In this presentation we will review a case study of Shell and BP’s South African oil refinery (SAPREF, terminal area). SAPREF was searching for a solution for accumulated wastewater that had been in storage for over 18 months. The process they chose was a one-time biological solution. Water samples from the site were taken to the lab where an appropriate bacteria mix was developed for it and the storage tank itself was turned into a bio-reactor. The whole process took approximately two weeks. In comparison to industry standards, the installation required a significantly smaller footprint and provided a more environmentally responsible, cost-effective solution. This technology poses a benefit to the industry as well as the environment owing to its process simplicity and the virtually sludge-free outputs.

The following case study discusses the installation of BPC's ACT treatment at the Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline Company (EAPC), following a successful pilot project in 2007. BPC was able to treat drainage and ballast waters on-site by using a fully-automated biological skid-mount system. Throught the BPC cost-effective solution, EAPC was able to improve and control the quality of their wastewater.
