The main objective of this project was determining of lead, cadmium, nickel and chromium in raw petroleum wastewater (RPWW) samples. The samples were taken before and after passage the RPWW on Australis Phragmites Plant (APP). Atomic absorption spectrophotometer was used to determine the heavy metals in RPWW samples before and after passing, The concentration of lead, cadmium, nickel and chromium before passing on APP was found to be 0.25, 0.9, 0.52 & 0.012 ppm respectively, but after passing on APP was fond to be 0.123, 0.75,0.45 & 0.01 ppm, respectively. The obtained results after passage were found within the range assigned by American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM, except the concentration of nickel.
