Abstract

The purpose of the study was to assess the Aami River's water quality in the area close to the edible oil factory. This study attempts to determine whether the registered values of the tested parameters, based on physicochemical analysis of wastewater samples from various plants of the oil refinery in question, are within the allowable limits; that is, whether they negatively affect the Aami River's water quality as a natural water recipient and the environment as a whole. Water samples were gathered between July and December and subjected to physical and chemical testing. The oil factory by the Aami River has treated its produced water in strict accordance with the rules. The river water is still somewhat contaminated by the high levels of nitrite and ammonia, as well as oil and grease. To guarantee the purity and safety of the river water close to an oil refinery, tests must be conducted on a regular basis.
