Embodiment Construction

[0019] refer to figure 1 , in one embodiment, the present invention provides a filter 100 through which a contaminated fluid may be introduced for subsequent removal of contaminants within the fluid. Fluids that may be treated according to the present invention may be viscous (such as oils) or non-viscous (such as liquids or gases). Contaminants that can be removed by the system of the present invention include heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and lead in complex fluid or waste streams such as produced water from oil reservoirs, and mercury in various effluents and contaminated slops.

[0020]In one embodiment, filter 100 includes a first filter element 110 and a second filter element 120 . As shown, filter element 100 may be provided with an outer surface 111 and an inner surface 112 . Likewise, filter element 120 includes an outer surface 121 and an inner surface 122 . In one embodiment, filter elements 110 and 120 may be substantially flat sheets of filter...

Abstract

A filter for use in the treatment of contaminated fluid is provided. The filter, in an embodiment, includes two filter elements, each substantially flat in shape, for use in removing certain contaminants from the fluid flow. The filter further includes a waste adsorbent material, positioned between the two filter elements for use in removing additional contaminants within the fluid flowing across the filter elements. The waste adsorbent material, in an embodiment, may be a nanosorbent material manufactured from self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports (SAMMS). The filter can form a barrier through which contaminated fluid flows for removing certain contaminants from the fluid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to filters for treating contaminated fluids and methods of making said filters, and more particularly, the present invention relates to laminar filtration using self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports in the removal of toxic heavy metals from contaminated fluids device. Background technique [0002] Produced fluids, such as water, from offshore oil platforms may contain toxic heavy metals such as mercury. In the Gulf of Mexico, mercury levels rarely exceed one hundred parts per billion (100 ppb). However, in the Gulf of Thailand, average concentrations of mercury in produced water from oil reservoirs can range from about 200 ppb to about 2,000 ppb. [0003] Currently, releases of mercury into the U.S. territorial waters marine environment are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Water Act through the National Pollutant Release Removal System licensing process. According to...
