Markets
Power
The power industry is one of the greatest consumers of water worldwide. Key issues in facing the power industry include:
- Complying with increasingly stringent pollution guidelines by supplying Zero Liquid Discharge systems or other more traditional methods
- Recycle reuse within the plant by implementing various technologies to economically address water scarcity and permitting issues
- Providing plant operational services to address the growing concern of operational and labor risks
From oil fired to nuclear, boiler feed water to Zero Liquid discharge, Aquatech has the track record and experience to offer its client complete solutions and help them address the industry’s key water issues.
Oil & Gas
In recent decades, the Oil and Gas industry has undergone significant changes. Whether in the upstream or downstream sectors, water and water treatment has remained a key factor for successful operations.
For over 30 years, Aquatech has been providing integrated solutions to the Oil and Gas industry to ensure our customers’ production and refining processes operate in an efficient and safe manner. Through our wide range of technologies, services and extensive knowledge, Aquatech has been serving some of the largest global Oil and Gas companies in meeting their water and wastewater needs.
Water Management Solutions for Unconventional Gas
Good for the Industry & Good for the Environment
Global Commitment to the Energy Industry.
30 Years And Counting
Based in Pennsylvania, we are strategically located within the Marcellus Shale region. This enables us to leverage local and immediate knowledge of shale gas applications as it pertains to water, that gas companies can benefit from. With our broad portfolio of technologies and extensive experience, we can ensure the effective treatment of flowback and produced water.
Wastewater Reuse
Aquatech is actively engaged in wastewater treatment, recycle & reuse of Industrial as well as Municipal waste water. We are progressively making steps for completely integrated Waste water treatment and recycle / reuse systems under one umbrella. Systems consists of primary treatment for raw waste water, secondary treatment using aerobic and anaerobic processes having advanced technologies followed by Tertiary treatment consisting of Media filtration, Ion exchange & HEROTM processes.
Desalination
50 years of Technology Leadership
Today more than ever, sea water is becoming a viable source of water supply around the world. Aquatech is ideally positioned to answer this demand.
Our history in desalination is almost as impressive as our technical capabilities. In the late 1950's we developed and patented Multistage Flash (MSF) technology, installing the first large MSF plants in the middle East in the early 1960's. We patented the Multiple Effect Distillation (MED) process and built plants in the Middle and Far East in the 1970's. Membrane technology development followed in the 1980's. All of this history has made us a company with first class references in MSF, MED, and SWRO on virtually every continent.
Microelectronics
In micro-electronics industry ultra-pure water (UPW) is integral to the various manufacturing processes. UPW is essential to properly fabricate today’s integrated circuits, and is the primary solvent used to remove contaminants that decrease the yield of usable circuits. Aquatech’s integrated systems & solutions has played a critical role in providing UPW that meets the specific demand at the same time reducing wastewater produced & energy required to drive various unit operations.
Food & Beverage
Food and Beverage Product and Process waters require treatment of even the best water supply to guarantee the quality and purity of the final product … and with the added task of assuring a long shelf life.
Plant wastewaters must consistently meet all regulatory requirements even when faced with highly variable loadings and flows.
Desalination
Aquatech is committed to being the leader in membrane technology with a focus on breaking barriers related to pretreatment, energy recovery, and overall water recovery. We are progressively making strides in optimizing the lifecycle cost and increasing the reliability of Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) installations. Our approach is to take complete responsibility of SWRO installations to ensure complete design integration….. from intake to outfall, Aquatech can take single point responsibility.
More than a decade of experience with SWRO desalination installations on four continents
• Capability to design and execute integrated desalination projects on an EPC basis
• Potabilisation system design for Boron removal as per global standards
• In-House programming capabilities lower overall start-up costs, improve reliability and ensure better plant availability
• A dedicated Membrane Desalination Center of Excellence focused on the development of cutting edge solutions for large SWRO plants
Desalination
Aquatech MSF desalination technology was developed more than fifty years ago, and we were amongst the first to install large size MSF plants in Saudi Arabia, a key market for desalination. With our depth of technological expertise and experience in operating plants, we are positioned to offer the best support in design optimization and rehabilitation of existing facilities.
• Uses low pressure steam as heat source
• Highly reliable, and simple to operate and maintain
• Simpler supply water pretreatment
• Minimum down time; so, higher availability factor
• High purity product water
• Provides thermal energy efficiency similar to the MED process
• Operates at a top brine temperature °C to minimize scaling and to prevent corrosion
Desalination
Aquatech’s MED desalination technology using a spray film™ design has been developed and improved over decades of in- house research and onsite experience of such systems worldwide to provide an environmentally friendly system to meet the global challenges of a reduced carbon footprint.
Multiple Effect Distillation (MED)
• Production capacity up to 10 MIGD (45,500 m3/day) in a single unit
• Significantly lower electrical consumption when compared to other desalination processes
• Design flexibility to use low to medium pressure supply steam
• Minimum down time and therefore a higher plant availability factor
• High purity product water
• Operates at a low top brine temperature (<70 °C) to minimize scaling and to prevent corrosion
• Allows use of lower cost but reliable and proven metallurgy
• Use of Thermo Vapor Compressor to increase efficiency
