| oil pollution abatement (There are various systems for the abatement of oil pollution at sea: the "Load-on-top" system involves passing the washing from tank cleaning operations and residue from discharge of the original ballast water to an empty cargo tank nominated as the "slop" tank. Fresh oil cargo is loaded on top of the final residue left after further discharges of water, the resulting mixture being acceptable to refineries despite some additional cost in removing the salt and water. Under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, all oil-carrying ships will be required to be capable of operating with this method of retention, or alternatively to discharge to reception facilities. Another method consists in spraying on the oil dispersives and/or blasting straw and sawdust, functioning as "blotting paper", onto water, beaches, rocks and docks. The Vikoma System for the containment of oil spills at sea, developed by British Petroleum, a seaboom of about 500 metres in length, is inflated and towed downwind of the oil slick and formed into a U-shape; under the influence of wind, the oil becomes trapped within the boom. Skimming equipment travels into the boom enclosure and the oil is pumped into containers) | usuwanie rozlewów ropy naftowej | |
| oil production (The petroleum industry is a complex industry utilizing complex combination of interdependent operations engaged in the storage and transportation, separation of crude molecular constituents, molecular cracking, molecular rebuilding and solvent finishing to produce petrochemical products. Treatment may involve oil separation, precipitation, adsorption, and biological treatment. The refining operations can be divided into four major steps: separation, conversion, treating, and blending. The crude oil is first separated into selected fractions (gasoline, kerosine, fuel oil, etc.). Some of the less valuable products such as heavy naphtha, are converted to products with a greater sale value such as gasoline. The final step is the blending of the refined base stocks with each other and various additive to meet final product specifications. The major pollutants emitted are sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and malodorous materials; chain) | produkcja ropy naftowej | |
| oil recovery vessel (Boats used for recovering oil spilled at sea from oil tankers. The recommended procedure is to contain and physically recover the spill with or without the use of adsorbents. This approach entails three processes: 1. confinement of the spill by spill booms; 2. recovery of the spill by sorbing agents; 3. physical removal of the contained oil by oil pick-up devices) | statek do usuwania rozlewów ropy naftowej | |
| oil refinery (System of process units used to convert crude petroleum into fuels, lubricants, and other petroleum-derived products) | zakład przetwórstwa ropy naftowej | |
| oil refining (The separation of petroleum mixtures into their component parts) | przetwórstwo ropy naftowej | |
| oil residue recuperation (The recovery of oil that is leftover or left behind, usually following the primary containment operations for an oil spill) | odzyskiwanie ropy naftowej z pozostałości | |
| oil shale (A kerogen-bearing, finely laminated brown or black sedimentary rock that will yield liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons on distillation) | łupki bitumiczne | |
| oil slick (The mass of oil that floats on a surface of water, which is discharged accidentally, naturally or by design, and can be moved by currents, tides and the wind) | plama ropy naftowej | |
| oil spill | wyciek ropy naftowej | |
| oil spills | wycieki ropy naftowej | |
| oil tanker | tankowiec | |
| oil wastes (except edible oils, 05 00 00 and 12 00 00) | oleje odpadowe i odpady ciekłych paliw (z wyłączeniem olejów jadalnych oraz grup 05, 12 i 19) | |
| oil wastes and wastes of liquid fuels (except edible oils, and those in chapters 05, 12 and 19) | oleje odpadowe i odpady ciekłych paliw (z wyłączeniem olejów jadalnych oraz grup 05, 12 i 19) | |
| oil-based energy (Energy produced using oil as fuel) | energia uzyskiwana z ropy | |
| oil-containing drilling muds and wastes | płuczki i odpady wiertnicze zawierające ropę naftową | |
| oil/water separator contents | odpady z odwadniania olejów w separatorach | |
| oily sludges and solid wastes | odpady z przeróbki (np. rafinacji) ropy naftowej | |
| oily water | wody zaolejone | |
| old hazardous site (Abandoned or disused dumps and refuse tips, stockpiles and landfill sites, disused petrol service stations, closed-down coking plants and former industrial and commercial premises, etc., from which considerable risks not only to the soil and to the groundwater, but also to humans and nature, can arise) | porzucone tereny zanieczyszczone | |
| old landfill site (Landfill that has been filled and covered with topsoil and seeded. The most common end use for landfills is open spaces with no active recreation taking place over the completed landfill. The obvious reason for this use is that the completed surface is steeply sloped to provide rapid runoff. Also, no irrigation of the cover grasses should be allowed. It is very unlikely to think that commercial or industrial buildings will be constructed on a completed landfill. If the end use is such that the public will be walking on the site, it is important that all manholes be properly secured, leachate lagoons fenced, and other potential hazards eliminated) | stare składowisko odpadów |
