Produced Water Treatment
Contaminant Removal from Produced Water
Produced water is the largest volume by-product or waste stream generated during oil and gas exploration and production.
As oil and gas are brought to the surface, produced water accompanies them. This water contains chemical properties from both the formation it originated from and the associated hydrocarbons.
A produced water treatment package is utilized to separate and divide this water from the oil or gas. Effective management of this large volume of water is crucial for oil and gas producers, as it significantly impacts cost management.

Produced Water Treatment Methods
Produced Water Treatment Methods
Advanced separators
Including inclined plate and corrugated plate. Provide enhanced oil capture compared to basic oil/water separators.
HYDROCYCLONE
Hydrocyclone offer the benefit of no moving parts and effectively and reliably separates free oil.
Filtration
Filtration via different types of filter media, offering oil and grease removal.
Centrifuge
Centrifuge provides good separation of free and dispersed oil.
Coalescence
Coalescence gathers small oil droplets and combines them into larger droplets, making them easier to remove using other technologies.
Flotation
Flotation effectively removes free and dispersed oil.
