Abstract

Through this study hydrocarbon residues in water removed, the treatment take place during two
stages spent 40 days (the first phase includes Bio-augmentation to make biodegradable water by adding 5
ml of coliform bacteria which had been taken from Al Dura oil refinery. This study has decline oil content
from 26.8 ppm to 4.5 ppm in water contaminated by hydrocarbon, and then the second phase of plant
treatment begins using two types of plant (Ceratophylum and Potmogen). Phytoremediation Showed that
Ceratophylum best efficient than Potmogen In the absorption of hydrocarbon compounds, the
Ceratophylum plant reach 8.8ppm if compared with Potmogen reach 5.7ppm.
