Oily-biological sludge (OBS) generated from petroleum refineries has high toxicity. Therefore, it needs an appropriate disposal method to reduce the negative impacts on environment. The anaerobic co-digestion process is effective that manages and converts organic waste energy. For digestion, a co-substrate would be required provide suitable environment for bacteria. In oily-biological sludge, carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio volatile solids (VS) content are very low. digested with C/N VS content....
