This study presents and verifies the deep-well wet air oxidation (WAO) reaction model for treating organic sludge (among the various by-products discharged from produced water treatment facilities) for recycling, and predicts the reaction characteristics. The deep-well WAO reaction model is established theoretically and a simulation model is developed. The validity of the simulation model is examined by comparing the modeled pressure change inside the reactor with that given by a model developed in a previous study. In terms of the pressure profile inside the reactor, the developed simulation model shows a 2.3% difference from the previously proposed model. It is confirmed that the increase in reaction pressure and residence time inside the deep-well WAO reactor improves organic decomposition by increasing the oxygen mass transfer rate in water containing such organics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
