The Gazprom Neft Moscow Refinery has started the construction of a modern facility for the treatment of sulphur-alkaline waste and process condensate. The new facility is designed to remove sulphides and ammonia-nitrogen from waste water. The new treatment system will ensure the highest ecological operating standards at the facility and will have a total operational capacity of 120 cu m/hr.
The basic design for the sulphur-alkaline and process condensate treatment facility, as well as all project documentation, was done by Russian engineering company NPF EITEK. The full treatment of waste water will be managed by two independent sections of the facility. The first section will manage the cleaning of effluents from plant facilities currently in operation, including the visbreaking unit, the light naptha isomerisation unit, the diesel fuels hydro cracking unit, the catalytic cracking facility, and others. The second section is intended to be used by a combined Euro+ oil refining facility, currently under construction.
The project foresees the use of its own run-off water for heating, which will considerably increase the energy efficiency of the new facility. In order to ensure the uninterrupted operation of all electrical equipment a new transformer substation will be erected at the plant.
