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 ... -
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. ... -
Mesoporous silica filled smart super oleophilic fibers of triblock copolymer nanocomposites for oil absorption applications
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article)Super oleophilic fibers of styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block copolymer/mesoporous silica (MS) nanocomposites are fabricated by electrospinning, and their oil absorption efficiency is monitored by following two different ... -
The impact of mechanical shear on membrane flux and energy demand
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article Review)The use of forced mechanical shear for both disc membranes (rotating and vibrating disc filtration, RDF and VDF respectively) and hollow fibres (vibrating HF membranes, VHFM) is reviewed. These systems have been extensively ... -
Validation and application of a membrane filtration evaluation protocol for oil-water separation
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)Membrane filtration processes like microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) are proven to be effective in industrial wastewater treatment, including oil-water separation, as they generate suitable quality permeate for ... -
Vertically oriented nanoporous block copolymer membranes for oil/water separation and filtration
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2020 , Article)The separation of oil from water and filtration of aqueous solutions and dispersions are critical issues in the processing of waste and contaminated water treatment. Membrane-based technology has been proven as an effective ...
