Pollution Potential of Waste Used Oil Treatment Plants with Remediation Techniques


By: Jasmine Rodriguez


Oil treatment-based plants is notably a geotechnical trait that has been studied with random sampling linked to improper disposal of contaminated soil. Rotations of various amounts of petroleum is widely produced in ventures including internal combustion engines, automotive factories, hydraulic plants, and metal finishing plants. Proportions of this high demand can lead to contamination with disposal sites of water resources, soil, air and localized disposal sites. The main methodology to the process of remediation is devoted to the use of oil wastes. This technique is implemented to apply it s method of chemical and physical properties of capital costs in plants and remediation with contaminated soil. The unique results in the collected samples were narrowed down to statistical analysis, sample sizing, and normality tests of data. The sample site in which there was presence of heavy contamination of petroleum where higher than the standard cleanup levels. In order to avoid depletion of natural soil methods other than remediation has been taken into account with In situ and Ex situ techniques under cost considerations. Additionally, signs of heavy metals, petroleum, indicate high levels of management to waste, and once examined in the soil alternatives can be set in place to prevent environmental pollution harmful to natural resources and quality.

    It is so valuable to point out that it is not only the oil concentration in the waste, but also the metal concentrations that should be accounted for in treatment. There should be more focus on this to prevent pollution post-treatment.

Is Hydroelectric Power actually a "Green" Energy Source?

Is Hydroelectric Power actually a "Green" Energy Source? Source: Tennessee Valley Authority (public domain) Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, and the three major greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Natural sources of these gases consists of lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds as well. Lakes are environmentally beneficial because they are active, changing, and are important regulators of the three major greenhouse gases. That being said, lakes and reservoirs are known to be built for the purpose of generating power. So much so that water has been retained by dams that the global sea level rise has lowered approximately 0.02 inches per year in the span of 50 years. And since fossil fuels are not utilized to to produce hydroelectric power, lakes are known for their "green" energy sources alternative. Which is a common misconception because it is those lake and reservoirs that release powerful greenhouse gases into t...

Leading Innovation: The Untapped Side of Organic Agriculture

By: Jasmine Rodriguez Organic farming as we know it is has taken off as the main system to diversify plant production to a global standard. The innovation and attention to small details of a sustainable metric excels on all four cylinders such as productivity, environmental impact, economic viability and social wellbeing. With high demands globally, there is certainty to a good balance in how farmers produce crops to meet every sustainable goal required. However, the importance in maintaining sustainability is required to for infrastructure to the economic barriers of organic practices to diversify agricultural farming systems. Some practices that lack sustainability include lack of information and knowledge, unreliable infrastructure and economic halts, and misperceptions to cultural biases. A challenge to the farming system is policymakers forming a certain environment to a greater complex arrangement to a standard sustainable distribution of policies with food and ecosystem security...

Plastic in the Ocean Floor and Shoreline

 When it comes to the use of plastic, we use them all the time in objects that contain the drinks to the laptops that we use for schoolwork. Once they are thrown away, sometimes they can land in the oceans especially when they can leave close there. Because of this, it has caused a big harm to the marine life environment as more plastic debris has enter the ocean water. It can also cause a harm in the birds as well as thousands of birds can ingest the plastic in confusion of food. This was mention in a study by Jose G.B. Derraik, an study that was mention was in 1995 when Robards et al. examined the guts of seabirds two different times during an interval or 10-15 years that there was an increase in plastic ingestion between the year gaps. Now this is not only implying to birds, but they can also be found in the marine life as well. The reason for this is because not only can they be found in the ocean floor, but they can also be mistaken as food for some of the lifeform as well. Th...
