Abstract:
In the recent Kazakhstan Upstream Oil and Gas Technology and R&D Roadmap,
water management has been recognized one of the fifteen main challenges that must be dealt with. This
roadmap mentions that chemical processes are increasingly used for wastewater treatment; however it is
recognized that "the preferred, longer term solution is likely to be membrane technology, which present
a local R&D opportunity since further development is needed. This could lead to local opportunities
for design, installation and maintenance of membrane separation equipment"[1]. In line with the above
requirements the proposed project develops and optimizes a membrane based treatment scheme for the
treating & recycling of the water within the industry. Another objective is to investigate several biological
processes within the membrane bioreactor (MBR) including nitrification/denitrification and biological
removal of cyanides.
