Crude oil is composed of several compounds, such as aliphatic, aromatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and also sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen-containing compounds. PAH compounds are toxic and can be carcinogenic. Oil waste management in oil refineries needs to be focused on diminishing waste and selecting suitable strategies in order to prevent soil damage for raising crops and other agricultural purposes.
