What is the meaning of refinery of crude oil?
A crude oil refinery is a factory. The factory takes the crude oil, and turns it into useful products, like gasoline.
Can Oil be refined from Gulf water?
I think your question is whether the skimmed oil is sent to a refinery. Yes- the oil water mixture will require separation and the reclaimed oil will require dehydration. At that point, it can be used sold as crude oil.
What is the name of a factory where crude oil is made?
Crude oil is not "made". "Crude oil" is the name giving to the raw form of oil that is pumped from the ground.
What is oil mixture?
Is a combination of oil product such as diesel and petrol
The place where refining of oil takes place?
oil wells
What is a slogan for groundwater contamination?
Contaminate groundwater today, drink those contaminates tomorrow. Contaminating groundwater is dumb. Keep groundwater clean - for life.
Which of these is a disadvantage of using natural gas?
Extraction through fracking can contaminate groundwater
Why should you not throw out chemicals like paints solvents insecticides motor oil?
Because they will contaminate landfills, leach out into the surrounding groundwater, and poison soil, fish, animals and insects.
How does oil field brine damage the environment?
Brine water mainly comprises of Chlorides with small quantity of oil and grease. Brine is stored in lined pits to avoid soil and groundwater contamination. In case of brine spill or storage in unlined pits it infiltrate into the subsurface and will contaminate soil and groundwater. Ajmal Abbasi
Why must landfill be placed far away from groundwater sources?
So the garbage does not contaminate the water supply
What are two main sources of pollutants that can contaminate groundwater supplies?
Sewage, nitrates from fertilizers, and phosphates all cause groundwater pollution.
How can a gas station pollute the environment?
Answer: Gas stations can pollute the environment in several ways: * Fuel lost from storage tanks can pollute soil and groudwater * Waste oil from storage tanks can pollute the soil and groundwater * Hydrocarbon fumes from vehicle fuelling can contaminate the air * Spills from fuelling can contaminate the soil and groundwater and run off into the sewers * Vapors from storage tank filling can pollute the air * Exhaust from idling cars can pollute the air * Drips of oil and antifreeze can run off into sewers * Acids and antifreeze from spilled batteries or sales areas can pollute the soil
How can you contaminate the water?
Numerous types of contaminants can threaten drinking water. They include everything from chemicals to pesticides to animal waste to industrial waste injected into the ground. Naturally occurring substances, such as arsenic, radon and fluoride, can also contaminate groundwater.
Can the oil spill contaminate the water table?
Yes. Specific to the BP spill, I feel that it is a very remote possibility at this point. There was an article recently that oil was found "inland" in Florida, but to go any distance inland is very difficult as the fresh water streams and rivers all flow outwards to the Gulf and Atlantic ocean. I don't know of any case where an offshore oil spill (tanker accident, offshore blow-outs) contaminate groundwater. There have been some oil spills as a result of war (Iran-Iraq war, Nigerian civil war, Angola, Gulf war) where some groundwater conamination could be possible. Groundwater contamination does occur from oil and other hazardous chemicals seeping into the ground and ultimately contaminating the aquifer. There are numerous cases of leakage from leaking storage tanks, settling pits, pipelines and water injection wells (all related to the oil industry) causing groundwater contamination. Gasoline station storage tanks leakage can cause groundwater contamination. Of course, within the US, any activity that results in contamination of drinking water sources, will be immediately shut down. Gas stations are under strict federal regulations as to the specifications of gasoline storage tanks.
How do pesticides contaminate groundwater?
Pesticides can reach water-bearing aquifers below ground from applications onto crop fields, seepage of contaminated surface water
Is groundwater oil and natural gas commonly found within pore spaces in sedimentary rocks?
Groundwater, oil, and natural gas are commonly found in these spaces in sedimentary rock?
How oil spills pollute the water?
Oil spills contaminate the sea and the fish die along with sea birds.
