Analysis of methods disposal and processing of oil sludge

The article is devoted to the analysis of methods of utilization and processing of oil sludge. The advantages and disadvantages of thermal, biological, chemical, physical and combined methods of disposal are considered in detail. It is concluded that it is necessary to use an integrated approach to obtain a more effective result and involve oil-containing waste in recycling in order to minimize the anthropogenic impact on the environment. The analysis of one of the promising technologies for processing oil sludge at large fields planned for implementation - the production of fuel briquettes for use in boiler houses operating at the field. It is proved that from the point of view of technical and environmental indicators it is not effective. It is proposed to consider the problem of oil sludge management from the perspective of three components: reducing the volume of oil sludge and preventing its formation as a whole, the use of effective methods of recycling, recycling through an integrated approach.
