This paper describes an in-depth investigation of a steel companies waste water by looking at the feed water quality including size fractionation and chemical analyses of feed water constituents, bench scale fouling and scaling studies while applying some proprietary geochemical and RO process modeling tools. From these analyses, they were able ...

This paper describes details of the field pilot experience, highlighting the performance of an integrated membrane system toward production of consistent tertiary treated water quality. Details of the pilot test for enhanced oil recovery and hydraulic fracturing produced water treatment are presented....

This paper describes the use of ceramic membrane for produced water treatment and discusses membrane selection, operational performance comparison and cleaning approaches...

Water Planet, Inc has developed PolyCera, a high performance ultrafiltration membrane for wastewater treatment that uniquely combines advantages of both ceramic and polymeric membrane materials. Domestic secondary effluent wastewater was treated to a level safe for reuse at remote oil & gas production camps in South Texas. This testing demonstrated...

Water Planet Inc. (WPI) set out to design and demonstrate a solution to treat produced water from multiple oil & gas production sites to agricultural reuse water quality. WPI was selected to provide a treatment system to perform the separation of oils, solids, and other remaining elements from produced water. The platform consisting of a pilot scal...

Power production consumes significant amount of clean water and generates waste which due to global water demand needs to be treated and reused. Water Planet Inc. (WPI) set out to design and evaluate a novel and low cost membrane based treatment train to perform removal of silica, solids, and other remaining contaminants from the challenging coolin...

Current applications of membrane technology have demonstrated their high potential for meeting petroleum industry needs and their feasibility for treating produced water for reuse or safe environmental discharge. Selection of an optimal membrane material, form factor and modes of operation are critical for successful implementation. Oranic metal co...
