Abstract	Describes simulation of the important parameters in mineralization treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater by electro-Fenton process using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Researchers examined the effects of H2O2/PRW (ratio of mole of H2O2 per petroleum refinery wastewater volume), H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, current density, pH and reaction time. Materials distribution in the electrochemical cell was studied and CFD results revealed that distance between electrodes had no significant effect on the Chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal.
