Surface water taken from the Ogbe Ijoh River was simulated to 10% contaminations with kerosene and gasoline fractions of petroleum. Fenton oxidation treatment was then applied to remediate the polluted water in order to remove total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) as kerosene and gasoline. The physicochemical properties of the initial surface water, and after contaminations, as well as after remediation were analysed using standard methods. Comparison of these values shows that most of the properties were negatively impacted by simulated contaminations. Marked quality improvement compared to the contaminated water was observed for the remediated water particularly with regards to the: turbidity, total dissolved solid (TDS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) content. However, the pH, phosphates, total alkalinity, electrical conductivity, and metals content (Cd, Ni, & Pb) remains negatively impacted even after treatment; and therefore may require further treatment before use or discharge to receiving water bodies.
