“…One of the main advantages of EC is that short treatment time is required in comparison with other treatment methods. For instance, (Lohi et al 2008) used threephase fluidized bed reactor to achieve removal efficiency of 90 % for COD which took several days; however, in this research, EC method is used to achieve removal efficiency of 99 % for COD in 40 min. 2.…”

This study investigated the diesel and COD removal from oily wastewater by electrocoagulation. Experiments were conducted in a 2-l reactor using aluminum and iron electrodes. Effects of different parameters including pH (3-11), time (10-60 min), voltage (4.5-10.5 V), supporting electrolyte (NaCl concentration), electrode material and initial diesel concentration (3500-11,000 mg/L) were studied in order to evaluate the efficiency of electrocoagulation. Furthermore, the consumption of energy and the amount of sludge produced by this method were evaluated. The highest removal efficiency (COD removal of 99.1 ± 0.2 % and diesel removal of 98.8 ± 0.2 %) was observed under the following conditions: pH 7, 40 min, 10.5 V, NaCl concentration of 0.5 g/ L, diesel concentration of 3500 mg/L. The consumption of energy was estimated to be 6.47 kWh/m 3 , and the amount of sludge generated was 1995 mg/L. The results demonstrated that the electrocoagulation is a feasible technique for treatment of heavily contaminated petroleum refinery wastewater.

BACKGROUND: Ex situ bioremediation is a feasible and economical way to remove petroleum pollutants from contaminated soil or water. A baffled roller bioreactor was shown to be effective for biodegradation of diesel oil as a model petroleum pollutant. Microorganisms enriched from an industrially contaminated soil with heavy hydrocarbons were shown to be the best inoculum source for diesel biodegradation.

“…The three-phase (gas-liquid-solid) FBBR has been successfully applied in aerobic biological treatment of industrial and municipal wastewaters [4][5][6][7][8]. The reactor outperforms other reactor configurations used in wastewater treatment such as the activated sludge system and packed-bed (or trickling-filter) reactor [1,2].…”
