英文摘要	Kuwait is a desert country with scarce water resources and increasing population, which means that more water sources should be tapped, not only for irrigation but also to provide for the citizens of the country. Oilfield waters are produced at increasing levels in Kuwait, being a foremost oil producer in the gulf region. It contains lots of contaminants that, if left untreated, will pollute the surrounding areas when disposed of improperly. This paper examines the possibility of treating oilfield water to be used as an additional resource for irrigation and for improving its treatment prior to proper disposal. The water treatment concept being introduced was performed through several treatment stages including biological treatment combined with nitrification and denitrification (sedimentation), chemical treatment (flocculation and coagulation), reverse osmosis, and disinfection using ultraviolet process as the final treatment process. This was accomplished through the combination of conventional and membrane technology process. After the treatment, the water samples were tested and compared with the parameters set by the Kuwait Environment Public Authority (KEPA) for irrigation, as well as disposal. The results indicated that the treatment methods are efficient in treating oilfield water as the treated samples showed significant reduction in original concentration, such as to name a few, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, ammonia, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, sulfide, turbidity, phosphate and biological oxygen demand with a reduction percentage of 94.23%, 95.86%, 76.47%, 80.39%, 94.59%, 98.0%, 54.54%, 80.19%, respectively. Grease, oil and chemical oxygen demand level can be lowered from the treated water by further treatment. Oilfield water can, therefore, be utilized for irrigation and eventual allowable discharge to sewage network conventional wastewater treatment methods combined with membrane technology.
