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.

  • 3 Water Utilities that Lowered their Arsenic Levels with AdEdge

    Finding an appropriate solution to address arsenic in raw water can be challenging for utilities. Studies have shown that when ingested in high concentrations, it is linked to cancer in the skin, lungs, bladder and kidney, and can cause significant skin changes, such as thickening and pigmentation, as well as other health issues. For this reason, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a maximum contaminant level standard of 0.01 mg/L. Throughout the country, municipalities are looking for ways to...

  • Test of precoat filtration technology for treatment of swimming pool water

    The technical performance of a precoat filter was compared with that of a traditional sand filter. Particle concentration and size distribution were measured before and after the filtration of swimming pool water. Both the sand and precoat filters could reduce the particle concentration in the effluent. However, higher particle removal efficiency was generally observed for the precoat filter, especially for particles smaller than 10 μm in diameter. Adding flocculant improved the removal efficiency of the sand...
