ABSTRACT
Presents
results of an experimental and modeling study on the separation of oil and
salts from produced water using a rectangular flat sheet polyacrylonitrile
(PAN) ultrafiltration (UF) membrane (nominal pore size of 10 nm). Researchers
examined the effects of transmembrane pressure (TMP) (1, 2, 3 and 5 bar) on
permeation flux of UF membranes for treatment of produced water.
Results reveal that the average removal of chemical oxygen demand
(COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) during the experiments were 94 and 83%,
respectively. The UF membrane exhibited high potential for application in
industry for produced water reusing purposes.
