Abstract This study aimed to find biosurfactant producing and crude oil-degrading bacteria able to decontaminate crude oil from wastewater. The bacteria that were isolated from contaminated sites in an oil refinery plant in Isfahan, Iran, were identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as Achromobacter kerstersii strain LMG3441, Klebsiella pneumonia strain SKBA6, and Klebsiella variicola strain SKV2. According to the results obtained from different tests for the production of biosurfactant among three strains, only Achromobacter kerstersii strain LMG3441 was selected for further study. The pattern of residual hydrocarbons was analyzed by high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This novel and indigenous strain was capable of producing the highest amount of a glycolipid biosurfactant (7.81 g/L) in MSM (mineral salt medium) with 1% (v/v) crude oil as the only source of carbon and energy. The compound showed high surface activation capacity with reduction of surface tension from 40 mN m–1 in the control to 23.3 mN m–1 by the bacterium. The results of GC-MS for assessment of residual hydrocarbons in the MSM and comparison with crude oil as a control showed that 53% of the hydrocarbons in the crude oil were consumed by this novel strain.

Optimal Policies

Since crude oil purchasing accounts for the largest part of the total costs in the petroleum industry, improving the efficiency of the process is of great significance in economy. In this paper, a novel mixed integer linear programming model is formulated for a large typical oil refinery to determine the purchasing, inventory and transportation quantities over a multi-period horizon while taking into account all the practical features of crude oil purchasing. The objective of the model is to minimize the total costs attributed to crude oil purchasing, i.e. the sum of ordering, purchasing, inventory and transportation costs. The constraints related to bill of materials, different capacities and different transportation modes are considered. A numerical example indicates the extensive application of the presented model.
