Produced Water Treatment

Produced water is a wastewater generated from petroleum industry with high concentration of pollutants such as Total Dissolved Solid, Organic content, and Oil and grease. Membrane technology has been currently applied for produced water treatment due to its efficiency, compact, mild and clean process. The main problem of produced water using membrane is fouling on the membrane surface which causes on low permeate productivity. This paper is majority focused on the improvement of anti-fouling performance through several modifications to increase CA membrane hydrophilicity. The membrane was prepared by formulating the dope solution consists of 18 wt-% CA polymer, acetone, and PEG additive (3 wt-%, 5 wt-%, and 7 wt-%). The membranes are casted using NIPS method and being irradiated under UV light exposure. The SEM images show that parepared membrane has asymmetric structure consist of dense layer, intermediete layer, and finger-like support layer. The filtration test shows that PEG addition increase the membrane hydrophilicity and the permeate flux increases. UV light exposure on the membrane improves the membrane stability and hydrophilicity. The imrpovement of membrane anti-fouling performance is essential to achieve the higher productivity without lowering its pollutants rejection.

Abstract Traditionally, produced water from production separators is handled by multiple steps and different technologies in order to meet the required quality for either discharge or reinjection of the water. The development of the latest Compact Flotation Unit (CFU) technology has unlocked the potential for savings on cost, complexity, footprint and weight for the produced water treatment system. The developed CFU technology has proven applicable through field testing as a single treatment technology for reducing Oil-in-Water (OiW) content directly from tie-in at separator and still meet stringent requirements for outlet OiW quality. Field tests were conducted with inlet OiW concentration ranging from 200-2000 ppm, achieving results in the range 2.5 to 21 ppm only with a two-stage latest generation CFU. Compared to a traditional produced water system setup consisting of de-oiling hydrocyclones and a horizontal degassing vessel, the savings in footprint and operational weight is estimated to 54 % and 53 % respectively utilizing a two-stage CFU for a system with a design capacity of 76.000 BWPD. Furthermore, the development of the latest generation CFU technology has enabled the retrofit concept, incorporating the developed CFU internals into existing gravity separation based produced water vessels, converting them to more efficient flotation vessels with increased capacity. For brownfield and debottlenecking applications, operators are challenged by increasing water cut from maturing wells, and as a result exceeding the facilities design capacity for produced water treatment. This challenge is often further reinforced by increasingly stricter environmental legislation for OiW content for discharge or re-injection. The retrofit concept will offer a highly cost-, footprint- and weight-efficient solutions to these challenges utilizing existing vessels. Benefits of the retrofit concept: Bring proven and unique performance of the technology to other produced water separation vessels helping the operators improve the separation efficiency and increase throughput while meeting discharge requirementsShort execution time compared to installation of new process equipmentLow cost compared to installation of new process equipmentUtilization of existing equipment saves valuable footprint.
