Abstract:

Petroleum hydrocarbons are organic pollutants of major concern due to their wide distribution, persistence, complex composition, and toxicity. They can bioaccumulate in food chains where they disrupt biochemical or physiological activities and can affect genetic integrity of many organisms, resulting in carcinogenesis, mutagenesis and impairment of reproductive capacity. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been recognized as priority pollutants due to their carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic properties. Bioremediation, which utilizes the metabolic versatility of microorganisms su

Thesis (MSc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Landfarming is a widely used method for the disposal of contaminants in the petrochemical industry. It involves ploughing the contaminants into the top soil layer allowing biological breakdown. A historically landfarmed site was identified at a South African petrol refinery. The refinery used to dispose so-called American Petroleum Institute (API) -sludge onto a landfarming site. API-sludge consisted of a mixture of oil and water soluble contaminants originating from a process of separating refinery waste from reusable water

Abstract:

<p> CO<sub>2</sub> flooding has proven to be an effective technique for enhanced oil recovery. However, the application of CO<sub>2</sub> flooding in the recovery process of asphaltenic crude systems is often avoided, as high asphaltene precipitation rates may occur. While the effects of asphaltene concetration and CO<sub>2</sub> injection pressure on asphaltene precipitation rate have been the focus of many studies, asphaltene precipitation rate is not a reliable factor to predict the magnitude of asphaltene-induced formation damage. Wettability alteration is only caused by the immobile aspha

Batch activated sludge treatability studies utilizing petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soils (diesel oil and leaded gasoline) were conducted to determine: (1) initial indigenous biological activity in hydrocarbon-contaminated soils; (2) limiting factors of microbiological growth by investigating nutrient addition, chemical emulsifiers, and cosubstrate; (3) acclimation of an indigenous population of microorganisms to utilize hydrocarbons as sole carbon source; and (4) temperature effects. Soil samples were taken from three different contaminated sites. Four sequencing batch reactors were r

Abstract:

The stormwater basin at the Murphy Oil USA Inc petroleum refinery in Meraux, Louisiana contained approximately 6000-9000 cubic yards of oily sludge. Oily sludge of this type would be classified hazardous waste by the recently promulgated Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure regulation (Federal Register, March 29, 1990). Land ban regulations (Federal Register, August 17, 1988) would prevent the land disposal of such waste A search of the literature showed that oil and grease and the specific land ban organics (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, anth

Abstract:

One major problem facing the petroleum industry today is to find an acceptable approach to manage oily sludge generated during the petroleum processes. Scented Geraniums (Pelargonium sp. 'Frensham') have demonstrated a great ability to survive rough conditions (poor soil, high/low temperatures, high heavy metals concentrations, low water content, etc.). Subsequently, an investigation using Scented Geraniums was performed in a series of pots containing oily sludge where heavy metal concentrations were artificially increased up to 2000 ppm. In a period of 50 days, plants were grown in two system

Abstract:

The treatment and disposal of petroleum oily sludges represent major challenges for petroleum industries. The oily sludges consume a high portion of a refiner's budget and pose a serious threat to the environment. Montreal and Kyoto protocols introduced significant restrictions on the disposal of petroleum wastes and reduced the options available for treating this type of hazardous wastes. This research considered the application of bioremediation principles to petroleum oily sludge using a new testing technique. Approximately, 35% of the total petroleum hydrocarbons, and 81% of the aliphatic
