    Advanced and Sustainable Methods for the Treatment of Petroleum Industry Wastewater discusses the status of different approaches and advanced processes involved in the treatment of petrochemical and petroleum industry wastewater. The book also focusses on advanced technologies for removing toxic pollutants, which are environmentally friendly and respect the principles of sustainable development. Biological methods are the best available green method for sustainable wastewater treatment processes. The book explores and discusses the environmental aspect and effect of the petroleum industry discharge wastewater, their effect on aquatic life and possible ways to deal with minimal secondary side effects. Keeping global water crisis and pollution and fast depletion of natural fresh water in mind, more immediate knowledge, information, implication and method application of available resources are required than we anticipated. Through this book, we bring a wide range of methodology and perspective under one roof in a comprehensive manner.
