Investigation of the bio pile treatment for oily sludge

With the rapid development of petro-chemical industry as well as the stricter requirement of environmental protection, the treatment of oily sludge is around the corner for the petroleum companies. A pilot experiment had been carried out in this study to investigate the changes of n-alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and total petroleum hydrocarbons in the oily sludge. Results show that the oil content in the sludge decreased to 5023 mg/kg within 90 days, which provide technical support for the engineering application of bio pile treatment
