Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Oil and Gas Industry

1. Predicting The Worldwide Impact Of Water Scarcity On The Energy Sector 9/26/2014

   As water is stretched and regulations around it tightened, the energy industry feels the burden. This can result in everything from reduced operations and higher costs for consumers to,in extreme cases, blackouts and gas and electricity shortages.

2. How Oil & Gas States Did (And Did Not) Protect Land And Water In 2018 1/11/2019

   Keeping an eye on what happens with domestic oil and gas regulation is a bit like herding cats. We’ve seen encouraging progress on air quality issues related to oil and gas, but an equally critical front that’s seen major action is protection of our land and water resources.

3. Refinery Wastewater: Benefits Of Remediation By Electrocoagulation 2/1/2021

   Crude oil is a fossil fuel formed from long-dead organisms subjected to intense heat and pressure underground. This resource is the main ingredient in the production of gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricants, kerosene, propane, and asphalt. All of these products can be made in a single refinery through a complex branching series of chemical processes. The central refining process is atmospheric distillation whereby the crude oil is fractured into different components based on their differing boiling points. Each of these fractions will be sent along to separate process to be turned into the different oil products. Therefore, remediation of refinery wastewater from these different processes can be quite complex.

4. EPA-New Mexico Wastewater Report Is A Conversation Starter, Not The Final Word 1/4/2019

   When it comes to answering questions about whether the oil and gas industry’s wastewater can be safely reused for other purposes, like food crops, livestock, or even drinking water, there are a number of other serious factors to be considered.

5. Flow Meter Helps HollyFrontier’s Woods Cross Refinery Measure Flare Gas For Safety And Environmental Compliance 8/13/2018

   When the plant team at HollyFrontier’s Woods Cross Refinery, near Bountiful, Utah, needed mass flow meters to measure flare gas to the main flare header, the team drew on its past metering experiences for this difficult application.

6. Selenium Removal Technologies: A Review 1/15/2016

   Selenium, a contaminant of concern in industries such as mining, oil refining, and power generation, is removed from wastewater principally through either biological or chemical/physical processes. This article will describe those technologies, several technology providers, and other sources of information.

7. IDE Showcases Evaporator For SAGD Water Treatment In Canada 5/5/2015

   IDE recently hosted exclusive guided tours of its horizontal falling film evaporator for SAGD water treatment at the fabrication shop in Calgary, Alberta. Over three days more than 120 industry professionals had the opportunity to experience IDE's SAGD Horizontal Evaporator first hand.

8. Where Is RF Technology For Oil And Gas Headed? 9/14/2022

   Read for a quick snapshot of the technology movement we are seeing in the oil and gas industry right now.

9. Is ORP Your Best Option For Dechlorination Measurement? 10/28/2021

   With multiple variables of pH, temperature, oxidants, and reductants all contributing to a specific oxidation reduction potential (ORP) value, trying to identify low levels of total chlorine presence in water can become a bit of a guessing game. Here are some considerations for achieving more reliable accuracy when quantifying dechlorination results for applications ranging from RO membrane protection to wastewater discharge compliance.

10. Assessing Key Unconventional Shale Wastewater Trends And Opportunities 2/24/2014

    The shale-gas boom could make water the most important commodity product of the 21st century.
