A POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF MICROALGAE IN PRODUCED WATER TREATMENT
(2016 , Master Thesis)Produced water, deriving from petroleum industry as a result of oil production, constitutes of high concentration of pollutants, such as dissolved nitrogen, phosphorus, dissolved organic carbon, heavy metals and monocyclic ... -
Potential application of microalgae in produced water treatment
( Desalination Publications , 2018 , Article)The current study examines pollutant removal efficiency from the produced water of a local petroleum industry by five different local microalgae species. The five microalgae strains Monoraphidium, Chlorella, Neochloris, ... -
Produced water characteristics, treatment and reuse: A review
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article Review)In oil and gas industry, produced water is considered as the largest waste stream, which contains relatively higher concentration of hydrocarbons, heavy metals and other pollutants. Due to the increase in industrial ... -
Purification of colloidal oil in water emulsions by cationic adsorbent prepared from recycled polyethylene waste
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)This study deals with removing crude oil droplets from colloidal oil in water emulsions. The target was the development of efficient adsorbents for the tertiary treatment of industrial-produced water (PW). The novel adsorbent ... -
Purification of emulsified oily polluted waters with modified melamine foams
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Oil and gas industry operations produce tremendous amounts of wastewater (produced water; PW). Tertiary treatment of the PW in the final treatment stage is challenging due to the presence of colloids with sizes < 500 nm ... -
Recent advances on the treatment of oil fields produced water by adsorption and advanced oxidation processes
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)The handling and treatment of produced water (PW) generated during oil and gas extraction has continued to be a serious dilemma due to its large quantities and complex composition with variety of pollutants. In this review ... -
Removal of petroleum hydrocarbons and sulfates from produced water using different bioelectrochemical reactor configurations
( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)Produced water (PW) is a wastewater generated in large quantities from the extraction of oil and gas. PW found to have high amounts of dissolved solids (TDS) and residual petroleum hydrocarbons causing considerable damage ... -

Sewage enhanced bioelectrochemical degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil environment through bioelectro-stimulation
( Elsevier Ltd , 2020 , Article)The impact of readily biodegradable substrates (sewage and acetate) in bioelectroremediation of hydrocarbons (PW) was evaluated in a bench-scale soil-based hybrid bioelectrochemical system. Addition of bioelectro-stimulants ... -
Steel slag promoted electrocoagulation process for the treatment of produced water
( Desalination Publications , 2020 , Article)Produced water is a by-product produced from the oil and gas industry. It poses a significant threat to the environment due to its high salinity and high pollutant concentration. In this paper, steel slag was used to enhance ... -
Sustainable agriculture in the Arabian/Persian Gulf region utilizing marginal water resources: Making the best of a bad situation
( MDPI AG , 2018 , Article Review)One way to encourage agricultural self-sufficiency in arid regions is to increase the productivity of conventional freshwater agriculture. Another way is to develop and implement novel strategies and technologies that do ... -
Sustainable innovation in membrane technologies for produced water treatment: Challenges and limitations
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)Discharged water from the oil and gas fields is a common type of wastewater called produced water (PW). It consists of different combinations of salinities, oils, and mineral deposits. Growing industrial demand, accelerated ... -
