Produced Water Treatment Using Hydrocyclone Technology
Produced Water Treatment Using Hydrocyclone Technology
The treatment of produced water is one of the leading issues facing the oil industry. Produced water, a byproduct of oil drilling, contains oil, dirt and metals. This project explores using mechanical separation devices and hydrocyclone technology, a new and practical way for treating produced water that is economical and environmentally friendly.
