Facing oil-contaminated sites? This paper provides a comprehensive overview of remedial technologies applicable to soil remediation at refineries. Petrochemical and refining operations are known to cause severe environmental damage, necessitating effective remedial actions. The remediation framework, determined by legal requirements and actual risks, guides the evaluation of best available techniques (BAT). This research describes the background of soil remediation, offering an overview of applicable remedial technologies within the constraints of legal procedures, site-specific factors, and economic considerations. As part of environmental improvement programs, the evaluation of BAT is crucial for facilities aiming to mitigate environmental impact and invest in sustainable practices. Overall, this study serves as a foundational resource for refineries seeking to address soil contamination issues effectively.
This paper, published in Environmental Management and Health, directly contributes to the journal's focus on environmental protection and public health. By providing an overview of soil remediation techniques at oil refineries, it aligns with the journal's aim to promote effective strategies for managing and mitigating environmental risks.
