Hazard assessment of refinery effluents is challenging because of their compositional complexity. Therefore, a weight‐of‐evidence approach using a combination of tools is often required. Previous research has focused on several predictive tools for sophisticated...
Report no. 10/18: This report presents a study conducted in Europe to characterize the typical size and plume stability condition for groundwater sites impacted by the petroleum hydrocarbons benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylenes (BTEX), and the fuel oxygenates...
Report no. 14/18: The European Commission (EC) is considering the use of “effect-based tools” (EBTs) for environmental monitoring as an alternative to, or in combination with, chemical analysis. In addition, there is interest in the use of passive sampler devices for...
Mike Spence joined Concawe in 2014. As his work with Concawe draws to a close, Mike shares with us some of the aspects of his work experience as Science Executive over the past four years.
Report no. 12/18: Since 1969, Concawe has been gathering and compiling data on aqueous effluents from European oil refinery installations. Surveys have been completed at 3-5 yearly intervals and the survey design has been updated over time to address various...
