

Advanced Membrane Technologies

High-pressure reverse osmosis systems and specialized configurations for the demineralization of process water, enabling the direct reuse of treated water as a feed for cooling towers or as a precursor to deionized water for boilers.

$

“Turnkey” Projects Compliant with ATEX Standards

We develop comprehensive engineering solutions (EPC) that strictly comply with industrial safety regulations, explosive atmosphere (ATEX) standards, and instrumentation requirements specific to the chemical sector.

Cutting-Edge Engineering for a Sustainable Future

Maximizing water efficiency in the petrochemical sector reduces operating costs related to water intake and discharge fees, while mitigating regulatory risk and strengthening your corporate sustainability strategy. With Prosimed’s support, you can turn environmental challenges into competitive advantages and ensure operational safety.
