| description | This paper presents a model based on which the system for purifying water from hydrocarbons was designed with an acceptable flow and water quality for discharge into surface waters. The purification includes extracting and processing the floating hydrocarbon layer, removing the wastewater layer, and extracting soft tar. The developed system consists of two complex (sub)systems: one for conditioning floating hydrocarbons and soft tar and another for treating accumulated water. These two (sub)systems are interconnected by water and tar residue. Environmental informatics, which includes simulation modelling, systems theory, and statistical methods, forms the basis of the methodology. The result is an adaptive model for purifying wastewater to the quality required for discharge into a natural recipient and with acceptable purification dynamics. |
