Environmental Benefits:
Operation of the DGF allows reduction of over 2MM lb/yr of oily water waste that would otherwise have to be disposed of off-site. Furthermore, it prepares the waste water stream for further recovery of benzene utilizing the steam stripping process. The new vent system on the API separator reduced approximately 8 M lb/yr of organic vapor, including 4M lb/yr benzene, vented to atmosphere.
