ABSORBENTS AND FILTERS FOR RECOVERING SPILLED OIL AND OIL IN WATER

摘要

Oil spills are disastrous to environment and energy resources. Residual oil in produced water after traditional oil/water separation and treatment in oilfield production incurs environmental and energy resource problems too. This invention is on the application of styrofoams, foam peanuts, PE, PET and related centrifuge, squeezable filters to recover the spilled oil on land and in water, and to recover the residual oil from the oilfield produced water in any process of oil production. This invention will bring enormous benefits to environment protection and energy resource reservation.
