Effect of salinity on biological treatment of wastewater from oil industry
Abstract
High salinity may affect biological wastewater negative by reducing the growth rate of microorganisms. Wastewater from oil industry often contains high salinity which could be problematic to treat. This thesis is to evaluate the effect of salinity on biological treatment by performing laboratory test with variable salinities. In addition, microbiological investigation performed with microscopy and growth culture.
