Biodegradation by bacteria seems to me a good start. You have a lot of parameters to take into account such as salinity, heavy metal content, biocide, surfactant, demulsifiant, corosion inhibitor, temperature, and concentration of oil in the produced water. Base the treatment on waste water treatment plant is a way to look at the problem. Could you be more precise about the produced water?
Though your question does not really provide any precise specifics, I will suggest that you use bio-adsorbents (eg. treated rice husk) to clear the plumes of contaminants, Afterwards, you could use simple sand, sawdust, and probably clay filtration to filter. After these steps, any other water treatment test could be used to make the water more cleaner.
May I ask you, what do you mean produce water?
Yes, you can apply biological treatment and the most efficient way is by using Bacteria, and also some plants.
First of all clear your question, do you want to reomove the oil and grease from water or other thing?
yes sure you can use biological treatment for such such kind of waste water treatment by using bateria, plants , membranes and filter etc
Thanks so much for all
I am focusing on removing oil , grease , metals , salts from produced water (it is the water produced along with petroleum production).
If any one has an experience about this topic , i need to know how can i apply the biological treatment in details.
