Oil & solids removal
Assessment of separation and solids removal stages against feed conditions and treatment targets.
Produced Water Treatment
Treatment matched to your production conditions.
Independent process engineering for produced water systems in the oil and gas industry, from characterisation and treatment selection to design review and plant optimisation.
Discuss your produced water projectStart with the water and its destination
We assess produced water characteristics, operating conditions and the required treated water quality to establish a practical treatment basis. Our reviews consider upstream separation, production chemicals and the interfaces with discharge, reinjection or reuse systems.
Treatment areas we support
Polishing & filtration
Review of downstream treatment to meet the required oil and solids specifications.
Discharge, reinjection & reuse
Treatment options assessed against the requirements of the intended water destination.
Where we can help
- 01
Water characterisation
Review composition, flow variation and sampling needs to establish the design basis.
- 02
Separation performance
Assess oil removal, solids loading and the performance of connected treatment stages.
- 03
Chemical treatment
Review dosing arrangements and potential interactions with downstream treatment.
- 04
Water quality requirements
Translate project-specific discharge, reinjection or reuse requirements into treatment targets.
- 05
Capacity & operating changes
Assess existing equipment against changing flows and production conditions.
- 06
Troubleshooting & upgrades
Investigate shortfalls and compare operating improvements with modification options.
Treatment processes
- Gravity and plate separation
- Hydrocyclones
- Induced and dissolved gas flotation
- Walnut shell and media filtration
- Cartridge filtration
- Chemical treatment and demulsification
Membrane and additional polishing options are assessed where appropriate to the water quality and treatment duty.Scaling and chemical compatibility are considered as part of the process assessment.
Independent review of your treatment package
We review the process basis, equipment duty, operating flexibility and package interfaces to help you assess proposals and identify technical gaps.
