Abstract

The petroleum industry encompasses four separate technology and business areas: (1) extraction of crude oil from the ground; (2) transportation to refineries and product distribution centers; (3) refining into finished products; and (4) marketing, or sale of the products to consumers. Each segment of the industry generates different types of wastes because of the variation of the processes used in each area, and therefore practices different waste minimization technologies. This paper focuses on waste minimization practices in the refining segment.
