A Review of the Processes Associated with the Removal of Oil in Water Pollution
Water plays an essential role in production and refining processes. Many industries that use petrochemicals also require water, especially for cleaning purposes. The wastewaters released by these processes are often rich in petroleum pollutants, which requires significant treatment prior to disposal...

Water plays an essential role in production and refining processes. Many industries that use petrochemicals also require water, especially for cleaning purposes.

A current challenge for most industries and conventional effluent treatment plants is compliance with accepted disposal standards for oil-polluted wastewater. Of particular importance is the processing of dispersed oil in water, as well as oil in water emulsion.
