Removing Oil & Salt for Reusable, Clean Industrial Water
Process System for Cleanup of Dissolved Oil and Salt Contaminated Waste Water for Gainful Utilization
Tags: Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India, Energy & Environment, Industrial Automation & Manufacturing
The process system for cleaning dissolved oil and salt from contaminated wastewater uses micro-nano bubbles of in-situ generated ozone to oxidize and remove dissolved oil, followed by a reverse osmosis (RO) step to remove dissolved salts. This technology is particularly useful for treating wastewater from industrial operations like oil drilling, making the water suitable for surface discharge, agricultural use, or other beneficial applications. It reduces the cost of reinjecting separated water in land-locked oil platforms and is especially valuable in arid regions where water reuse is critical. The treated water meets stringent quality standards, making it a viable resource for various industries.
