Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Oil and Gas Industry

1. Can SNOWater Fix Fracking Treatment? 12/19/2017

   As the popularity of hydraulic fracturing continues to strain available water supplies, a new technology may be the key to recycling produced water in an affordable way.

2. Profit Potential Of Industrial Wastewater In The Circular Economy 12/11/2017

   In the midst of a global water crisis, industries today too often overlook a river of revenue opportunity: their own wastewater.

3. Ion Exchange Resins Reduce Pollution From Refineries 12/23/2013

   A single operational oil and gas refinery produces millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater a year, leading to environmental pollution concerns. Ion exchange resins are a metal- and ion-removal solution to help clean this wastewater for plant reuse or safe disposal. This application guide explains how resins can be used to demineralize refinery water in process, boiler, and cooling water applications.

4. Water Management For Fracking Evolves 11/19/2014

   To date, the bulk of analysis on the U.S. fracking industry has largely centered on well counts and oil and gas production.

5. Forward Osmosis: How It Works, And Why It's Important 3/24/2014

   Is this innovative desalination technique ready to topple incumbent technologies? An industry expert explains the benefits and potential of forward osmosis.

6. EPA And Canadian Researchers Partner To Ensure Effective Responses To Oil Spills 8/30/2022

   The U.S.-Canada border is the world’s longest shared border and includes four of the five Great Lakes, many rivers, additional lakes, major airsheds and migratory routes for wildlife species. In addition, there are many Native American Tribes and First Nations residents whose culture extends across the border.

7. Magnetic Flow Meters Improve Recycling Of Gas Well-Produced Water 11/26/2019

   As old gas & oil fields play out, newer methods must be used to extract resources from areas where they are locked in layers of shale. One current technique is known as “fraccing,” in which high pressure water is pumped into the well shaft to “fracture” the rock layers, allowing more natural gas to escape and be collected. However, this technique poses a number of environmental problems, including contamination of water with hydrocarbons, solid particulates, and scale producing ions — making it unsuitable for reuse.

8. 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.

9. Recycling Wastewater from Oil And Gas Wells Poses Challenges 11/12/2015

   Each year, the oil and gas industry produces more than 800 billion gallons of wastewater. Coupling the massive volumes of wastewater generated over the life of the well and the millions of gallons of water needed to hydraulically fracture each well, it’s easy to see that oil and gas exploration and production is just as much a water issue as it is an energy issue.

10. Pump Health Monitoring 1/20/2021

    In process industries such as oil and gas, pharmaceutical and chemical, it is essential to maintain and prolong the lifetime of critical assets including pumps, valves, heat exchangers and compressors.
