Applications

Application scenarios to start an engineering dialogue.

Example of an industrial site for oily-water treatment.

Produced water from oil & gas fields

Problem
High water cut and residual dispersed oil after primary separation.
Role
A compact coalescing stage before reinjection, discharge or reuse.
Input data
Flow rate, inlet oil, TSS, salinity, temperature, upstream equipment scheme, target quality.
Configuration
Single vessel, series polishing or N+1.
Limitation
Targets below 5 ppm oil depend on the project design and require testing

Refinery oily wastewater

Problem
Emulsions and solid contaminants overload classic filters.
Role
Can serve as a polishing stage or intermediate coalescing stage.
Input data
Oil ppm, TSS, chemicals, temperature, duty mode, site.
Configuration
Complete skid unit after water characterization.
Limitation
A detailed review of the upstream chemical program is required before testing.

Discharge polishing

Problem
Need to approach the regulated residual oil content.
Role
Engineered polishing option when the feed water is suitable.
Input data
Local regulatory requirements, water quality, stability of upstream equipment.
Configuration
Often series polishing.
Limitation
Energy costs for salt removal to meet discharge standards after oil removal are often higher than for reinjection.

Preparation for reinjection (PWRI)

Problem
Residual oil and TSS reduce well injectivity.
Role
Delivers the required water quality for reinjection.
Input data
Injection specification, oil and solids metrics, reservoir constraints.
Configuration
N+1 is often used for continuous injection.
Limitation
Injection organization requirements vary by facility.

Reuse

Problem
Oily water needs to be prepared for reuse.
Role
Can be part of a water treatment chain to remove oil and TSS before subsequent stages.
Input data
Reuse targets, chemicals, temperature, intermittency.
Configuration
Determined after water analysis and process requirements.
Limitation
Effective reuse depends on treatment stages upstream and downstream.
