PHENOLS REMOVAL FROM WASTEWATER

hen refineries purify crude oil to be used in products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, the raw crude oil has many contaminants that need to be removed such as ammonia and phenols. During the washing cycle, these phenols are removed from the crude oil and become attached to the water. Before the water can be discharged to the environment, the phenols must be removed and destroyed.

LANTERN uses a proprietary resin technology to absorb the phenols from the water, then, after the media is saturated with phenols, a regeneration process takes place to remove the phenols from the media and concentrate it into a liquid form for disposal.

Our two-step oxygen removal process:

Use specific membranes to get the oxygen down to levels < 1 ppm
Follow with a catalytic reaction, further decreasing oxygen down to levels < 5 ppb

Advantages to using our two-step oxygen removal process:

- Competing technologies are very expensive and generate a lot of secondary waste
- This product is very efficient

- Operating costs are low
- It doesn’t generate secondary waste

- Small footprint.

PROJECT BRIEFS

Rare Earth Mine Recycles Brine Stream for Acid and Caustic Production with LANTERN Multi-Stage Brine Conditioning System

When a rare earth mine in North America sought to improve efficiency by recovering brine for acid and caustic production, it turned to LANTERN for a brine conditioning circuit to handle its complex blend of contaminants.

Oil Refinery Replaces Old Softening Equipment and Reduces Boiler Makeup Water Hardness with UPCORE™ Softening System

When an oil refinery in West Virginia needed to replace its softening equipment with a more efficient system, LANTERN helped the client install and run an effective UPCORE™ ion exchange system for minimal hardness and maximum results.

Specialty Metals Producer Optimizes Cadmium Recovery, Leveraging LANTERN Ion Exchange Technology for Wastewater Treatment

When a specialty metals producer in the Midwest needed an efficient solution for capturing cadmium from its wastewater streams, it looked to LANTERN for an ion exchange (IX) solution to maximize its resources.
