Abstract
En 中文
The oil and gas industry is increasingly challenged by the global transition toward renewable energy systems aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Nevertheless, opportunities remain to mitigate the environmental impacts associated with ongoing oil and gas operations. One of the major environmental challenges in this sector is the extensive use and treatment of water. Membrane-based separation has emerged as an effective technology for oil-water separation due to its ability to overcome limitations associated with conventional treatment methods. This study aims to build a CFD model to investigates the influence of operational hydrodynamic conditions on membrane separation, including transmembrane pressure 202, 101, 50, 10 kPa, crossflow velocity 0.08 m/s, 0.116 m/s, 0.33 m/s, 0.66 m/s, and oil droplet diameter 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 & micro;m, on membrane performance in addition to different oil concentrations 1%, 2%, 4%, 8% using Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model. This is done by experimentally extracting the membrane water resistance, which is found to be 6.46 & times; 1010 (1/m) and using it as an input to the numerical model. The results indicate that permeate flux is primarily governed by transmembrane pressure, in agreement with Darcy's law, while fouling development along the membrane length is mainly influenced by crossflow velocity and oil droplet size. Where it was found that for large droplets 100 & micro;m and 50 & micro;m the buoyancy forces were large enough to lift the oil droplets away from the membrane at velocities 0.08, 0.16 and 0.33 m/s while smaller droplets remained at the membrane surface In addition, backward diffusion, which has been emphasized in previous studies, was found to play a comparatively minor role in the present numerical analysis.
