Electrocoagulation Provides an Economical Produced Water Solution to Oil & Gas Companies
Oil and natural gas are considered valuable resources all across the globe. The number of products made from these two materials is impressive and our lives would be very different without them. Production of these products begins with locating the underground sources of crude oil. These deep well sources are then mined to extract the oil and gas materials. Afterward, these raw materials are sent ...

Cogen plant produces distilled water
The Facility Tenaska IV Texas Partners cogeneration facility in Cleburne, Texas is a producer of electricity at a combined cycle plant. The Problem Tenaska wanted their Cleburne plant to be a Qualified Facility (QF). To achieve this, they elected to produce distilled water using the steam from the power generating equipment. A distilling plant using reverse osmosis reject as the feed will be ...

Produced water treatment from a to Zinc - reducing levels of Zinc in a produced water stream
Problem At vast depths, the ocean floor consists of layers of decaying plant and animal matter, containing chemicals like sulphate and zinc, which has built up over the years. When operators are drilling, the matter is disturbed and the various chemicals are released into the water. Since the mid 1980’s the pace of exploration, production, and development in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico ...

Flowback Water Treatment in the Permian Basin: A Pilot Case Study for a Large Oil/Gas Exploration Company
Produced water from the extraction process of oil and gas reserves, as well as flow back water from hydraulic fracturing operations, must be properly managed in order to mitigate any environmental impacts to existing water supplies caused by oil drilling/fracturing activities. Recent research and data indicate that the amount of produced water from these energy exploration and drilling operations ...

Produced-water Recycling and Energy Reduction for Central Oklahoma
Enhanced oil and gas recovery (fracturing) techniques and water go hand in hand. Current pressures including limited fresh water sources, transportation, fracturing volume requirements, and disposal costs and restrictions are driving the development of new water management strategies. Recycling and managed biologic treatment of surface water is proving to be a cost-effective, more environmentally ...

The effects and control of viscosity loss of polymer solution compounded by produced water in oilfield development
To avoid the environment pollution and remit the pressure of produced water stored up in water stations at high–water–cut stage, a special technology of enhanced oil recovery (EOR), in which produced water is used for compounding polymer solution, has been formed in Daqing Oilfield. However, the viscosity loss is difficult to be avoided only by modifying the polymer production. Then the effects ...

4 Produced Water Treatment Technologies to Meet Regulations
In the U.S. alone, oil and gas production is skyrocketing. In the first two months of 2023, oil and gas production increased to 5,985 billion cubic feet, a record number that surpasses the 5,600 billion cubic feet the industry saw in the same period in 2022. The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts that crude oil production will continue to increase and hit new records in 2023 and ...

A socio-technical model to explore urban water systems scenarios
This article reports on the ongoing work and research involved in the development of a socio-technical model of urban water systems. Socio-technical means the model is not so much concerned with the technical or biophysical aspects of urban water systems, but rather with the social and institutional implications of the urban water infrastructure and vice versa. A socio-technical model, in the ...

Produced water treated for Reuse at Colombia oilfield - Case study
Multistage wastewater treatment and desalination allow produced water to be recycled for irrigation A Colombian oilfield with higher-than-average amounts of produced water turned to Fluence for a solution that would purify the water for reuse in irrigation. Background The central Colombian municipality of Puerto Gaitán is home to the nation’s largest crude oilfield. One of the ...

Sea water treatment for shrimp farming - Case Study
Global demand for seafood remains high, yet farming shrimps in aquaculture is a tricky business. Disinfection and desalination systems significantly improve the water quality in the breeding tanks, thereby improving the shrimp survival rate. Task Aquaculture - a growth market Shrimps are a popular delicacy, especially in Europe and the USA. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of ...

Wastewater Treatment for the Mining Industry
Sustainable wastewater technologies minimize mining’s environmental footprint Mining for some minerals, including coal, has been diminishing due to increased financial, social, and environmental pressures, both in the United States and abroad. At the same time, mining for lithium and other metals — used in energy storage for electric cars, and wind and solar generation — is ...

How has GWT RO Waste Water Recycling Helped Industrial Organizations Reduce Costs & Reuse Their Wastewater?
Reverse osmosis desalination isn’t just useful for drinking water or process water TDS removal. RO waste water recycling can make use of the reverse osmosis process in a tertiary stage treatment to greatly reduce total dissolved solids and increase the quality of the treated water. Post treated water can typically be reused in many industrial process water applications. Many companies seek ...
