Oil Produced Water treatment for oil removal by an integration of coalescer bed and microfiltration membranes processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents an experimental investigation of OPW treatment for oil removal by integration of two processes: coalescer bed and microfiltration membranes (MF). The main goal is to reach an effluent quality good enough for injection, discharge or reuse in surface activities. The objective of processes combination is to overcome operational problems and limitations that both processes present when used separately.

Laboratory testing was conducted with a nutshell filter to determine the oil-removal performance on the basis of the flux rate, media type, media size, water salinity, and oil concentration. The goal was to determine the operating parameters that allowed <5 parts per million by volume (ppmv) of oil at the outlet, which is the normal operating point for this technology in producedwater treatment...

متن کاملRemoval of industrial cutting oil from oil emulsions by polymeric ultra- and microfiltration membranes.
The utilization of micro- and ultrafiltration with polymeric membranes for treatment of industrial cutting oil emulsion was investigated. The performance of 14 different membranes with pore sizes in the range of 1-800 nm, representing 8 different materials and varying hydrophobicity, was determined experimentally. Membrane permeances between 1.6 and 939 L m 2 h(-1) bar(-1) have been observed fo...
متن کاملMineral-Coated Polymer Membranes with Superhydrophilicity and Underwater Superoleophobicity for Effective Oil/Water Separation
Oil-polluted water is a worldwide problem due to the increasing industrial oily wastewater and the frequent oil spill accidents. Here, we report a novel kind of superhydrophilic hybrid membranes for effective oil/water separation. They were prepared by depositing CaCO3-based mineral coating on PAA-grafted polypropylene microfiltration membranes. The rigid mineral-coating traps abundant water in...
