Abstract
A water treatment method is provided. The method includes filtering water in a membrane filtration unit including at least one membrane filtration module, collecting a permeate and collecting a retentate at the outlet of the membrane filtration module, withdrawing solid materials and/or hydrocarbons contained in the retentate, in order to provide a treated retentate, recycling the treated retentate at the inlet of the membrane filtration module, and providing a treated water flow from the permeate from membrane filtration module(s). An installation adapted for applying this method is also provided.
