efforts, evaluate membrane bioreactor
(MBR) technology as a competitive
alternate to conventional activated
sludge system (aeration basin and
clarifier). This will be done by
conducting pilot scale testing of a MBR
system to treat refinery wastewater
alongside conventional biological
treatment. This setup will allow a
quality comparison to be conducted.
Preferably, both normal conditions as
well as various upset conditions will be
evaluated. Simulated upset conditions
to be considered may include oil &
grease upsets and possibly pH swing,
high organic or nitrogen loading, and
excessive debris or other solids that
could potentially foul membrane.
Current plans are that effluent from the
MER will be analyzed for potential
recycle/reuse applications (e.g., cooling
tower makeup). The project will attempt
to determine if this wastewater
treatment technology is comparable or
superior in operability and effluent
quality to conventional biological
treatment. Information regarding
participation in this venture may be
obtained from: Mr. Ryan Couture;
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering
Company; 3225 Gallows Road; Fairfax,
