Laboratory scale treatment of effluent obtained from the refinery of Algiers was carried out after oil separation by means of an API separator. The kinetics of the efficiency of treatment by flocculation with ferric chloride followed by decantation was studied using a continuous pilot plant. The decision was based on the short reaction time, characteristic of physico-chemical rather than biological methods. Under such conditions, an optimum flocculation time was determined by the maximum efficiency of removal of phenol and hydrocarbons from the wastewater. |
