ABSTRACT
Oil-produced water (OPW) is a byproduct of oil and gas operations, and its production is foreseen to increase in the forthcoming years because of rapid industrialization priorities. The treatment of produced water is a significantly growing challenge for the oil and gas industry that requires serious attention. The treatment of OPW was an enormous charge for oil and gas industry. Various costly technologies have been adopted on field to treat OPW before reuse or disposal to environment. Adsorption technology with low-cost adsorbents was quite effective to treat OPW to a certain extent. In the present chapter, the case study for the treatment of OPW using low-cost adsorbents was presented.
