| Abstract | ||
| The oil drilling operations create large quantities of contaminated water known as “Produced Water”. The present study aims to treatment of produced water of the North Rumaila and Zubair oil fields, using stainless steel autoclave. A series of experiments were carried out at different conditions, temperature, pressure, acidity, revolution per minute (RPM) and salinity with and without flocculation .The result showed that 93% of oil was removed. An improvement was conducted when using surfactants. | ||
