  DAF-Treated Lube Oil Wastewater (DTLOWW) Treatment: Performance of Bench Scale and Pilot Scale Fenton Process
  Author(s): Elmolla ESElmolla ES
  
  The lube oil wastewater is produced from Lube Oil Bending Facilities (LOBF) located in Egypt. Currently the lube oil wastewater is treated by oil separator followed by Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) system. Unfortunately, DAFTreated Lube Oil Wastewater (DTLOWW) contains high concentration of the soluble COD. The first part of this work examined the treatability of DAF-Treated Lube Oil Wastewater (DTLOWW) using bench-scale Fenton process. Effects of H2O2, Fe2+ doses at different reaction time and wastewater strength have been studied. Optimum H2O2 dose was 0.8 g/l for normal DTLOWW strength (sCOD<2000 mg/l) and 1.2 g/l for high DTLOWW strength (sCOD>2000 mg/l). Optimum H2O2/FeSO4 ratio of 3 was achieved for the normal and high strength DTLOWW at pH 3.5. The Second part of this work studied the performance of Pilot-scale Fenton process. Pilot scale Fenton reactor was installed in t.. Read More»
