Even goods that contain no actual water can carry a great deal of virtual water “Virtual water” is a concept in use since the 1990s that assumes all of the water required to produce a good remains embedded within the good as it moves along the value chain. With the concept of virtual water, we can say a bowl of completely dry cereal contains all the water that was needed to grow and ...

Produced water is a byproduct brought to the surface during oil and gas exploration and production. Sometimes it is called formation water, brine, or saltwater. It is typically brackish and comes from underground formations, either from zones adjacent to the oil and gas, or from the same zone as the hydrocarbons. In some oil and gas operations, the produced water results from injecting clean ...

In the oil and gas industry, water and wastewater treatment comes into play in mining operations and refineries. UF water treatment systems are used in tertiary process applications in these industries to assist oil/gas operators and oil/gas refineries to obtain suitable water for produced water reuse for fracking operations or sustainable discharge. Mining for oil happens both on and off-shore. ...

Oil and natural gas are considered valuable resources all across the globe. The number of products made from these two materials is impressive and our lives would be very different without them. Production of these products begins with locating the underground sources of crude oil. These deep well sources are then mined to extract the oil and gas materials. Afterward, these raw materials are sent ...
