Produced Water Treatment Using Wetlands - Reducing the Environmental Impact of Oilfield Operations
By undefined | Categories: Water Articles | 9th April 2019 | Edit | Delete
In order to reduce the environmental impact of produced water management, a wetland system has been installed in the Sultanate of Oman. The facility reduces the disposal of hydrocarbon polluted produced water into deep aquifers, recover hydrocarbons by means of an additional oil/water separation step and decrease the overall power consumption of the oil field operation by using a gravity flow system. During construction measures have been taken to reduce the impact by using only local materials for the installation of a sealing layer.
The first project phase was commissioning in 2011. This SPE article provides an overview of the project as well as how environmental impact has been reduced.

80% of the world's wastewater is released to environment without treatment, #wetlands function as filters, absorbing pesticides & chemicals & filtering sewage - they are a very effective solution for #water purification and security
