TL;DR: In this article, a multichannel ultrafiltration ceramic membrane (ZrO2) was used in experiments to generate a permeate stream suitable for reinjection in restrictive oilfield reservoirs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary estimate of operating expenses (OPEX) and capital expenditures (CAPEX) for a full scale ceramic membrane plant, based on data obtained in lab scale tests and from literature information, was obtained.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of backpulsing and backwashing procedures on the process performance was also investigated, and the operational cost and capital expenditure for a plant capable of generating 1000m 3 ǫ − 1 of permeate were found to be equal to US$ 0.27/m 3 and MUS$ 7.11, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive screening of commercial adsorbents and waste was tested for NAs remediation, assessing also the influence of adsorbent properties and functionalities, and the initial screening and the equilibrium data suggest that characteristics such as surface area, pore diameter, and ionic form have a great influence on the adsorption process.

TL;DR: In this article, the main characteristics of produced water and its different forms of reuse, the theoretical fundaments of the adsorption technique and through case studies, critically evaluate the technical feasibility of implementing ad-sorption towers in PW treatment units.
