Pretreatment of Industrial Wastewater for VOC
(Hydrocarbon) Removal
Kirby Mohr, P.E.
Overview
This course is intended for a
wide range audience of engineers and in particular engineers dealing with plant
water effluent streams directed to sanitary sewer facilities. Pretreatment of
industrial wastewater to remove hydrocarbons is often required so that the
hydrocarbons will not cause VOC emissions from sanitary sewer plants which
exceed regulatory limits.
In
this course you will get an overview of the technologies available to treat
plant effluent water, information on requirements and suggestions on how to
avoid pitfalls in specifying separators. A discussion of hydrocarbons in
wastewater and several methods of pretreatment are included as well as examples
of pretreatment systems and recommended criteria for choosing a pretreatment
system.
The student must take a
multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of this course to earn PDH credits.
