As an alternative to fresh water, produced water — the water brought up with oil and gas during extraction — represents a more practical, environmentally responsible source of boiler-feed. Extraction of heavy oil typically involves vast amounts of water for the production of steam for injection into formations (steam flooding, cyclic steam, SAGD). Eco-Tec’s systems represent a safer, smaller, more efficient way of treating produced water to reduce scaling and corrosion, while eliminating conventional problems such as high chemical (salt, acid, caustic) consumption and poor oil and solids filtration quality.
Installed around the world, Eco-Tec’s Produced Water Treatment systems come with start-up supervision, customer training, full factory pre-testing, and access to the ECO-SE
Benefits behind our Softeners:
- Uses 40-80% less salt and waste for regeneration compared with conventional softeners treating an equivalent quality and quantity of water.
- z Pre-assembled, skid mounted, easy installation
- Less space – 50% less floor space, up to 70% less headroom, better resin kinetics
- Less waste – Brine regeneration eliminates acid and caustic soda
- Better Performance – Better resin kinetics, resin efficiency, longer resin life
- Reduced operating costs – Better resin kinetics, reduced resin replacement costs
Benefits behind our Filters:
- Removes virtually all particles >2 micron, significantly reduces <2 micron particles.
- Filtrate comparable to a 1 micron cartridge filter, far better than the 5-10 micron rated filters often used in such service; cartridge filters can be eliminated saving costs, labor, materials, etc.
- Elimination of fouling downstream ion exchange by suspended solids; reduction of oil fouling ion exchange resins.
- Reduced oil entering evaporatorimproves crystallization and overall process and reduces scaling potential.
- Lower Installed Costs – Pre-assembled, pre-programmed, skid-mounted
- Easy Retrofit/Space Saving – Short, compact skids, 50% less space than other systems.
- Reduced Labour/Downtime – Fully automated, self-diagnostic features
- Remote Monitoring – Key operating parameters available from remote location
