Different stages of the petroleum refining generate oil wastes that have hazardous substances. When oil waste contaminates the soil it may cause impacts on living resources, reaching groundwater, rivers and lakes in the region, affecting directly or indirectly the human health, with environmental, social and economic costs that can be very high. The objective of this study was to assess the management of hazardous solid wastes generated at petroleum refineries, describing processes and characterizing the way these wastes are generated in different stages of the refining process. The study also included assessment of treatment options and final disposal strategies. Principles of environmental management and reverse logistics were addressed with the objective of highlighting the environmental and socio-economic benefits added by a suitable management scheme. The basic concepts related to solid waste management are discussed in a practical and simplified language, and the minimization strategies are evaluated based on 3R s principle. Treatment methodologies and the relevance of utilizing industrial landfills as final disposal solution are presented. Besides the literature survey, the construction of a red thread connecting the issues is presented. It was concluded that currently, there is no management scheme for oil waste efficient enough to be considered sustainable, neither management option that can be based on a single technology or methodology. An integration of concepts and different practices including waste minimization, reverse logistics, treatment and final disposal is needed in order to achieve a more efficient oil waste management. However, it is worth to highlight new managerial opportunities related to reverse logistics, as well as the need to make use of industrial landfills in some point of the process and the current trend of co- processing as the option that presents the best cost-benefit for management of oil hazardous wastes generated by petroleum refineries.
