Abstract

Since produced water (PW) includes more hydrocarbons, heavy metals and other poisons than any other byproduct of the oil and gas industry, it is the primary source of contamination in this field. Growing industrial activity means more produced water (PW), making environmentally sound PW treatment and reuse that much more important. The optimum ways to purify the produced water and use it in a range of contexts can be chosen with knowledge of water qualities. Produced water can be purified via physical (membrane filtration, adsorption, etc.), chemical (precipitations, oxidations) or biological (living organisms) means (biological aerated filter, activated sludge, anaerobic treatment and others). This review paper aims to educate readers about the physical, chemical and biological processes that go into treating the water produced.

Keywords
