Abstract:
Treating distilled water with bacteria and other micro-organisms to remove nitrogen compounds from the distilled water. The distilled water may be produced from pretreating and distilling wastewater, such as wastewater from oil and natural gas production. The treatment steps of the distilled water include subjecting the water to microbial action under both anoxic and aerobic conditions and employing a membrane bioreactor to further purify the water. The purified water is still further purified by either reverse osmosis or ion exchange systems.
