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.

    In 1967 the City of Concordia, MO built a segmented lagoon system to handle the small town’s waste requirements. The main industry in Concordia is a Tyson renderings plant, and the lagoon system was designed to also handle that plant’s final waste and water polishing requirements. The lagoon system was a relatively standard design, consisting of an 18.7 acre primary lagoon, a 5.6 acre secondary, and a 3.2 acre final lagoon. All lagoons average 6 feet in depth, with the final outfall being received by...

  • Airport De-Icing Operations and Waste Water - Case Study

    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 it...

    Author’s note: The terms mill and plant are used interchangeably in this article to describe an industrial manufacturing unit, such as a Pulp & Paper Mill, Petroleum Refinery, Chemical Processing Plant, Meat & Poultry Processing, etc. Plant (or mill) outages come in two types – scheduled and unplanned. Scheduled outages are generally annual affairs at roughly the same time each year and are used to conduct maintenance or other work that cannot be performed while the plant is in full operation....

  • Control Algae and Improve the Water Quality in Waste Stabilization Ponds

    Due to population growth, accelerated urbanisation and economic development, the quantity of waste water generated is increasing globally. Mainly in low-income areas, a large proportion of the waste water is discharged directly in the environment. When the waste water is treated, the treatment plants may not remove certain pollutants that can have a negative impact on the people and ecosystem. Treated wastewater usually contains high levels of nutrients that can cause algae blooms on the water surface of storage...
