Treatment of oil waste water toolkit.
Sustainable process-product development & green chemistry
Environmental Engineering & Management (T1-3P)
Keywords: oil-wastewater, treatment, environmental engineering
Present system was developed to provide process engineers with an opportunity of fast search of the necessary treatment equipment, information about water purification systems and elimination methods of consequences of oil spills and other accidents; and by means of integrated expert part given system depending on drain properties and other sufficient characteristics is able to search for and analyze proper water treatment technology, equipment etc.
Treatment of oil waste water toolkit (TOWW toolkit) consists of Informational System with 5 databases, search system and expert part. Databases include the following information:
• on equipment and schemes of waste water treatment at petroleum and refining;
• elimination methods of oil spill and consequences of damage;
• patent information;
• reviews.
The list of present databases is:
"Waste water of petroleum refining industry and storm flows"
"Waste water in petroleum production"
"Patent Information"
"Review of Investigations"
"Accident Elimination"
Search system is developed in terms of algorithm full-text fuzzy search. Capabilities of the search system are:
• flexible search algorithm;
• Russian or English languages for search request;
• search engine uses the annotation of documents.
• user-friendly interface;
Expert part includes two main modules: Case Module and Adviser.
Case module provides previously stored information about treatment sequences that was obtained from real-life situations and it can retrieve the most similar cases to the current problem. The module is capable of defining a similarity between cases containing both numeric and textual-symbolic information.
The adviser can generate a sequence of treatment technologies for given water characteristics. This is based on an analysis of influent characteristics and the recommended methods for the removal of specific contaminants.
Present system can be useful in different areas such as chemical / civil / environmental engineering, environmental sciences and management, and it can also be used as an educational tool for training on wastewater treatment technologies.
The development of present System for oil-wastewater treatment was supported by BP.
Presented Monday 17, 13:30 to 15:00, in session Environmental Engineering & Management (T1-3P).
