Petroleum industry take several steps via
drilling the oil will followed by storage in
tank crude oil then refinery and storage the
products from the refinery process are also
major contaminators of surface and ground
water by leaking through the soil. The deep
wells for the disposal of waste material end
up in aquifers and ground water. Some of the
refineries also discharge untreated waste
material into the water bodies such as lakes
and rivers. This means of waste disposal
into the rivers affects the quality of water
and the water animals. The petroleum
products that find their ways into the water
bodies are also highly inflammable and may
cause river fires like has been the case of
Cuyahoga River. Petroleum refining
activities may also contaminate the soil.
Soil contamination includes the hazardous
waste, oil spills, sludge from the treatment
process, and coke dust. Soil contamination
reduces the fertility of the soil and
introduces foreign particles which may
affect the growth and quality of crops. One
of the environmental impacts that may arise
out of the implementation and operation of
the storage tanking is oil spill and
evaporization of products polluted the area
each activity involves in the operation of
tank
farm has a potential spill risk and
evaporization of different types of gases
causing pollution.
