Waste water from petroleum industry will pollute the environment, waste water resources, and increase the cost of petroleum production if it were discharged directly. Analysis test results indicate that the main components of the waste water are suspended solids, heavy metal ions, crude oil, octadecylamine, hexadecylamine, barite, quartz, calcite, dolomite and platioclase. Through the process of acidizing, neutralization, flocculation, oxidization and filtration, solids can decrease from 344 mg/L to less than 10 mg/L. percentage of crude oil can decrease from 35.67 mg/L to less than 5 mg/L, the value of CODcr decreases from 2.34x104 mg/L to 400 mg/L and all the heavy metal ions can be totally removed from waste water. The water can be either discharged into environment directly or injected into oil wells for oil recovery after our treatment, which protects environment, saves water and reduces production cost.
