POM-based catalysts have wide applications in catalytic biomass refinery.

Petroleum refineries discharged large amount of wastewater -during the refining processthat contains hazardous constituents that is hard to degrade. Anaerobic treatment process is well known as an efficient method to degrade high strength wastewaters. Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanker (UASB) is a common process used for various wastewater treatments. Two UASB reactors were set up and operated in...

This paper aims to assess the environmental efficiency of refineries in the public sector with emphasis on generated effluents and water consumption in the production process. In order to conduct this research, the addressed method was quantitative with a qualitative approach to the environmental aspects of controllable and uncontrollable variables imp...

A very simple and quick analytical method, based on direct aqueous injection, for determination of halogenated solvents in refinery water and wastewater, is described. There is a need to determine halogenated solvents in refinery water streams, because they may originate from several processes. There is also a need to develop methods enabling VOX to be determined in samples containing oil fract...

Recently sulfolane has been detected in well water within the town of North Pole, Alaska. A plume was identified in groundwater, originating from a petroleum refinery, and the highest concentration measured in wells outside the refinery was 269 ppb as of January 2011. Due to the contamination, residents were being provided bottled water for use and additional wells were created outside the plum...

The purpose of this study is to measure the levels quality control for some crude oil products in Iraqi refineries, and how they are close international standards, through application statistical methods refineries. Where answers sample were applied a group refinery employees (Al-Dora refinery, Al-Nasiriyah Al-Basra refinery) on principles management control, according different personal charac...
