GWT Case Study -

Produced Water  Treatment/Reuse - Oil/Gas Industry


Challenge

A large oil processing company wanted to reuse their produced water from several oil wells applications. The water contained hydrocarbons, sulfate, TSS, BOD/COD, dissolved salts and high levels of iron and manganese at nearly 65-90 mg/l combined. 

Solution

Genesis Water Technologies provided consulting and engineering design as well as providing the specified system solution. The system solution included advanced oxidation process with recirculation in batch process followed by specialized backwash filtration systems with final tertiary treatment via desalination through a GWT series reverse osmosis system for removal of dissolved salts.

Results

The system was installed by our local project management/contractor on site with technical assistance provided by Genesis Water Technologies. The system is performing within operating parameters set by the client, reducing their operating and water disposal costs.

    De-icing of aircrafts and airfield pavement is important to ensure the safety of passengers and cargo operators. These operations can have negative environmental impacts, due to the presence of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, which contribute to high levels of BOD in surface water. Regulations are in place to ensure that waste from de-icing operations are properly collected and treated. The PeCOD® method for COD analysis is ideally suited for monitoring discharges from airport de-icing operations as...
