“…This is especially true in the oil and gas industry, where rapid oil field exploration has spurred the development of tight-barrier membrane processes for treatment of wastewaters like hydraulic fracturing flowback and produced waters [3][4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. While exceedingly higher total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations in produced water has been a traditional hurdle for a variety of water treatment technologies, the prevalence of dissolved organic and aromatic compounds in oil field wastewaters has gained significant attention [16][17][18][19][20][21]. The organic compounds present in feed streams like produced water exhibit a wide range of physiochemical properties and concentrations; however, their potential effects on membrane performance and sustainability is not yet clear.…”

Evaluation of the transport Parameters and physiochemical properties of forward osmosis Membranes after treatment of produced water, Journal of Membrane Science, http://dx. AbstractThe application of semipermeable membranes for dewatering of complex oil and gas wastewaters continues to be a topic of increasing interest. Several studies have explored the fouling propensity and contaminant rejection of osmotically driven membranes during forward osmosis (FO) treatment of produced waters; however, none have investigated changes in membrane transport and physiochemical properties after exposure to these feed streams. In this study we discuss the impacts of produced water exposure on the transport and active layer surface properties of cellulose triacetate (CTA) and polyamide thin-film composite (TFC) FO membranes. While produced water exposure yields some, albeit minor, changes to the membrane performance and surface characteristics of the CTA and the traditional TFC membranes, close to 50% reduction in reverse salt flux and contaminant transport was observed for a surface-modified TFC FO membrane; only minimal changes in water permeability were recorded. Results of this study demonstrate the chemical and physical robustness of FO membranes for treatment of oil and gas wastewaters, and they highlight a knowledge gap that exists in membrane polymer selection and contaminant interactions with the membrane polymer matrix that should be further addressed in future membrane fouling studies.

“…As oil and gas production continues, aqueous and nonaqueous liquid is produced continuously at the surface in much lower volumes. This water is known as produced water (PW), which contains very high TDS concentrations and is a mixture of injected water, formation water, hydrocarbons, and treating chemicals [3].…”

Direct contact membrane distillation is a promising unit operation for treating hydraulic fracturing flow back and produced water. However, while a hydrophobic membrane is essential to prevent the passage of water from the feed to the permeate side, fouling by dissolved organic species can compromise membrane performance and result in wetting of the membrane pores.Here four monomers, hydroxyethylmethacrylate, acrylic acid, 1-vinyl-3-allylimidazolium bromide, and 1-vinyl-3-hexylimidazolium bromide have been grafted from the surface of a PVDF membrane. The modified and base membranes were tested in a direct contact membrane distillation system. All membranes were challenged with real produced water. In addition, base membranes and membranes modified by grafting 1-vinyl-3-allylimidazolium bromide were
