PROJECT DETAILS
Management of Waste Oils is an issue of growing concern particularly in industrial and urban areas. Generation of Waste Oils is closely linked with increase in population of automobiles and industries. Most of these oils contain degraded additives which along with other contaminants render them hazardous. In many developing countries some of these Waste Oils are recycled with the use of primitive and obsolete technologies such as open boiling, acid-clay method etc. Lubricating oil with greater amounts of contaminants as organic oxidation products, aging materials, soot, wear debris and other dirt may not any more fully meet the demands and thus must be replaced. They are called used, spent or waste oils and should be collected and recycled in order to prevent the environment pollution and to preserve natural resources.
Qatar Lubricants & Petrochemicals (QLP) management has retained the services of Qatar Design Consortium (QDC) to carry out the baseline environmental study and prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study report.
In order to relate the existing environment with the proposed project activity, it was imperative to carry out detail evaluation of the baseline environmental characteristics including: Ambient air Quality, Noise Level, Soil Quality, and Groundwater quality. Applicable regulatory requirements were reviewed and compiled before commencing a structured and detailed baseline studies and a refined modelling analysis has been conducted using AERMOD.
