Keeping Water Soft -- Next Generation Filtration for the Oil & Gas Industry
There is a need in many segments of the oil and gas production industry for an improvement in water filtration over traditional methods. This is especially true since the trend in oil and gas production is toward tighter, less permeable reservoirs and greater use of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques, many of which involve injecting water into oil reservoirs. In order to protect the ...

Comparison between ultrafiltration and nanofiltration hollow-fiber membranes for removal of natural organic matter: a pilot study
Increasing trends of natural organic matter (NOM) in surface water in Nordic countries may cause future problems for drinking water producers. Emerging membrane technology, such as ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF), has the potential to produce safe drinking water of good quality from sources with high organic concentrations. In the present pilot study, surface water from three ...

Water treatment technology for produced water
Large amounts of produced water are generated during oil and gas production. Produced water, as it is known in the oil industry, is briny fluid trapped in the rock of oil reservoirs. The objective of this study was to test produced waters from a Montana USA oilfield using a mobile station to design a plant to cost efficiently treat the produced water for agricultural irrigation. We used combined ...

R&D areas for next-generation desalination and water purification technologies
By 2020, desalination and water purification technologies are expected to contribute significantly to ensure a safe, sustainable, affordable and adequate water supply in India. The cost of producing water from the current-generation desalination technologies has declined over time at a rate of only approximately 4% per year. Hence the need to accelerate our Research and Development (R&D) ...

TB 56: Power plant in thailand uses liqui-cel® membrane contactors to remove co2 from water
A major power plant in Thailand is using Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors to remove carbon dioxide from a DI water system. The system is an expansion project and will be used to feed a high pressure boiler. Liqui-Cel Contactors are being used to lower the CO2 inlet into an Ionpure EDI system. Carbon dioxide adds an ionic load to the EDI system, which can reduce the performance of the system. ...
