Abstract:
1. An apparatus for purifying produced water to make said water potable, comprising: an intake pump for bringing produced water into said apparatus; at least one ozone contact chamber for injecting ozone into the produced water being injected into at least one of the at least one centrifugal separator; a centrifugal separator for receiving ozone injected produced water from the at least one ozone contact chamber and mixing the injected ozone with the produced water, the mixing of the injected ozone with the produced water in the centrifugal separator destroying microbiological life forms within the ozone injected produced water, acting as a catalyst for a resolution process to resolve emulsified oil from suspension in the produced water, and precipitating soluble solids from the produced water, the centrifugal separator further separating the ozone injected produced water into the precipitated soluble solids, the resolved emulsified oils and the produced water; a series of progressive filtration components providing multiple levels for progressively filtering the produced water from the at least one centrifugal separator, each of the multiple levels filtering a smaller level of particles from the produced water than a preceding level, wherein the series of progressive filtration components further comprises: desalination filters for desalinating said progressively filter produced water.
