As long as the water stress increases and the expenses for fresh water and discharge fees are higher, many refineries and petrochemical facilities are demanding tertiary treatment technologies for effluent polishing. In this way, they are able to reuse the treated water within the industrial process, obtaining significant savings. Berghof offers the tubular UF technology with 5mm membranes for tertiary treatment, to be installed after the existing conventional biological treatment. With proven references operating successfully in refineries and petrochemical installations, we can help the Oi l& Gas industry to be more sustainable and cost-competitive.
When there is a need for improving the effluent quality in existing plants, tubular ultrafiltration is installed after the biological treatment, usually based on conventional activated sludge process. The effluent from the clarifier is fed to the ultrafiltration modules, producing a polished permeate and a concentrated reject, which is sent back to the DAF process.
The UF permeate can be discharged to a water body or been reused, either directly or after removing the dissolved compounds with reverse osmosis.
With 50 years of experience and more than 2.000 project references across the globe, Berghof Membranes is the leading manufacturer of high quality tubular membranes.

A dairy processor in Richland County, Wisconsin needed to find an efficient process to generate electricity and heat from their wastewater and to further treat anaerobic industrial wastewater.
In order to meet the increasing demand, Holland Malt has decided to double its
malting capacity. For this the company needed high-quality permeate to reuse for production.
Our OEM-Partner needed to design a robust and adaptable UF system that could keep up with the high-solid streams and conditions of this demanding process while minimizing OPEX and fouling.
