Petroleum sludge treatment and disposal: A review
In most of the treatment methods, three phases of waste management technique are used , there are (1) reduction of petroleum sludge production through the use of technologies, (2) oil recovery from the oily sludge, and (3) disposal of the unrecoverable petroleum sludge [26, 27]. Stage one helps prevent and reduce petroleum sludge generation
Different petroleum operations produce huge amount of oil sludge annually. For instance, US EPA estimates the annual sludge production of each US refinery of 30,000 tons, while the average oily sludge produced from petrochemical industries in China is estimated about 3 million tons per year. In the last year, our center could recover about 30,206 barrels of raw oil from 32,786 barrels of tank
Bioremediation of heavy oily sludge: a microcosms study
Oily sludge is a residue from the petroleum industry composed of a mixture of sand, water, metals, and high content of hydrocarbons (HCs). The heavy oily sludge used in this study originated from Colombian crude oil with high density and low American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity. The residual waste from heavy oil processing was subject to thermal and centrifugal extraction, resulting in
9th International Conference on Marine Technology -MARTEC2014 Surabaya, October 24-26, 2014 Bunga Kasturi Lima and to investigate the effectiveness of the homogenizer equipment onboard fuel oil
Recent development in the treatment of oily sludge from
The upstream operation includes the processes of extracting, transporting, and storing crude oil, while the downstream operation refers to crude oil refining processes. The oily waste generated in petroleum industry can be categorized as either simple oil or sludge depending on the ratio of water and solids within the oily matrix [10]. Simple
However, this type of sludge, coming from oil-water separators, is characterized by having higher concentrations of some of the metals compared with other types of slurries such as oil drilling or waste engine oil sludge (Ramirez et al., 2019). In this oily sludge, there are metals typically presented in high concentrations (>1 g/kg), such as
A Review of Crude Oil Recovery Methods from Petroleum Sludge
Vast amounts of petroleum sludge can be generated during upstream operations such as crude oil extraction, transportation, storage, and downstream processes such as crude oil refining. Al-Futaisi et al. [8] categorized petroleum sludge as simple oil or sludge based on the proportion of water and particles in the oily matrix. In general, sludge has
Oily sludge is mainly generated during the production, refining, storage, and transportation of petroleum (Deng et al., 2016, Liang et al., 2017), and includes mud from the drilling process, waste oil in the well, emulsified solids created during the crude oil refining process, and sediment in the storage tank (Fig. 1) (Deng et al., 2015, Vivana et al., 2015, Wang et al., 2017).

While pH and composition of the oily sludge will vary from one refinery to another depending on the type of refined crude oil, crude oil source, processing scheme and equipment (Guo et al., 2011), metals in oily sludge generally include lead, nickel, zinc, chromium, and copper.
- What is used oil & sludge used for in Kenya?
- The used oil from industrial sources is reprocessed at recycling facilities while that which is generated from petroleum tank cleaning operations is used for energy recovery or disposed off through weathering sites. A major source of used oil/sludge in Kenya is the servicing of ships which dock at the port of Mombasa.
- What is used oil sludge management document?
- It provides direction on safe management of used oil and oil sludge in Kenya and shall be the main regulatory reference material for management of used oil in Kenya. The document has been designed to apply common approaches on safe handling, packaging, transportation, recycling and final disposal of used oil and oil sludge.
- Where does used oil come from in Kenya?
- A major source of used oil/sludge in Kenya is the servicing of ships which dock at the port of Mombasa. The used oil will come as bilge water, or sludge from ship engine and other auxiliary machinery.
- How to manage used oil in Kenya?
- To promote safe management of used oil in Kenya. Disposal of used oil and oil sludge. There are two types of used oil, re-refinable and non-re-refinable. Re-refinable oils can be treated and reused for other purposes while the latter cannot.
- What are the economic effects of crude oily sludge?
- Crude oily sludge is a recurrent problem leading to corrosive effects and a reduction in oil storing capacity. The economic effect includes the cost of sludge removal and disposal, where the greater expense is the disposal fee of the environmentally-unfriendly material.
- What is used oil & sludge?
- The used oil from industrial sources is reprocessed at recycling facilities while that which is generated from petroleum tank cleaning operations is used for energy recovery or disposed off through weathering sites. A major source of used oil and/or sludge is from the servicing of ships which dock at the port of Mombasa.
