Wastewater that comes into contact petroleum fractions cannot be treated at municipal water treatment facilities. This is because municipal water treatment does not have the equipment to clean the pollutants that are added to the water during petroleum processing.

Municipal water treatment facilities clean the water of sewage and storm run off. The kind of toxic chemicals found in the petroleum refining waste water contain poisonous compounds which under normal circumstances would never come into contact with any water stream. For instance, a multitude of hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds, such as benzene and heteroatom compounds like mercaptans, amines, phenols, cyanide’s.

All of which a municipal waste water facilities is not capable of removing to a safe level for release back into the environment.
