The testing results show that the treated PFPW has two kinds, one is the diluted treated PFPW, the total dissolved solids (TDS) of the diluted treated PFPW is less than the original PFPW, the diluted treated PFPW is feasible for confecting polymer solution;another one is the concentrated treated PFPW, the TDS of the concentrated treated PFPW exceeds the original PFPW, the concentrated treated PFPW is feasible for replacing the PFPW as the injecting water in the water-flooding process for high permeability layer. This treatment technology can not only decrease environment pollution resulted by the PFPW discharge, but also achieve closed-circuit of the water resource during crude oil extraction by using polymer flooding technology.展开更多
