摘要: The oil and gas industry generates a large volume of contaminated water (produced water) which must be processed to recover before discharge. Here, we evaluated the performance fouling behavior commercial ceramic silicon carbide membranes in treatment oily wastewaters. In this context, microfiltration ultrafiltration were used for separation during tank dewatering produced model solutions, respectively. We also tested new online oil-in-water sensor (OMD-32) based on principle light scattering continuous measurement concentrations order optimize main filtration process parameters that determine membrane performance: transmembrane pressure cross-flow velocity. Using OMD-32 sensor, content feed, concentrate permeate streams was measured continuously fell within range 0.0-200 parts per million (ppm) with resolution 1.0 ppm. achieved an oil-recovery efficiency up 98% less than ppm residual stream, meeting environmental regulations discharge most areas.
