Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) offers unrivaled separation of petroleum substances, which can contain thousands of constituents or more. However, interpreting substance compositions from GCxGC data is costly and requires expertise. To...
Petroleum refinery effluents (PRE) are wastewaters from industries associated with oil refining. Within Europe, PREs are regulated through local discharge permits and receive substantial treatment before emission. After treatment, PREs can still contain low levels of...
Report no. 16/22: Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) analysis is one of the most commonly used analytical methods to indirectly measure organic pollutants in effluent waters. The standard COD methods use potassium dichromate which is restricted under the REACH regulation....
Concawe has updated the PetroRisk model used to calculate the environmental risk assessments (ERAs) for petroleum substances needed for REACH registration dossiers. The updates result in a model which is (1) faster, (2) more transparent, (3) better aligned with the...
Petroleum substances contain hundreds to thousands of constituents, making it very difficult to generate biodegradation data on all of those constituents individually. Concawe is undertaking a novel project with SINTEF—one of Europe’s largest independent research...
