“…They however, stated that the composition was highly depended on the crude oil quality, origin of wastewater contaminants and operating conditions of the refineries. Similarly, Mustapha [23], characterized secondary refinery wastewater and found that the wastewater was composed of organic and inorganic compounds including salts, suspended solids and metals varying from 12.2 ± 0.3 to 253.0 ± 0.7 NTU, 146.7 ± 0.1 to 446.0 ± 0.4 mg/L TDS, 161.7 to 782.5 mg/L TS, 10.4 to 283.1 mg/L BOD, 40.2 to 520.8 mg/L COD, 0.01 to 3.4 mg/L Cr, 0.01 to 0.06 mg/L Pb0.01 to 1.16 mg/L phenol and 0.7 to 14.2 mg/L O&G, suggesting that the secondary wastewater can adequately be treated with CWs for reuse purposes or safely discharge into the environment. Consequently, Lin et al reported that about 45% of produced water from onshore activities is reused for conventional oil and gas operations.…”

“…Constructed wetlands (CWs) are man-made wastewater treatment facilities duplicating the processes occurring in natural wetlands. They consist of shallow ponds or channels, which have been planted with aquatic plants and rely on natural microbial, biological, physical and chemical processes to treat wastewater [23]. This process is a complex, integrated system in which water, plants, animals, and microorganisms and natural elements interact to improve water quality [29].…”

“…Constructed wetlands are used for all types of wastewater treatment around the world. If they are correctly built, operated, and maintained [23] they can effectively restore sites of a wide variety of contaminants ranging from BOD, suspended solids, nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, volatile organics, semi-volatile organics, petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides and herbicides, PAHs, chlorinated solvents, to non-chlorinated solvents in storm water or municipal, agricultural and industrial wastewaters. Paz-Alberto et al [31] mentioned that the effectiveness of a green technology such as CW is dependent on sufficient biomass production and contaminant accumulations into its tissues.…”

“…The refinery uses large volume of water for processing crude oil into its finished products and it discharges large quantities of wastewater into the environment. It discharges approximately 100, 000 m 3 /day of secondary treated wastewater [23]. The discharged effluent is composed of oil and grease, hydrocarbons, phenols, nutrients, and heavy metals [34].…”

Cleaner production is the key to environmental sustainability. Conversion of crude oil to various beneficial products is responsible for the contamination of air, water, and soil which are harmful to human, plants, animals, public health and the environment. Adequately treating produced water is beneficial for irrigation, wildlife consumption, industrial water and for domestic purposes. Therefore, green technology for treatment of crude oil processed water would provide the environmental friendliness needed for prolong utilization of our natural resources. Hence, the aim of this book chapter is to investigate the potentials of constructed wetland as a promising, effective and environmentally friendly alternative for secondary petroleum refinery wastewater treatment. Planted and unplanted mesocosm scale experiment with real secondary refinery wastewater was used for the purpose of the study. The parameters investigated were temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, total suspended solids, carbon oxygen demand, total petroleum hydrocarbon and oil and grease. The results revealed that Typha latifolia planted VSSF CWs effectively treated organic contaminants in secondary refinery wastewater with a better performance than the unplanted control VSSF CWs. The chromatographs for wastewater and T. latifolia samples showed a hydrocarbon distribution between n-C9 to n-C24 indicating abundance of lower weight hydrocarbon contamination.

Huge amount of oily wastewater is annually discharged from several activities such as oil refineries, chemical and petrochemical industries. Several methods are employed for the treatment of oily wastewater including physical, chemical, and biological techniques in order to minimize the harmful impacts before being reused. The present study compares the treatability among three different types of nanoparticles NPs (MCM-41, MWCNT and BaFe2O4) to remove oil content from real oily wastewater discharged from refinery process under the effect of the operational variables which are the dose of the effective NPs (0.025-0.10 g), agitation speed (100-250 rpm), and the contact time (5-120 min) using batch-scale. RSM design method and Minitab program were performed to design the experiments and to estimate the mathematical correlations and the optimum values of the operational variables. Various devices were employed to test the properties of nanoparticles such as Xray diffraction, SEM and FTIR. The results revealed that the (MCM-41) type possesses the higher treatability in comparison to other types. Moreover, the Langmuir isotherm gives a better fit than the Freundlich isotherm model. The optimum values of the operational parameters obtained were 0.063g, 162rpm and 120min for the dosage of MCM-41 NPs, agitation speed and the contact time respectively. The oil content removal efficiency at these conditions of the optimum values was 98.3% as observed which proofs the treatability of MCM-41 NPs in case of real oily wastewater.

In order to bring the chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration down to safe levels for widespread use, this study plans to use a state-of-the-art electrocoagulation reactor (ECR) to treat real oily wastewater discharged from the Al-Muthanna petroleum re nery. A One-Side Finned (1SF) cathode tube was positioned between two tubular anodes in the continuous ECR, where the active area of the cathode was much more than its submerged volume. Each of these electrodes was made of aluminum and joined in a monopolar parallel to a DC power supply. On COD elimination e ciency, the impacts of operational parameters such as electrolysis time (4-60 min), current density (0.630-5.000 mA/cm 2 ), and ow rate (50-150 ml/min) were explored. In conclusion, Increasing current density and electrolysis duration increases COD removal e ciency, whereas increasing ow rate reduces it. COD removal e ciencies were 82% at optimal electrolysis times of 60 (min), 5 (mA/cm 2 ) current density, and 50 (ml/min) ow rate, with energy consumption of 4.787 (kwh/kg COD ) and electrode consumption of 0.544. (g).The investigation results demonstrated that the new reactor could treat oily wastewater within the speci ed operational limits. It might be used before other, more conventional treatments.
