Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production of oily wastewaters has become a primary issue in many productive sectors, ranging from agricolture and fishery (oil milling, fish cannery, etc.) to heavy chemical industries (above all refination, transport and storage of oil and derivatives). Oily wastewaters are often characterised by high COD with the presence of recalcitrant compouds requiring specific attention in order to reach adequate treatment efficiencity. Such wastewaters have widely variable characteristics requiring a tayloring approach to suite the treatment process to each specific case. Sometimes the definition of the treatment train may become complicated bythe presence of biological inibitors such as high concentration of salt or the presence of toxic chemicals. This Special Issue of Water was designed to collect experiences, both in laboratory and in the field, regarding oily water treatment efficiencies, management and cost issues, methods and technologies for treatment optimisation, control and energy consumption reduction. The Special Issue aims to collect a wide range of paper dealing with oily wastewater characterisation, innovative technologies for treatment, optimisation of biological processes, reuse and disposal of sludges with the final aim to provide a valuable collection of studies for the future development of research and practical applications. Relevant and documented case studies in the field are very welcome as well.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
