DES PLAINES, Ill., Jan. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) announced today that industrial wastewater technology
from Honeywell UOP will help a Wyoming refinery remove contaminants from its
wastewater to meet new environmental requirements.
HollyFrontier Cheyenne Refining LLC has selected Honeywell UOP's
XCeed™ bioreactor technology to remove selenium from wastewater at
its 52,000 barrel-per-day refinery in Cheyenne, Wyo. The high-performance unit will
process approximately 1 million gallons per day of wastewater when
it goes online this year.
"Honeywell UOP's XCeed bioreactor technology was selected above
other technologies after a successful field demonstration for
selenium removal," said Jim Stump,
senior vice president of refining for HollyFrontier. "Honeywell UOP
has a long history as a supplier to HollyFrontier's subsidiaries.
Adding this new technology will help HollyFrontier continue to meet
its environmental commitments by further polishing the refinery's
treated effluent water."
Honeywell UOP's XCeed bioreactor technology removes organic and
inorganic contaminants to help industrial, manufacturing and
groundwater remediation facilities meet contaminant removal
specifications for wastewater discharge or reuse. Watch a video on
how XCeed removes contaminants from wastewater.
"Honeywell UOP is working with HollyFrontier to deliver this
project as a turnkey solution," said Rebecca Liebert, vice president and general
manager of Honeywell UOP's Catalysts, Adsorbents and Specialties
business. "With more than 50 successful installations, the XCeed
bioreactor system is a reliable and cost-effective solution for
food and beverage companies, chemical and textile manufacturers,
refinery and petrochemical facilities, and for groundwater
remediation, to meet increasingly strict wastewater regulations
worldwide."
This advanced biological technology is based on Honeywell UOP's
expertise in reactor design, applied microbiology and process
control that enables long biomass retention time, resulting in
efficient selenium removal with low sludge production, low energy
consumption, low maintenance and minimal operator
attention.
Other Honeywell UOP separations technologies have been
commercially proven in many water applications, including the
removal of radioactive contaminants from water at the Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan.
HollyFrontier is an independent petroleum refiner, with
operations throughout the Midwestern, Southwestern and Rocky
Mountain regions. Subsidiaries of HollyFrontier produce and market
gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, asphalt, heavy products and specialty
lubricant products.
For more than a century, Honeywell UOP has been developing
technologies for the world's oil and gas companies, including
solutions for removal of challenging contaminants. For more
