Statistics estimate 2% of oil losses during transportation. The losses cannot be avoided during storage of fuels and lubricants on tank farms and oil processing enterprises, which, in accordance with the existing requirements should not be more than 3%.

Mechanical Treatment of Wastewater. Preliminary cleaning of wastewater from petroleum mainly uses mechanical treatment. In general, its efficiency is 65% when cleaning household wastewater and 95% in purification of certain industrial effluents.

Mechanical cleaning prepares the wastewater for the following stages of physicochemical and biological treatments. This method is considered to be the cheapest, so it is used very often.
