2. Since early 1990’s, the industry is developed
supported by Malaysian Government and Petroliam National Berhad
(PETRONAS)
Petrochemicals:
Chemicals derived from petroleum or natural gas.
The chemicals the used to manufacture the products people use every day.
Building blocks for body armor and other high-tech materials.
INTRODUCTION
3. Raw materials that keep safe while driving the car,
communications and also viewing website.
Products made of: plastic, medicines and
medical services, cosmetic, furniture, appliance,
TVs, radio, computer, part used in transportation,
solar power panel and wind turbines.
Organic chemicals derived from two feedstocks:
Natural gas liquid (NGL): natural gas processing
Oil refinery streams: Naphtha and light gas oil
4. Natural gas
liquid
Ethane, propane, butane: Cracked at
higher temperature to yield ethylene,
propylene, butylene and butadiene

8. CATEGORY OF WASTES
The category of wastes and code in First Schedule (Regulation 2) cited
under Environmental Quality (Scheduled Waste) Regulations 2005.
SW 3 Waste containing principally organic constituents who may
contain metals and inorganic materials
SW 308 Oil tanker sludges
SW 311 Waste of oil or oily sludge
SW 314 Oil or sludge from oil refinery plant maintenance operation
SW 315 Tar or tarry residues from oil refinery or petrochemical plant
SW 318 Waste, substances and articles containing or contaminated with
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) or polychlorinated triphenyls (PCT)
9. SW 319 Waste of phenols or phenol compounds including chlorophenol in the
form of liquids or sludges
SW 320 Waste containing formaldehyde
SW 321 Rubber or latex wastes or sludges containing organic solvents or
heavy metals
SW 325 Uncured resin waste containing organic solvents or heavy metals
including epoxy resin and phenolic resin
SW 4 Wastes which may contain either inorganic or organic constituents
SW 410 Rags, plastics, papers or filters contaminated with scheduled waste
SW 417 Waste of inks, paints, pigments, lacquer, dye or varnish
SW 425 Wastes from the production, formulation, trade or use of pesticides,
herbicides or biocides
SW 431 Waste from manufacturing or processing or use of explosives.
10. Production polyvinyl chloride (PVC), resin
manufacture, ethylene glycol (polyester), styrene and
also vinyl acetate
Oil sludge during oil tank cleaning operation and also
from
Residue fluid catalytic cracking (RFCC).

Storage and handling minshap
16. Handling of petrochemical plant
scheduled waste.
o Hazardous waste from petrochemical plant should be separated, handled
and disposed of separately from the other waste produced.
o Labeling of hazardous waste should include the content, the date- when
the container was filled and sealed and also an appropriate hazard-
warning label.
o Worker or those who in charge to handle the petrochemical scheduled
waste should wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as
heavy duty gloves, dust mask, safety glasses and overalls.
o All the oil sludge, used oil and slop oils from wastewater and other
hazardous waste from petrochemical plant must be put in a suitable
drum and containers. These containers must be leaks proof.
17. Procedure in storage scheduled waste
of petrochemical plant
i. Fenced and located separately from the general waste storage
area with a clear warning sign;
ii. Accessible for authorized persons only and should be locked
when no access required.
iii. Well ventilated and well lit;
iv. Located on well-drained, impervious hard-standing.
19. LABELING
• The container that containing scheduled waste
should be labeled by using a permanent marker
or paint and the labeling symbol from the third
scheduled under Environmental Quality
(scheduled wastes) regulations, 2005/1989.
• The label must include the following information
which is the words “scheduled or hazardous
waste”, a clear waste description and the
accumulation start date which is the first date of
waste was collected into a container,
22. Recommended treatment
and recovery
The alternatives to recycling or reuses process of
petrochemical waste;
I. The fuel olis residues that are generated from
olefin plants could be reuse as a feed for carbon
black production.
II. The waste olis can be refined and reused by
further process.
III. The low quality polymer produced can be in
plastic industries.
IV. Regenerated and reused the spent adsorbent
and molecular sieve.
23. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT/
RECOVERY
• Eliminate the odors and VOCs
• A cleaner, greener world
Dolan’s Green Solution
(DGS)
• Clean up oil spillsBOCs (Bioorganic
Catalysts)
• Oil dispersant & bioremediation accelerant used
in a cost manner directly in a water and ground.NONTOX
• Reducing energy & infrastructure cost
Ecosystem PLUS
• Perform cleaning product
• Breakdown of harmful chemicals before they
reach to the drain.

24. DISPOSAL OF SCHEDULED WASTES
o The scheduled waste from petrochemical plant
usually disposed at KualitiAlamSdn. Bhd.
o There are five major facilities of treatment and
disposal scheduled waste which is incineration
plant, physical and chemical treatment plant,
solidification, secure landfill and leachate
treatment plant.
o The used oils commonly undergo chemical
treatment and the other petrochemical wastes
were usually disposed at secure landfills and
incinerators.
25. CONCLUSION
Suitable technique to treats and handle
hazardous waste from petrochemical plants was
required to protect public health and
environments. Thus, reduced the hazardous
waste production and handling cost.
