An integrated coalescence-air stripping process for deepwater gas field produced water treatment

Puntos clave

• Effective treatment of produced water was achieved using a novel coalescence-air stripping method, and leading to reduced pollutant levels.
• The process significantly lowered contaminants by over 70%, contributing to safer discharge practices.
• Assessment using coalescence paired with air stripping leverages specific physical and chemical reactions for better purification efficiency.
• Environmental implications highlight the need for advanced solutions in offshore gas production to minimize ecological impact.
