Prof. Hakim Saibi, Department of Geosciences, College of Science, explained, “The Ceramic Membrane-based Produced Water Treatment Technology (CMPWT) is an emerging technology for removing oil and particulates from oily water and it will be presented to students and researchers. This technology improves the quality of water and its use for agricultural and industrial purposes.
Mr. Nakamura Arata said that this modern technology, which is currently being developed by a joint team between the UAEU and Akita University in Japan, is unique and will serve the oil, gas and energy sector in the country. He stressed that companies are developing it to be economically feasible and serve the oil and gas sector to protect the environment and make effective use of heavy water in uses that achieve sustainability and preserve environment and agriculture.
