efforts, evaluate membrane bioreactor 

(MBR) technology as a competitive 

alternate to conventional activated 

sludge system (aeration basin and 

clarifier). This will be done by 

conducting pilot scale testing of a MBR 

system to treat refinery wastewater 

alongside conventional biological 

treatment. This setup will allow a 

quality comparison to be conducted. 

Preferably, both normal conditions as 

well as various upset conditions will be 

evaluated. Simulated upset conditions 

to be considered may include oil & 

grease upsets and possibly pH swing, 

high organic or nitrogen loading, and 

excessive debris or other solids that 

could potentially foul membrane. 

Current plans are that effluent from the 

MER will be analyzed for potential 

recycle/reuse applications (e.g., cooling 

tower makeup). The project will attempt 

to determine if this wastewater 

treatment technology is comparable or 

superior in operability and effluent 

quality to conventional biological 

treatment. Information regarding 

participation in this venture may be 

obtained from: Mr. Ryan Couture; 

ExxonMobil Research and Engineering 

Company; 3225 Gallows Road; Fairfax, 

VA 22037.
