The oil and gas fracking is a widely used process which also is creating some by-products in produced water to be stored and cleaned. This needs treatment of bottom sediment and water dewatered from crude oil tanks, accumulating in evaporation ponds. This drained water shows high salinity and needs reduction on the BOD values and other contaminants to comply with the marine discharge limits such as COD, TOC, heavy metals and Ammonia.
To treat this special water with capacity of 250 m³/d, a dedicated cutting edge treatment plant including several specific treatment steps is necessary.
Terminals Tank Farm & Evaporation Ponds ETP
In 2017 MENA-Water took the challenge to develop an ETP including the complete design, construction and commissioning for a client in Arabia. For quick realization and full flexibility the complete plant was implemented as containerized package plant. As scheduled the plant was built and successfully put into operation.
The plant is fully controlled by PLC and remote monitoring allows to observe the process from control center. Now the effluent water can be disposed safely into marine water.
