Environmental contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons, mainly crude oil waste from refineries, is becoming prevalent worldwide. This study investigates the bioremediation of water contaminated with crude oil waste. Bacillus salamalaya 139SI, a bacterium isolated from a private farm soil in the Kuala Selangor in Malaysia, was found to be a potential degrader of crude oil waste. When a microbial ...

The article discusses the prospects for purification of industrial wastewater from phenols in oil refining, petrochemical and chemical industries with production waste. technological scheme treatment by modified carbonate sludge is given. In technologies, it proposed to use a large-tonnage energy waste - sludge. paper considers technology granulation, its characteristics are studied. To evaluat...

Food processing consumes high volumes of water, making agro-industries the third biggest industrial user water after oil refineries, primary metals and chemicals industries [...]

Radiographic Testing (RT) is widely used in industries, at airport for security checks, medical applications etc. to detect anomalies in materials and human bodies. Radiographic Testing is the common NDT methods used in the construction and fabrication industries for the oil & gas sectors using welding, gas/liquid transmission pipelines, casting foundries, and condition monitoring in existing o...

Wastewater treatment for removal of organic matter, inorganic matter and heavy metals is becoming increasingly important area of research. The disposal of wastewater to sea and other reservoirs can cause serious environmental problems. Wastewater from petroleum and refineries contains organic matter in various forms. Biodegradable and nonbiodegradable pollutants call for different biological an...

The marine environment poses a serious threat due to accidental oil spill and industrial discharge specifically from refineries which has become the ecosystem. Most of th...

We examine the effect of air quality regulation on productivit y in some of the most heavily regulated manufacturing plants in the United States, the oil reŽ neries of the Los Angeles (South Coast) Air Basin. We use direct measures of local air pollution regulation to estimate their effects on abatement investment. ReŽ neries not subject to these regulations are used as a comparison group. We s...
