In order to maintain its margins in a cyclical market, leaders petroleum sector must constantly look into ways of reducing costs. Water treatment is one of the operations which may lead to savings.

The HPI industry uses huge volumes of water, it is therefore important to bring consumption under control in order to reduce the amount of water required from the natural environment. Reusing process wastewater and reducing the amount of pollution generated by effluents and sludge are of primary concern in the refinerie and petrochemical industries.

John Meunier's technological expertise in this area covers the full water cycle, sludge management and some in-process solutions:

• make-up water;
• boiler feed water ( RO, Demin, etc.);
• wastewater treatment;
• re-use and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD);
• bio & oily sludge dewatering, centrifugation, incineration;
• VOC control.
