Portable IR Analyzers Provide Petroleum & Wastewater Industries with Accurate Oil Content Measurements
Fixed filter infrared (IR) analyzers have been used to test oil levels in produced water on off-shore and on-shore drilling platforms for well over 45 years. U.S. EPA methods 418.1 and 413.2 were used extensively on a worldwide basis until the Montreal Protocol called for Freon (the solvent used in the analysis) to be phased out. Infrared analysis using tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene) is ...

On-Site Bioremediation Of Oily Waters At The Maintenance Facility Of South Jersey Port Corporation, Camden, NJ
Water from the maintenance shop in South Jersey Port Corporation in New Jersey was contaminated with free oil and grime during pressure washing of port vehicles. The shop would wash at least four vehicles in a day. Wash water was released through an oil water separator system using absorbent socks and diapers to absorb the oil before release into the waste stream as per the directive of the local ...

Different technology options for monitoring oil in produced water – inline continuous monitoring and IR analysis
No offshore facility wants to be caught with a sheen around their platform as that can result in a costly fine for exceeding discharge permit limits for oil. Onboard oil in water analyzers are necessary to ensure the oil/water separation systems are functioning properly before overboard disposal of the produced water. Bench top analyzers have traditionally been used to test oil in water although ...

Solvent-free oil-in-water analysis
Non-ionic surfactants can homogenize oily, produced water samples, creating optically clear microemulsions that are ideal for fluorescence measurements [1]. The use of surfactants to reduce fouling and improve the performance of on-line, fluorescence-based, oil-in-water monitors has been reported previously [2,3]. This paper describes the use of surfactants to prepare discrete water samples ...

Sea water desalination for sagunto, Spain
The Problem The Sagunto locality is situated in the region of the Camp of Morvedre in Spain. In recent years, a strong industrial growth has been anticipated in the zone. This has provoked a growing requirement for water in the Municipal Region of Sagunto. For this situation, the Sagunto Council planed to cover part of the future hydraulic deficit for short and long term with the construction of ...

What is Produced Water?
Produced water is a byproduct brought to the surface during oil and gas exploration and production. Sometimes it is called formation water, brine, or saltwater. It is typically brackish and comes from underground formations, either from zones adjacent to the oil and gas, or from the same zone as the hydrocarbons. In some oil and gas operations, the produced water results from injecting clean ...

HD#10 - BioLogix in High TPH Environment - Case Study
Summary A special blend of Delta’s microbes was successfully used to close oil field production pits as ordered by Alberta. Closure Rule 29-B required all non-utilized oil production pits closed with TPH levels less than 1%. These pits contained a mixture of drilling muds and produced water containing high concentrations of crude oil. The sludge had high water content and required aeration ...
