Adsorption as a process for produced water treatment: A review
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article Review)Produced water (PW) is a by-product of oil and gas operations, and its production is foreseen to increase in the upcoming years. Such an increase is justified by various entities through their projection of the expected ... -
Adsorptive batch and biological treatments of produced water: Recent progresses, challenges, and potentials
( Academic Press , 2021 , Article)Produced water is responsible for the largest contribution in terms of waste stream volume associated with the production of oil and gas. Characterization of produced water is very crucial for the determination of its main ... -
An integrated approach for produced water treatment using microemulsions modified activated carbon
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)In this study, the physical and chemical characterization of produced water was done followed by treatment through sand filtration coupled with activated carbon microemulsion modified activated carbon techniques. The results ... -
Biological-Based Produced Water Treatment Using Microalgae: Challenges and Efficiency
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Produced water (PW) is the most significant waste stream generated in the oil and gas industries. The generated PW has the potential to be a useful water source rather than waste. While a variety of technologies can be ... -
Ceramic membrane filtration of produced water: Impact of membrane module
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)Produced water (PW) generated from oil exploration requires rigorous removal of suspended matter (free oil and particulate solids) as tertiary treatment (downstream of hydrocyclone and gas flotation) if it is to be re-injected ... -
Cleaning of ceramic membranes for produced water filtration
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)© 2018 Elsevier B.V. The application of ceramic microfiltration membranes to the tertiary treatment of produced water from an Arabian Gulf oilfield has been studied using a dedicated pilot plant. Studies were based on a ... -
Crossflow Microfiltration of Tight Emulsions and Suspended Colloids by Ceramic Membranes
(2018 , Master Thesis)Produced water is known as the largest waste stream associated with the oil and gas extraction process from onshore and offshore fields; that is found in the form of either oil in water (o/w) or water in oil (o/w) emulsion. ... -
Demulsification of stable emulsions from produced water using a phase separator with inclined parallel arc coalescing plates
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)A novel and highly efficient oil-water separator equipped with a series of inclined multiple arc coalescence plates is developed and optimized for the removal of stable oil emulsions from produced water. The synthetic high ... -
Effect of temperature and fluid speed on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel pipeline in Qatari oilfield produced water
( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)Metals integrity, such as carbon steel used in pipeline network can be seriously damaged by produced water causing serious corrosion problems. This can result in significant threats to safe operation of the oilfield ... -
Enhancement of Polysulfone Ultrafiltration Membrane Performance for Produced Water Treatment by Incorporation of Graphene oxide/Chitosan/Silicon dioxide Nanocomposite
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Oil and gas production is accompanied by generation of large amounts of produced water as usually three barrels of produced water is generated for each barrel of oil. Membrane-based water reclamation technologies have been ... -
ENHANCING PRODUCED WATER QUALITY USING MODIFIED ACTIVATED CARBON
(2016 , Master Thesis)The formation produced water from natural gas production process in the North field offshore considered largest volume of waste water in Qatar, which could be considered a potential benefits source for the industry as well ... -
Enhancing the Quality of "Produced Water" by Activated Carbon
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)The main objective is to contribute via this study, in solving an environmental issue and helping Qatar in finding suitable water resources; useful in agriculture. Qatar faces diverse water challenges; the number one that ... -
Grass Establishment, Weed Populations and Soil Microbial Succession in Turf Grass System as Influenced by Produced Water Irrigation
(2017 , Master Thesis)Agricultural water use is high in a world marred with water scarcity, thus necessitating alternative water resources such as wastewaters. This study attempted to use produced water (PW) to irrigate turf grass - Cynodon ... -
Humidification-Dehumidification (HDH) Desalination and Other Volume Reduction Techniques for Produced Water Treatment
