Incomplete refining of the crude causes the soot. The destruction of the illegal refinery by fire also contribute to the soot. If there is no illegal refinery, there won't be need to destroy them.

The main cause of the soot in PH is illegal refinery. The part paid by destruction is minor.

lexy2014:


How is d part caused by destruction minor? Kindly explain

MelesZenawi:


Rivers state as a whole is a mess.

Human life means nothing there.


Governor Wike should declare force majeure and save lives.

Everything no be buhari cause am.

So you mob your floor finish come dey show us.. even the call mod

You wan make they carry a.m. go front page say you mob your floor.. so the everyday soot we Dey hear for this forum no do .. Na say you mob your floor go make difference

Na Nairaland I blame .. when you push irrelevant things to front page ..

Oga mob your floor and fine work.. even Buhari no say soot Dey worry people for there

Beside your foor is dirty for being out for some time

Sorry, Governor Wike Said he could not do anything to stop illegal Refinery rather we should pray to God to touch oil buckerers heart to stop the illegal refinery.

I returned to portharcourt last night to celebrate Xmas, but due to how tired I was, I couldn't clean the house so I had to do it this morning

I had to do some mopping today.

the blacksooth no be joke

mfm04622:


Refining is continuous. Done for hours everyday. Imagine the volume involved.

Destruction of the equipment is done once and for all. In fact, the equipment is metal and the temperature of the fire can't melt it. So what normally burns is the crude that is in equipment and the metal is deformed.

it mop and not mob.

We are creating awareness on how bad things are because we want things to get better.

People need to understand the health and environmental hazards this illegal refinery can cause.

Carry ur nonsense getat

Selfmotivated:

In contrary, Mr Peter Idabor, Director General of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), told journalists in Port Harcourt that the soot is as a result of abattoirs burning tyres, heating of asphalt and also the burning of stolen petroleum products by security agencies.

Lavisha:

You see, there are millions of people living in PHC and %1 cannot tell the true story about Portable waters in the Metropolis.
For instance, I reside in Obajana, Kogi State@ Dangote Cement Factory (Largest Cement plant in Africa) and the harmattan did a great job by drying up some portable water sources coupled with Cement dusts everywhere.
That means I can easily fetch a muddy water and show the World but the true tale is; Clean Waters Abounds in Kogi.

So, I want to believe Clean Waters still plenty for PHC and there's no cause for alarm but the way you peeps are portraying it seems All waters in PHC are contaminated with soot which is very wrong.

I'ma Microbiologist tho.

What goes into the process of refinishing? What is the end product? What does the process of refining entail?

Is it that is destroyed by soldiers when destroying illegal refineries?

mfm04622:


Crude oil goes into the refining process
Diesel is the end product of the illegal refining. Everything apart from the diesel is thrown into the environment to further polute the environment.
Crude oil refining is mainly done by heating the crude and distilling products off at specific temperature. The illegal refineries do not have equipment to separate different products. What they are after is the Diesel component which they sell to those who use diesel generators and vehicles.
The soldiers set all what they use on fire. It readily burns because it has been contaminated over time by different petroleum products. So that is what is burned.
You can't compare the damage one single event ( burning of drums and other things they use) with what goes on everyday. Also, it is not everyday they discover illegal refinery and burn it. Let's say they burn 5 per month. Those people work everyday as long as they can.

lexy2014:


How does distillation now cause black soot?

Is it only equipment and drums that soldiers burn?

What exactly is the "Everything apart from the diesel is thrown into the environment to further polute the environment"?

mfm04622:


Me I don tire ooo.

I think you need a picture of how the crude refining is done! Maybe because of the use of the word "equipment".
https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2013/jan/17/illegal-oil-refining-nigeria-in-pictures.
Go to this and see how illegal refining is being done.
All those things you see being used to illegally refine crude are those things that are burnt by Soldiers.
See how they refine the crude. If you see the pictures, you will agree they cause the soot!

lexy2014:


The questions I asked are very simple and I don't need to see the pictures. Since u have seen the pictures and u made the claims u made, then answering my questions shouldn't be a challenge for u:

How does distillation now cause black soot?

Is it only equipment and drums that soldiers burn?

What exactly is the "Everything apart from the diesel is thrown into the environment to further polute the environment"?

mfm04622:


Go and do your research! I am not being paid to teach you!
Questions you need to ask.
1) the crude is refined by heat, how do illegal refineries get their heat?
2) What do they do with by products when they have gotten the diesel they want?

If you can answer those 2 questions, you will know by yourself who is destroying the environment in South South.
