Case study - Fuel depot

In September 2006, Procon installed an Ultraspin  system to assist Total SA with the treatment of oily water wastes from heavy vehicle workshop & vehicle washing. Here are the details of this case study of a fuel depot:

Product: SE: Oily Water Systems

Industry: Oil Industry: Fuel Depot (Maintenance Workshops)

Client: Total South Africa

Location: Windhoek

Application: Treatment of oily water wastes from heavy vehicle workshop & vehicle washing. Oil is collected in an above ground tank with automatic drain back to the water collection pit.

Equipment Supplied: 0S35 (3.5 m 3/h unit)

Typical Process Data: Treated Water Flow up to 3.5m 3

Pump Feed Pressure: 300 to 400 kPa

Temperature: 5 to 25 ° C

Oil Type:

• Diesel
• Engine oil
• Lubrication oil

Design influent:

• Oil and grease (mg/l): 90 to 2500
• Suspended solids (mg/l) 1000 to 199

Design Effluent:

• Oil and grease (mg/l): <10 to < 50
• Suspended solids (mg/l): <100

Start up date: September, 2006

Discharge Source: Storm water

System Advantages:

• System performance easily within stormwater discharge limits
• Low operating and maintenance cost
• Performance improvements can be made
• Very small footprint compared to C.P.S
• Pressurised water and oil discharges
