Petrochemical effluent biodegradation

In contrast to the refinery process effluent A, the petrochemical effluent B was much higher in COD, carbon and ammonium (Table 10.4). Biodegradation of the undiluted effluent began immediately and continued at a rate of around 3.5-4.0mgO2/l/h over the 14 day incubation period, with O2 uptake failing to reach a plateau (Figure 10.5). [Pg.323]

The results of this study demonstrated that there are a number of advantages in using combined toxicity and biodegradation assessments to improve the hazard and risk assessment of refinery/petrochemical effluents. The results indicated that... [Pg.334]

Anaerobic biodegradation of phenols is possible and is now the subject of development studies. They do not seem applicable to refining and petrochemical plant effluents because concentrations are too low. [Pg.30]
