“…However, the observed mean concentration value of total petroleum hydrocarbons recorded in this work were found to be above that recorded by Edori and Kpee [52], on a work carried out in the Taylor Creek, which recorded as low as 2.461±2.687 to 10.009±4.145ml/L in the stations. The investigation by Ikpe, et al [44], of total petroleum hydrocarbons in Ethiope River, Oghara Community revealed that mean concentration was as low as 0,004±0.003 and 0,008±0.008mg/L and in Isibor and Freeman [53], total petroleum hydrocarbons concentration recorded was between range of not detected to 3.69±0.19mg/L, in a work conducted in Egboko River, which were far lower than that obtained from this work.…”

The level of contamination of Orashi River by total petroleum hydrocarbons were investigated through the collection of surface water samples and sediment samples from four locations along the river. Determination of the level of contamination was done with the use of gas chromatography-flame ionization detector after following laid down clean-up procedures. The results obtained showed that total petroleum hydrocarbons in the surface water were 10.913±2.2022mg/L, 7.645±2.683mg/L, 9.074±2.1654mg/L and 12.212±3.3034mg/L for stations 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively with a mean value of 9.961±2.5885mg/L, while in the sediment samples concentration values recorded were 22.3925±5.2104mg/Kg, 35.1071±9.9652mg/Kg, 50.4431±15.9916mg/Kg and 29.3869±8.0410mg/Kg for stations 1, 2 3 and 4 respectively with a mean value of 34.3324±9.8021mg/Kg. The partition coefficient calculations revealed that the sediment phase is more stable for total petroleum hydrocarbons as compared to the water phase. The analysis of the randomly collected samples revealed that total petroleum hydrocarbons have contaminated the river and therefore adequate steps should be taken to remedy the present condition of the Orashi River in order to mitigate any probable rise in the quantity of total petroleum hydrocarbons in the river above allowable limit.

“…In other to prevent any harm or contamination, the bottles are covered with sterile pieces of aluminum foil, after which the bottles were tightly covered with plastic screw. The bottles were then kept in an ice packed cooler to keep it at 4 o C then transported to the laboratory for sample pre-treatment and analysis [44].…”

The contamination of surface and groundwater through oil spillage resulting from the production and exploration of crude oil is a critical problem in the world today. This study is focused on constructing a simple and cheap technology using natural and readily available materials as filter beds for the remediation of water polluted by crude oil. Filter bed materials used were clay, corn cobs, activated carbon, fine sand, sand, egg shells, cotton wool, and pebbles. Four glass filters were blown from glass columns of lengths 32cm and inner diameters of 3.3cm each. The filter performance was assessed by analyzing the physical and chemical water quality determinants such as Turbidity level, pH TSS, Hardness, Nitrate, TDS COD, BOD, DO, and ECW. The total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) level was determined using gas chromatography and electron capture (GC-ECD). The result shows that the total petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants in water at an initial concentration of 77.09mg/L were adjusted to 5.07mg/L in the treated sample after 20 days. The results in this study suggest that the filter made of locally sourced materials purified crude oil contaminated water and can be used as an efficient water remediation tool for areas faced with oil spillage issues.

The total petroleum hydrocarbons content of the surface water and the sediments from the Orashi River were investigated between December 2019 and June 2020 at two months interval to find out the level of contamination of the river. The total petroleum hydrocarbons were determined by GC-FID using Agilent 5890N, after following due laboratory procedures of sample pretreatment and clean-up. The results recorded from the surface water were December,
