PROCESSING OF CO-PRODUCED WATER TO REMOVE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

摘要

FIELD: ecology.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to method of removing organic contaminants from water and can be used, for example, for treatment of water produced from heavy oil extraction operation by means of steam. Method includes following stages: (A) treatment of water medium at first phase by acidification of water medium for desolubilization of dissolved organic substances and separation of desolubilized organic substances from water medium by filtration, and (B) treatment of water medium directly coming from phase (A), at second phase by bringing water medium in contact with activated carbon with at least 50 % of pores with diameter ranging from approximately 10 to approximately 20 angstrom.;EFFECT: increased degree of purification of water from organic contaminants.;12 cl, 6 dwg, 2 tbl
