EFFLUENT AND WASTE SUMMARY

1. OBJECTIVE

1.1. Introduction
Venezuela has large reserves of hydrocarbons, in particular, extra heavy crude oil in the
Orinoco Oil Belt, at the south of Guárico, Anzoátegui and Monagas states. One of the
strategic objectives of PDVSA is to develop the production potential of these reserves in
order to transform them into higher value products.

In accordance with the above, it is considered the design and construction of one
Upgrading Complex in order to process 400 MBD (2 Upgraders of 200 MBD each) of
Extra Heavy Crude Oil from the Junín fields and one Upgrading Complex in order to
process 600 MBD (3 Upgraders of 200 MBD each) of Extra Heavy Crude Oil from the
Carabobo fields for conversion into Upgraded Crude Oil of 42° API.

PDVSA Intevep has the responsibility of developing the conceptual design of these
upgrading complexes in order to achieve the major goals of PDVSA.

1.2. Objective of Relief System Unit

The objective of the Relief System Unit (RSU unit 25) is to safely dispose of the
emergency relief streams from the different process units.

2. SCOPE OF DOCUMENT
The present document gives an estimate of the effluent and the waste rates generated by
Junín’s RSU unit.

EFFLUENT AND WASTE SUMMARY

4. EFFLUENT SUMMARY

4.1. Sour Water entrainments

In case sour water entrainments are caught in Acid Flare KO Drum V-25002 they would
be routed to the Sour Water Stripper Unit (unit 18) thanks to Acid Flare KO Drum pump
P-25002 A/S at a maximum flow rate of 8 m3/h.

4.2. Effluent Water from Water Seal.

Effluent Water is continuously produced from the Water Seal at bottom of Hydrocarbon
Flare Stack FLA-25001. Amounts are given Table 1.
Table 1. Effluent Water

Product t/h MMt/year

Effluent Water 5.0 0.040

5. WASTE SUMMARY
There is no waste generated in the RSU.
