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 […]
Fit for Purpose: Designer Recycled Water for IPR, Irrigation, and Refinery Applications
This presentation will discuss West Basin Municipal Water District as a case study for innovative uses of recycled water. In its 20th year of water recycling with membrane technologies, West […]
Applying a Forward Osmosis (FO) Based Membrane Brine Concentrator to Oilfield Applications
Forward osmosis (FO) is the membrane-based process by which a high osmotic potential stream (i.e., draw solution) is used to capture fresh water from a saline or contaminated feed water. […]
Introduction to Membrane Technology
The presentation will describe the basics of membrane technology with an introduction to reverse osmosis, microfiltration and ultrafiltration. The differnces in how the separations are achieved and how the processes […]
Water Treatment Needs in Oil & Gas
This presentation will review the treatment technologies and strategies that are used to treat oilfield produced water for recycling and beneficial reuse while concentrating brine to minimize disposal volumes.
