Tank Terminal Wastewater Treatment

A leading tank terminal operator with a commitment to innovation and sustainable infrastructure wanted to validate Aquacycl’s BioElectrochemical Treatment Technology (BETT®) to treat wastewater from hydrocarbon storage. The primary objective of the pilot was to demonstrate the BETT system can be used to achieve permit discharge compliance.

The system was evaluated under different operating conditions over four months, including a stress test which added tank sludge and concentrated ether (both of which are currently being hauled away) to estimate the maximum removal rate.
