Isfahan Oil Refinery has been operating in the field of crude oil refining and petroleum products production and downstream feedstuffs since 1979 and now produces about 23% of the country’s petroleum products.
The company is located in the northwest of Isfahan with a total area of 340 hectares.
Our proposal consists of water treatment system according to project documentation:
Total flow rate divided into three parts and each other enters in separate Ultrafiltration system with capacity 4000 m3/d or 166.6 m3/h.
Ultrafiltration (UF) involves pressure-driven separation of materials from a feed solution. The technology is used to remove particulate and microbial contaminants, but it does not remove ions and small molecules. Pressure drives the process, which typically operates with a feed pressure of 4 to 100 psig. UF plants are automated and have low operational labor requirements. These systems, however, can require frequent cleaning.
Ultrafiltration systems are designed for fully automatic operation. A control mechanism is used to control the various operating modes of the ultrafiltration process: filtration, cleaning and backwashing.
Typical UF design with dizzer modules could be found in following Figure.
Our task in this project is to purify the water by an ultrafiltration system to achieve ideal water parameters for RO feed.
