- Abstract
In the petroleum industry, produced water is regarded as the significant waste stream that constitutes a comparatively higher fraction of hydrocarbons, heavy metal ions & various contaminants. Because of the minimal quantity of freshwater, there is a need to investigate other resources. Using produced water, which is available in plenty, seems to be a good resource to obtain freshwater using gas hydrate water-based desalination. Few of the current researchers have focused the attention on desalination with hydrates which can produce pure water more cheaply compared to conventional technologies. This paper provides a brief review of the current researcher’s accomplishments in the desalination of highly saline water or produced water through gas hydrate technology. It is apparent from the literature that suitable hydrate formers appreciably improve the thermodynamic conditions of hydrate formation. This review will deliver the outline for the prospective implementation of gas hydrate-based water desalination in treating produced water. In a word, treating produced water by hydrate-based technology hopefully seems to be environment friendly, low-cost, and widely used desalination technology in the future.
