Produced water is the by-product of the oil and gas processing. This water is different from any common water because it contains the dangerous chemical substances and matters in the oil and gas. Much produced water is brine, is brine, and has total has total dissolved solids too high for use as drinking water or in agriculture. Some produced water contains heavy contains heavy metals and traces of naturally naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM), which over time deposits radioactive scale in the piping at the well. Metals found in produced water include zinc, include zinc, lead, lead, manganese, manganese, iron, iron, and barium. and barium.that that can endanger the environmental stability. The right processing is all that it needs to make produced water that is drinkable or usable. The membrane technology is one of the water processing technologies with a Nano filtration method. But, as in the usage, it still stil l lacks in the field fiel d of fouling and cannot fulfilled the specification of usable water. Thus, this becomes the reason that bases this research. In this paper, there will be made a polyether sulfone membrane with an inversion phase method and an addition of Nano-antifouling compound, ZnO. Total dissolved solids (TDS) value is the parameter of of the water is usable or not. The qualitative result of hypothesis analysis shows that the TDS value from produced water decreased from 6600 into 1500. It shows that by using Polyether sulfone (PES)-ZnO membrane, we can increase the separation performance. Thence, this method is suitable for processing the produced water into usable water. To obtain maximum results with smaller TDS, the membranes can be combined with RO system such as pre-filters, booster pumps, post filters, pressurized tanks for storing products and stainless steel or plastic faucets. By the addition of these equipment are able to reduce TDS to meet the quality standards of water. This election is i s based on a more economical finance, it is found that it takes 5.580.000 IDR within 20.4 months of utilization.
