Description

This report is intended to be a basic guide and information resource for all wastewater operations at petroleum products terminals. It includes the regulatory framework for wastewater issues, a detailed description of the sources of terminal wastewater and associated contaminants, guidance on means for analyzing the wastewater situation at a terminal, on means for minimizing wastewater flow and contamination, on means for handling and disposing of wastewater, and on available methods for treating wastewater with various types of contaminants. The regulatory discussion focuses on the effects of wastewater and hazardous waste regulations on wastewater handling and treatment. This is followed by a description of petroleum products terminals operations and associated wastewater generation and typical contaminants. The remainder of the report covers methods for investigating and designing wastewater operations at terminals. First is an overview of wastewater handling, treatment, and disposal options. Means for characterization and minimization of terminal wastewater flow and contamination are covered. Last is an overview of wastewater treatment options for terminal wastewater. The types of treatment appropriate for removing various types of contaminants are listed, along with opportunities for source reduction of these contaminants. General factors for wastewater treatment are outlined and wastewater treatment methods applicable to the types of contaminants expected in petroleum products terminal wastewater are reviewed.
