This study investigated a novel application of forward osmosis (FO) for oilfield produced water
treatment from the East Baghdad oilfield affiliated to the Midland Oil Company (Iraq). FO is a
part of a zero liquid discharge system that consists of oil skimming, coagulation/flocculation, forward osmosis, and crystallization. Treatment of oilfield produced water requires systems that use
a sustainable driving force to treat high-ionic-strength wastewater and have the ability to separate a wide range of contaminants. The laboratory-scale system was used to evaluate the performance of a cellulose triacetate hollow fiber CTA-HF membrane for the FO process. In this work,
sodium chloride solution was used as a feed solution (FS) with a concentratio
