A cylindrical tube shape ceramic filter made from a mixture of the residue catalytic cracking (RCC) unit spent catalyst, natural clay, and gadung (Dioscorea hispida Dennst) starch was employed for produced water (PW) treatment. The parameter of produced water characterized were total dissolved solids (TDS), phenol, and barium concentration. Two types of ceramic filters were made using activated…
This study examines the effect of ceramic filter composition and the reverse osmosis (RO) membranes on improving the quality of produced water by reducing total dissolved solids (TDS), phenol, and barium. The ceramic filters were fabricated using a spent catalyst, clay, and dioscorea hispida starch. The spent catalyst is the residue catalytic cracking (RCC) unit used with and without activation…
