A Review on the Nanofiltration Process for Treating Wastewaters from the Petroleum Industry

Activities and/or processes in different segments of the petroleum industry, including upstream and downstream, generate aqueous waste streams containing oil and various contaminants that require treatment/purification before release/reuse. Nanofiltration (NF) technology has been approved as an effi...
