This process is designed to provide the following benefits:
- Flexibility in the volume of water treated – the process
can be set up to treat as much as 20,000 barrels of water per day or as little
as 2,000 barrels of water per day.
- Adaptability to fixed facilities – the technology is designed to be
used in a portable setting, but is adaptable for use in a fixed, central facility
as well.
- Ease of chemical transportation – the process allows operators to
select treatment chemistry based on ease of material handling at the drilling
site.
- Supports using a “green” water recycling approach – the process offers an environmentally friendly option to treat produced water for recycling use, which reduces vehicle traffic because water does not need to be transferred to another location for disposal purposes.
