Sour Water Treating
Sour Water Processing and Sour Water Strippers provide the necessary treatment of refinery and processing plant water wash and wastewater streams to return to the process or to be safely disposed of through traditional wastewater treatment plants. Principal Technology's team can provide the technical expertise to improve your Sour Water operations, from operations support, training, and performance studies to equipment upgrades or complete turn-key unit construction.
A well-designed Sour Water Unit provides efficient and reliable water stripping with the flexibility to absorb upstream process upsets without compromising the downstream sulfur unit feed stream stability.
Our team has the knowledge and experience to design and support:
- Steam Stripping
- Reboilers
- Condensers
- Refluxed Columns
- Pump Around Columns
- Trayed Columns
- Packed Columns
- Sour Water Separators
- Fresh / Stripped Water Exchangers
- Sour Water Filtration
- Two-Stage Strippers
- Sour Water Acid Gas Piping and Instrumentation
Our design approach includes:
- Sour Water / Liquid Hydrocarbon / Offgas Separators
- Multi-Day Sour Water Storage for feed normalization
- Stripping towers
- Feed Bottoms Heat Recovery
- Overhead Condensers
For small-capacity solutions, PTI has developed an integral overhead condenser and reflux system that eliminates the need for separate reflux drums and pumps, helping reduced capital expenses.
