Wastewaters arising from oil and gas industries are a source of soil, water and air pollution and lead to a mortal danger to our environment. Elimination of hydrocarbons from oily-water is carried out by chemical methods such as the process of coagulation - flocculation. Our purpose in this work is to contribute to the collective efforts to treat the huge amount of wastewater purges storage bins and reuse them to prevent any ecosystem damage; this was achieved by studying the wastewaters separation effectiveness by coagulation- flocculation using two types of sequestering; citric and ascorbic acid. Chemical treatment investigated in the laboratory of the petroleum field of BERKAOUI /southern Algeria, showed that the best result is obtained by using 2% of ascorbic acid within wastewater solution containing 12 ml of 4% concentration of activated silicates; consequently : - Suspended mat..
