Results showed that COD exhibited an abnormal change in the single anaerobic system in which it increased within the first 168 hr, but then decreased to 222 mg/L after 360 hr. The biological oxygen demand （five-day） （BOD5）/COD ratio of the water increased from 0.05 to 0.15. Hydrocarbons in the wastewater, such as pectin, degraded to small molecules during the hydrolytic acidification process. Comparatively, the effect of ME was also investigated. The COD underwent a slight decrease and the BOD5/COD ratio of the water improved from 0,05 to 0.17 after ME. Removal of COD was 38.3% under the idealized ME conditions （pH 6.0）, using iron and active carbon （80 and 40 g/L, respectively）. Coupling the anaerobic process with ME accelerated the COD removal ratio （average removal was 53.3%）. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to analyze organic species conversion. This integrated system appeared to be a useful option for the treatment of water produced in oilfields.展开更多
