Assessing Groundwater Vulnerability to the Activities of Artisanal Refining in Bolo and Environs, Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area of Rivers State; Nigeria

Gordon T. Amangabara & John D. Njoku · International Journal of Environment and Climate Change · 2012

Artisanal refining typically involves primitive illegal stills in which crude oil is boiled and the resultant fumes are collected, cooled and condensed in tanks to be used locally for lighting, energy or transport. The distilleries are heated on open fires fed by crude oil that i...
