Programme description: Basic quality parameters of water taken by industry. Basic characteristics of refinery waste water. Waste water contaminants specific in refineries. Processing of model refinery waste water with different processes: sedimentation, coagulation, induced air flotation and filtration. Qualitative and quantitative assessment of the treatment processes’ efficiency. According to the experimental results students suggest how to solve the problem with a given contaminant.

Training effect – skills and competence: Students gain: - awareness of water pollution caused by petroleum industry, - information concerning different methods of waste water treatment, - ability to cooperate with the proper environmental services. The course is focused on water pollution caused by hydrocarbons. For complex environmental education the courses 'Environmental Protection in Chemical Technology and 'Soil remediation' are strongly advised.

The lecturer informs about requirements, weight of assessment components, recommended literature, schedule of tests or other organizational issue at the first meeting.
