The study focused on the treatment of real oilfield produced water from the East Baghdad field affiliated to the
Midland Oil Company (Iraq) using an oil skimming process followed by a coagulation/flocculation process for zero liquid
discharge system applications. Belt type oil skimmer was utilized for evaluating the process efficiency with various operating
conditions such as temperature (17-40 °C) and time (0.5-2.5 hr.). Polyaluminum chloride (PAC) coagulant and polyacrylamide
(PAM) flocculant was used to investigate the performance of the coagulation/flocculation process with PAC dosage (5-90 ppm)
and pH (5-10) as operating conditions. In the skimming process, the oil content, COD, turbidity, and TSS decreased with an
increase in tempera
