Is there any available experimental data for the size of oil droplets in the influent of tertiary step or polishing step for produced water / oilfield water treatment?
Noor Haleem Many thanks for your answer. Indeed, the review of Jemènez et al 2018 didn't really mention the size of droplets at this stage. To the best of my knowledge, the best reference that, mention the size at this step is a recent work od Dardor et al 2021 (attached below).
Although, they built their work based on real produced water samples, but they provided only analytics of the synthetically produed feed but not the real sample they mimicked.

the size of the droplets doesn't matter if you use Osmodialysis instead of chemico-physical treatment. See here ..Conference Paper Osmodialysis - the future of oil production water treatment
