Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Oil and Gas Industry

1. Doublethink In The Desert: The Myth Of Recycling In The Permian Basin 6/17/2019

   Everyone is familiar with the water cut statistics: three to seven barrels of produced water emerge from the ground per barrel of oil. This oft-cited statistic is useful to appreciate the scale of the volumes of water produced in the Permian Basin. However, it does not tell the whole story.

2. 2 Applications That Triggered The Rise Of Coriolis Flow Measurement 11/1/2017

   Coriolis measurement has been adopted as a default technology in many application scenarios due to its high accuracy and immunity to process variables (temperature, pressure and flow profile). However, Coriolis wasn't always widely accepted. Two applications, in particular, helped what was once a nascent flow measurement technology gain a foothold in the marketplace.

3. Keep The Data Flowing In Oil And Gas 9/14/2022

   Read about the current business challenges in the oil and gas industry. 

4. Greenhouse Gas Flow Monitoring 12/27/2017

   While GHG certified flow meters have been in the news, the government is not certifying specific flow meter technologies or manufacturing companies that supply them. The important thing is to focus on is the specific process flue gas monitoring requirements while simultaneously meeting EPA’s regulations and maintaining company budget goals over the life cycle of the flow meter.

5. Fractional Electrodeionization (FEDI) Technology For RO Permeate Polishing And Demineralization 5/5/2016

   Sabine Pass, a large LNG refinery in the U.S., required a membrane desalination solution to cater to its extensive process water needs in order to produce a large amount of liquefied natural gas for export.

6. Michigan Pipeline Standoff Could Affect Water Protection And Indigenous Rights Across The U.S. 8/17/2023

   Should states and Indigenous nations be able to influence energy projects they view as harmful or contrary to their laws and values? This question lies at the center of a heated debate over Enbridge Energy’s Line 5 pipeline, which carries oil and natural gas across Wisconsin and Michigan.

7. Refinery Treats Groundwater Contamination While Saving Precious Facility Space 3/20/2020

   A large, Midwestern oil refinery installed two identical, 110’ diameter S&L Model R OXIGEST® treatment systems to solve a groundwater treatment problem on-site. Each plant incorporates aeration, clarification, and effluent holding, treating peak flows of 7.2 MGD combined; 4.3 MGD in each plant.

8. Breakthrough Technology Is Good For Fracking — And The Environment 12/1/2014

   The Department of Energy (DOE) is funding a demonstration project that remediates acid mine drainage water, providing both source water and useful byproducts for hydraulic fracturing operations.

9. 3M Purification Filtration In Process Cooling Water 12/1/2020

   The water used in cooling water systems must be filtered to reduce particulates and help protect downstream process equipment from various sources of contamination at numerous entry points.

10. 5 Municipal-Industrial Water Issues Analyzed 9/9/2016

    A water technology expert tackles high-profile and important topics currently affecting municipalities, industry, and the community at large.
