Transforming Wastewater into Resource
Overview: Bazan oil refinery, Israel’s largest petrochemical producer, required a retrofit of an existing effluent reuse facility to meet strict environmental standards for treating 15,600 m³/d of industrial wastewater.
BlueGen Water Solution: implementation of an integrated Airlift MBR + RO + EDI system on wastewater, producing high-quality demineralized water for use in cooling towers and boilers, contributing to a circular economy.
Bluegen Water expanded the production capacity within its current footprint and infrastructure, thereby minimizing both costs and disruptions to the ongoing plant operations.
Replaced the conventional Ultrafiltration (UF) system with an advanced Airlift MBR, enhancing treatment effectiveness and reliability.
Refining water quality by adding a biological polishing step to the RO concentrate.
Achieved a 2.5 times concentration of impurities in the effluent, alongside a 60% process recovery rate using an efficient wastewater management system.
With a populace of two million depending on the diminishing quality of water from the Yamuna River, traditional methods fell short of meeting strict standards and providing the city with a sustainable solution. The Agra water treatment plant faced seasonal variations, increased ammonia levels, and the influx of contaminants from upstream Sewage Treatment Plants. These challenges required the implementation of a new approach to ensure the delivery of safe and high-quality drinking water.
Situated on Israel’s Mediterranean Sea coast, Bat-Yam, south of Tel Aviv on the Central Coastal Plain, confronts a significant challenge with its well water. These wells contain elevated levels of organic contaminants, detergents, and Simazine, prompting the need for an upgrade to align with the latest Israeli standards for drinking water quality.
