Oil Refinery and Petrochemical Industry Wastewater Treatment
Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,500
Overview
Petroleum refining and petrochemical industries unavoidably generate large volumes of wastewater. As environmental regulations for wastewater disposal are getting stricter, and freshwater resources are becoming increasingly limited, the industry requires more efficient management and reuse of this wastewater.
Learning Objectives
Learn the purpose, principles of operation and limitations of the different wastewater treatment technologies in oil refining and petrochemical industries
Understand how to establish high recovery of wastewater for reuse onsite, reducing freshwater intake and meeting strict regulatory requirements
Understand the advanced cost-effective technologies for the reduction of waste volume and obtain Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
Learn how to reduce the energy consumption and operational costs of the wastewater treatment facilities and optimize treatment conditions
Learn industry-standard targets for wastewater prior to discharge or reuse
Identify the impact of pollution on the environment
Modify treatment facilities operating conditions according to the properties of incoming polluted wastewater
Improve the operability and reliability of equipment

What do Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses cover?
The portfolio spans the full value chain: upstream exploration, drilling and well control; midstream processing, pipelines and gas treatment; and downstream refining and petrochemicals — plus process safety management (PSM), HAZOP studies, corrosion control and plant operations. Trainers are practitioners from the sector.
Who should attend an oil, gas and petroleum course?
These courses suit process, production and petroleum engineers, plant and field operators and supervisors, maintenance and inspection staff, HSE and process safety professionals, and technical or commercial staff joining the sector from another industry.
How long are oil, gas and petroleum courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can oil, gas and petroleum training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team.
