Distribution of volatile organohalogen compounds in petrochemical plant water streams

Abstract

The study assesses halogenated volatile organic compound concentrations in the water and wastewaterstreams of a petrochemical plant. Water samples were collected at 11 sampling points during 5 samplingcampaigns. The samples were collected from the oil dewaxing unit and in the wastewater treatmentplant. Dichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane were the most frequently determined compounds. Tetrachloroethenewas also detected at the wastewater treatment plant inlets. The concentrations of halogenatedvolatile organic compounds dropped significantly at wastewater discharge points compared to wastewatertreatment plant inlets. The application of 1,2-dichloroethane/dichloromethane ratio as a tool to assessevaporation processes is discussed.
