Any economic activity executed according to modern requirements of nature management should not lead to irreversible violations of the natural environment; it is very seldom achieved in practice. Mining, transportation, storage and usage of oil products are the most agressive sectors by the amount of technogenic factors that negatively influence the natural environment. At the modern stage of development of technologies, applied in the oil industry, and because of various accidents, more than 3 million tons of oil waste is generated only in Russia annually, the predominant amount of the waste is accumulated in sludge pits [1]. About 100 million tons of the oil waste has been accumulated in total. The waste of the oil industry is a source of environmental pollution and represents danger, because an effective technology of waste disposal is missing [2]. Analysis of technological solutions for the oil products waste processing with the production of materials applied in construction and other sectors during processing will not only reduce ecological damage from accumulation and storage of waste, but also provide quality products.

Given there is development of state-of-the art technologies in the field of water treatment and the demanding requirements for environmental control, as well as trends in the cost increase of chemicals and usage costs of primary resources, it deemed necessary to modernize the water treatment and water purification systems in such a way as: firstly, to minimize discharges as such; secondly, to increase the degree of use of circulating water; thirdly, using modern non-reagent cleaning technologies to minimize the consumption of necessary chemical agents, which has a complex effect – both in merely economic terms (procurement, transportation, storage, movement and control), and from a practical perspective – increasing the environmental safety of production, area release, etc.

The object of research in this article is the wastewater of oil stabilization production. Wastewater from oil refining and petrochemicals is highly toxic and poses a serious environmental hazard with existing wastewater volumes. The purification of these effluents to the parameters stipulated by the current regulatory requirements is practically impossible by traditional methods. In addition, in some cases, high contamination of water used in technological processes leads to significant economic losses, often irreversible. The low efficiency of wastewater treatment in the oil stabilization production negatively affects the reservoir pressure maintenance system for a number of reasons, one of which is an increased content of suspended solids that cause the formation to be calcified in the bottom-hole zone and lower well injectivity, which, in turn, leads to significant production losses oil. The actual service life of sewage pipelines containing hydrogen sulfide and oxygen does not exceed two years. The overhaul period of operation of pumps in the wastewater transport system is 0.2–0.3 years. The low efficiency of wastewater treatment is associated with the use of a morally obsolete system of treatment facilities, one of the significant drawbacks of which is the presence of open settling ponds. Lack of recycled water supply affects the costs associated with the use of fresh water. The volume of fresh water purchased for technological needs is estimated at thousands of cubic meters per day. At the enterprise under consideration, treatment facilities with a traditional technological scheme function. The authors of the article identified the reasons for the lack of effectiveness of these facilities and concluded that it is necessary to improve technologies and wastewater treatment schemes.
