Abstract

Currently, one of the key sectors of the Russian Federation is the fuel industry. Oil and gas production is growing annually; in 2018, 555 million tons of oil and 733 billion m3 of gas were produced. The problem of the oil and gas industry is the negative impact on the environment, namely, the activities of oil and gas companies produce dangerous envi-ronmental pollutants, one of which is oil sludge. At the same time, it is a valuable raw material (potential product) that can be used in various indus-tries. Despite the fact that large amounts of oil sludge are formed in specia-lized facilities (barns), the volume of disposal and the degree of their use are low, which leads to the concentration of oily waste in sludge barns. These factors have an anthropogenic impact on the environment, thereby creating a threat to human health.

Highlights

  • Oil pollution entails a number of environmental factors: - the complexity of the chemical composition of oil, which is in the process of constant transformation; - complexity, heterogeneous composition and structure of any ecosystem that is in the process of constant change

  • If the film thickness reaches 10 mm, the penetration of oxygen is delayed by about 5-10%, which does not have a significant effect on the vital activity of organisms

  • As part of the analysis of advanced technologies in the field of oil-containing waste processing, a search was carried out for equipment that would allow the separation of oil sludge into fractions

Summary

Introduction

Oil pollution entails a number of environmental factors: - the complexity of the chemical composition of oil, which is in the process of constant transformation; - complexity, heterogeneous composition and structure of any ecosystem that is in the process of constant change. Oil and petroleum products are environmental pollutants. The behavior of oil in the environment depends on its viscosity. Reduced viscosity leads to the fact that oil spreads over the surface of the relief, forming a monomolecular film layer. If the film thickness reaches 10 mm, the penetration of oxygen is delayed by about 5-10%, which does not have a significant effect on the vital activity of organisms. In the case when the absorption capacity of the oxygen oil film is 80-90%, the photosynthesis process is hindered, which leads to a decrease in oxygen concentration, which contributes to the inhibition of the vital activity of organisms and even to their death[1,2,3]
