    WATER TREATMENT

    Water Treatment is a separation process through which contaminants, typically hydrocarbons (HC), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), salts, and solids are removed. The treatment system can consist of 3-phase separation, filtration, and stripping via contact with natural gas or nitrogen to strip H2S out of the water into the gas phase for disposal or further treatment. The specific arrangement and design varies and depends on the waste water composition and required water purity.

TDE evaluates and makes design considerations to determine optimum efficiency and enhance water treatment. TDE's Water Treatment Processes incorporate design aspects to minimize upfront capital costs.

TDE offers either our Standard Pre-Engineered Modular Packages or Fully Customized Designs to meet varying project and schedule requirements.

WATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES

TDE employs a variety of water treatment designs to accommodate the variation of contaminants in waste water. Characteristics including degree of HC oil emulsion, H2S concentration, suspended solids, and dissolved salts can impact the selection of the technology suited to treat and process waste water. Additional aspects considered in the evaluation include water purity specifications, contaminant disposal, environmental requirements, and economics.

WATER TREATMENT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

American Petroleum Institute (API) Separator
– Low capital cost
– Limited in removal of small droplets of oil and density approaching water

Corrugated Plate Interceptor (CPI)
– Enhanced gravity separation
– Corrugated plates induce oil and solid separation

Reverse Osmosis
– Suitable for treatment of brackish and seawater
– Membrane projections remove salts and contaminants

Walnut Shell Filter
– Natural affinity for oil adsorption by walnut media
– Backwash capability avoids disposal costs

Induced Gas Flotation (IGF)
– Flotation gas available (fuel gas or nitrogen)
– Outlet oil in water and solids spec
– Coagulant addition

Contaminants
– Solids are filtered, separated and removed as sludge
– Removal of organic compounds to meet spec
