Oily water treatment in a multistage tower operated under a novel induced pre-saturation process in the presence of a biosurfactant as collector

The increase in water-oil separation efficiency as a function of biosurfactant in a novel process of a continuous induced pre-saturation tower (IPST) with stages was described. The pre-saturation of the effluent in a new IPST prior to its entrance in each stage enabled enhancing the effect of the bi...
