Significant oil losses in oil-containing wastes and their adverse impact on the region environmental setting bring about the need to develop an oil-containing wastes treatment technology. To tackle this issue, the authors have set an aim of designing a helio device and creating an oil-containing wastes treatment method based on it to extract oil products. Considering a widespread in the composition and properties of potential oil sludge raw materials and their tendency for either formation of stable emulsions or phase separation, we have conducted in-depth modern physical and chemical studies and defined the need to develop a commercial oil-containing wastes purification method. We have designed the device, in which oil product hydrocarbons undergo thermal treatment using solar energy. Following oil-containing wastes purification using solar energy, the particulate load in soil does not exceed 6.65–6.79 % and the absolute molecular weight of hydrocarbons approaches that of bitumen. The developed oil-containing wastes purification method solves an important environmental issue of oil-containing wastes recycling, promotes recovery, and prevents degradation of natural complexes, and reduces soil and water pollution.

In this paper, the prevention of negative technogenic impact on the environment of oil sludge by using it as a secondary resource is considered. Oil sludge from various objects of oil fields in Kazakhstan (Mangystau region) has been studied. The possibilities of using oil (after its separation from oil sludge by bioremidiation) as a partial substitute for bitumen base in the production of modified bitumen are considered. The main physical and mechanical characteristics of modified bitumen are determined. The results confirm that the modified bitumen prepared with oil sludge and oil separated by bioremiation method meets the requirements for polymer-bitumen binder to Kazakhstan standards and is suitable for the production of modified bitumen in its physico-chemical characteristics.

Crude oil is considered the main source of energy worldwide. Important problems faced by oil transportation methods are spills and unintended releases. Therefore, most technological developments in the field of transportation methods are aimed at reducing emissions, improving efficiency or preventing spills and leaks. Pipeline systems are the safest, most efficient and economical way to transport crude oil. The transportation process suffers from serious problems, such as: asphaltene and paraffin interacting with the structure damages it, pressure drop in the pipes and high energy consumption during pumping. One of the most important economic tasks when transporting oil through a pipeline is to maintain fluidity and reduce the pressure drop along the pipe. This article highlights the latest and most effective development methods that were used to increase the fluidity of crude oil in pipelines, and also examines the possibilities of reducing energy costs for transporting heavy oils and hydraulic resistance of pipelines by creating intermediate solar station devices consisting of a parabolocylindrical concentrator with a tracking system and a solar panel with a converter that increase the safety and environmental friendliness of oil transportation by reducing the risk of accidents. The intermediate solar station uses a renewable energy source and is clean from an environmental point of view, since it does not produce harmful emissions. The use of solar energy as a green alternative to traditional energy carriers makes it possible to increase the productivity of the pipeline by up to 50 %, eliminate energy costs during oil transportation.
