Instructions:
The oil and gas industry generates a significant amount of wastewater that requires effective treatment. Imagine you are an environmental engineer working for an oil company. You are tasked with developing a plan to improve your company's water treatment practices and minimize environmental impact.
1. Identify two key areas where your company's water treatment practices could be improved.
2. Research and propose two specific technologies or methods that could be implemented to address these areas.
3. Explain how these technologies or methods align with API's initiatives for cleaner water and environmental stewardship.
This exercise is designed to encourage critical thinking and research. Here are some examples of potential answers:
1. Key areas for improvement:
2. Specific technologies or methods:
3. Alignment with API's initiatives:
