Abstract

Background and Objectives: Remaining of crude oil in storage tanks usually results in accumulating oily sludge at the bottom of the tank, which should be treated and disposed of in a suitable manner. The efficiency of IN-VESSEL COMPOSTING process in removing TOTAL PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS (TPH) from bottom sludge of crude oil storage tanks was investigated in the present study.Material and methods: The sludge was mixed with IMMATURE COMPOST at the ratios of 1: 0 (as control), 1: 2, 1: 4, 1: 6, 1: 8, and 1: 10 (as dry basis) with the initial C: N: P and moisture content of 100: 5: 1 and 55% respectively for a period of 10 weeks. The moisture adjustment and mixing process were done 3 times a day during the composting period. Sampling and analysis of TPH and pH were done every week and every two days, respectively.Results: TPH removal in the 1: 2, 1: 4, 1: 6, 1: 8, and 1: 10 composting reactors was 66.59, 73.19, 74.81, 80.20, and 79.91%, respectively. Thus, initial adjustment of sludge to IMMATURE COMPOST ratios plays a great role in reduction of TPH. The results of the control reactors indicated that the main mechanism of TPH removal in the composting reactors was biological process.Conclusions: IN-VESSEL COMPOSTING by addition of IMMATURE COMPOST as amendment is a viable choice for bioremediation of the bottom sludge of crude oil storage tanks.
