Produced water treatment by ceramic membrane: A numerical investigation by computational fluid dynamics

Abstract: The disposal of industrial effluents into the environment is an issue that has attracted attention of researchers and engineers with particular reference for produced water originating from the petroleum industry. Separation process using ceramic membranes has been an alternative used to obey requirements of environmental agencies in Brazil related to disposal of oil and grease. Accordingly, we have studied numerically the fluid flow into a separation module with tubular membrane. The conservation equations fo… Show more

“…Others are based on zeolites, microporous carbon, or silicon carbide (SiC). Several ceramic membrane have been evaluated for their microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) performance during the treatment of PW, particularly membranes based on Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 and ZrO 2 [19,[22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…All potential assigned to the ceramic membranes justifies the intensification of scientific works that seek to enhance the treatment of produced water with this technology [29,31,[37][38][39][40]. In the literature, several studies have been reported using computational fluid dynamics as a tool to investigate the process separation of oily waters [40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. Cunha (2014) [39] numerically studied the treatment of petroleum industrial effluents using a ceramic membrane.…”

“…In this context, the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) technique provides information and new models for the application of membranes and contributes to the understanding of the filtration mechanisms [ 43 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. The computational fluid dynamics enables the understanding and development of new membrane separation processes, allowing researchers to study, in detail, phenomena such as fouling, concentration polarization, and pore-clogging, responsible for reducing the filtration rate and favoring contamination of the permeate.…”

“…Brazilian environmental control agency (CONAMA) specifies in 20mg/L the maximum amount of oils and greases that may be present in oily waters. Thus, the emission impact of this effluent on the environment and the treatment techniques that make it possible to discard has been the focus of several researches in recent years, with emphasis on the use of ceramic membranes [1][2][3][4].…”
