Refinery Wastes and Treatment

REFINERY WASTES AND TREATMENT Waste elimination is common sense and provides several obvious benefits  

Solves the waste disposal problems created by land bans 

Reduces vulnerability to lawsuits and improves its public image 

Generates income from wastes that can be sold 

Yet waste elimination continues to elude many companies in every sector, including the refinery section and activity from refinery waste (which is a function of their production system design). It may not matter how a refiner categorizes the waste or how the refiner chooses to pursue waste elimination. One thing remains constant that once identified, waste can be eliminated. There are models and structures that allow a refiner to identify and eliminate waste to increase productivity, and hence cost structures, that have a direct impact on refinery operations and, more than all else, profitability. Waste elimination through identification (by judicious analysis) and treatment subscribe to the smooth operation of a refinery.
