ABSTRACT
This project investigates the potential environmental effect of chemically treated produced water of the oil and gas exploratory Industries of the Niger Delta. This is aimed at identifying the best and method of treating produced water. A Laboratory investigation of the Physio-chemical properties of chemically treated produced water was carried out, in order to know if it meets the required world health organisation (WHO) discharge standards, from the result of the produced water obtained, some of the physical parameters such as Total dissolved solids and PH was within the acceptable range of the world health organisation discharge standard. Other properties like Total suspended solids, Electrical Conductivity, Turbidity, Biochemical oxygen demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Salinity and Dissolved oxygen was not within the acceptable range of the world health organisation discharge standard. The results obtained showed that produced water can not be properly treated using chemical method (chemical precipitation) and potassium aluminosilicate as the coagulants. Therefore the biological method of produced water treatment is recommended.
