Mark Nanny, also from the University of Oklahoma will discuss “Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Spectroscopy as a
Real-Time Sensor for Polyatomic Anions and Organic Compounds in Produced Water.”
David Leavitt from Oklahoma State University will deliver a presentation entitled, “Membrane Distillation Crystallization of Highly Concentrated Brines – Resource Recovery from
Produced Water and Fertilizer Solutions.”
The water series has focused on produced water from Oklahoma’s oil and gas operations. The largest volume by-product from the production is produced water. The average oil well in the U.S. produces over 9 barrels of water per barrel of oil.
