title = "Mechanisms and process selection criteria for waste water treatment in petroleum production",
abstract = "In petroleum production operations a large amount of waste water needs to be treated before disposal to meet environmental regulations. Fundamental mechanisms involved in the treatment of produced water are described for some of the important processes available including carbon adsorption, polymer flotation, wet oxidation and air stripping. These processes are compared in terms of their effectiveness as well as economics. It is shown that traditional waste water treatment processes such as granular activated carbon adsorption, even though effective in reducing the TOC level, is more expensive to operate than the newer processes described in this paper.",
