Numerical Modeling of Ground Water Treatment through Ceramic Membranes

Recent advances in oil field water treatment have led to the conclusion that conventional remediation techniques are expensive, slow and ineffective in removing oil products from reservoir waters. The need to introduce methods that remove the disadvantages of conventional ones led to the appearance of modern depollution techniques, methods such as chemical, biological or thermal, etc. However, before starting a depollution process, a profitability study must be carried out and a compromise established between the cost of depollution and the depollution yield. The article presents the classic depollution methods but also a new, modern method (water treatment with ceramic filters) which, even if it has quite high investment costs, even proves its economic efficiency in addition to the qualitative one of protecting the environment.
