Bureau of Reclamation Research on Produced Water
This presentation will provide an update on the last four years of research funded by Reclamation on produced water technologies. Each technology has varying positive and negative aspects with respect […]
Oilfield Produced Water Desalination Using Innovative Process: from Pilot to Full-Scale Project in Colombia
Produced water from oil field in Colombia, with capacity of 500,000 barrels/day (21 MGD) normally discharged as wastewater, is treated for irrigation water using innovative membrane treatment processes is decribed […]
Practical examples of new ways to clean oil fouled membranes
This paper reviews current thinking on reverse osmosis (RO) membrane cleaning. It challenges preconceptions and describes novel approaches for the removal of foulants and scale deposits from membrane surfaces. Improved […]
City of Missouri City -Regional Surface Water Treatment Plant
The City of Missouri City, in conjunction with 30plus municipal utility districts within the city limits, completed a 10 MGD (first phase) regional surface water treatment plant to meet the […]
Ceramic Membrane Use in Oil and Gas
Ideal applications for ceramic membranes include those in which the feed consists of emulsifed oily wastewaters at elevated temperatures. Select oily wastewater treatment applications will be desribed for both upstream […]
Recycling and Reuse of Produced Water in Steam Assisted Enhanced Oil Recovery Systems
During the production of oil and gas, there is a significant amount of water produced during the recovery process. The ability to recycle and reuse this water in the field […]
Case Studies of Treating Produced Water for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Using Polymeric Tubular UF Membrane
With aging of oil wells, the ratio of produced water volume to oil volume is keep increasing. Produced water becomes a natural choice of water supply for oil production process. […]
Membrane Applications Offshore
Membranes are replacing conventional water treatment processes in multiple offshore applications. Two (2) seawater membrane systems, one (1) for potable water production and one (1) for water injection, will be […]
MF/UF Direct Retrofit Solutions with High Performance TIPS Hollow-Fiber Membranes
The last twenty years of the UF industry has been dominated by system manufacturers who provided their own proprietary modules and unique system designs. While this has changed somewhat in […]
Membranes in Water Reuse in Petrochemical and Refining Facilities
This presentation will include a brief discussion of water membrane technologies and their applications in the petrochemical and refining industries, a survey of worldwide membrane installations for wastewater treatment and […]
