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
