Increased concern over a clean environment by public and authorities, is forcing the implementation of stringent regulations in improving the quality of environment not only in industrialized but in also developing countries. The role of industry has the major impact both in deterioration and preservation of the quality of natural sources. Any country is also affected by the results of these adverse effects on environment since pollution is international. The scope of this chapter is to evaluate the characteristics and treatability of process wastewaters from an edible oil refining industry, which was installed in a nonresidential area in 1950s but now has become surrounded by a metropolitan city.
