Sources of waste generation include service units, health and cure units, water, power, steam and industrial processes units. In this study, different types of waste including hazardous and non hazardous wastes were investigated and looks at the types of pollution created by Tabriz Oil refinery, the environmental impacts of that pollution and the technologies and techniques available to enable refineries to meet environmental standards through pollution prevention
