Processo de inertização do rejeito de perfuração de petróleo através do processo de flotação por ar induzido

Abstract

Inertization process of the oil drilling waste through the Flotation by Induced Air process During the oil extraction occurs the production of an watery current named water produced. This effluent contains highly dangerous organic and inorganic compounds, and its destiny has been a challenge to the oil and gas industry. In this way, this research suggests an alternative to the inertization of these compounds through the Flotation by Induced Air (FIA) process. The device shows simplicity, high efficiency of the removal of contaminants, capacity for medium and high flows, low operational cost and short residence length, which implies in lower spaces and the economy in construction. To evaluate this method, were analyzed the organic and inorganic carbon contents to the industrial and produced water, with the aim to observe the quantity of contaminants during the process
