Abstract

The operation parameters and fouling mechanism of ceramic membrane used for treating oilfield produced water were discussed. The field test analyzed the effects of different operation parameters on membrane flux, oil and suspended solid removal efficiency by ceramic membrane, the constituent of membrane resistance and the cleaning method of membrane fouling. Experimental results show that the optimal operation condition are transmembrane pressure of 0.16 MPa, temperature of 50°C and cross-flow velocity of 5.0 m/s when the quality of the effluent is achieved with A1 standard. Results also show that NaOH combined with HNO3 is helpful to recover membrane flux.
