Advanced Refinery Wastewater Upgrading & Deep Purification Project | MOTIVA Oxidation Technology

MOTIVA provides advanced catalytic oxidation technologies for refinery wastewater treatment, effectively reducing COD and ensuring full compliance with discharge standards for industrial effluents.

MOTIVA’s high-efficiency catalyst is composed of various active metal oxides and elemental metals. Using advanced 3D framework structures under high-temperature conditions, we increase the number and uniformity of micropores, resulting in larger surface area and higher catalytic activity. Under identical oxidation conditions, the catalyst improves oxidation efficiency by 30%–80%.

Key Features

• Excellent Removal Efficiency: Final effluent meets or exceeds China’s Industrial Wastewater Discharge Standards.
• Cost-effective Operation: Small footprint, low construction cost, long service life, and low O&M costs.
• Wide Application Range: Effective for diverse industrial effluents, especially those containing complex organics and heavy metals.

Application Scope

1. Pretreatment for highly concentrated, toxic, and refractory organic wastewater (e.g., pharmaceuticals, petrochemical, coking, tanning, electro-coating, fermentation, etc.)
2. Treatment of heavy metal-bearing wastewater from electroplating, PCB manufacturing, metallurgy, and mining industries
3. Pretreatment of low-COD but poor biodegradability wastewater from chemical and pharmaceutical production
4. Retrofitting of outdated or non-compliant wastewater plants
5. Projects requiring low-cost operation and energy savings
