A system for processing oilfield produced water comprises an onsite non-turbulent fractioning centrifuge configured to pretreat the produced waters and remove emulsified oil therefrom to generate de-oiled water. The centrifuge comprises separating a heavier component from a lighter component within a mixed fluid via a separator chamber, a stack of driven flat discs, a disc shaft rotator, a first outlet for the heavier component and a second outlet for the lighter component and a feed pump that supplies raw fluids to the separator. Also included, is an onsite means to eradicate remaining petroleum hydrocarbons and related contaminants and generate oil-free water thereby. An onsite water demineralizer generates potable water from the oil-free water. A system for separating and processing oilfield produced water further comprises an aggregate tank battery configured to collect raw fluids from wells and pipelines and separate crude oil and produced waters via gravity.
