Likuid-PW


The PRODUCTS

• Ceramic UF for oily wastewater treatment and reuse.

Oil and grease in water can be found in 3 forms, which differ in the size of oil droplets:

Free oil> 150 µm• Conventional mechanical

separation:• API, skimmer, gravity...

Dispersed oil20 – 150 µm • Physical-chemical (DAF)• Hydrociclon• Depth filtration

Emulsified oil< 20 µm • Chemical demulsification+ DAF • Ultrafiltration

EMULSIFIED OIL:Chemical demulsification + DAF It works properly when the dischargerequirements are not demanding, but it has certain limitations:

- Unstable when the influent characteristics are variable- High supervision and control requirements- High chemical consumption and excess sludge production

CERAMIC ULTRAFILTRATION: highly efficient technology for O&G removal, since ceramic membranes are characterized by their high hydrophilicity, in such a way that they attract water and reject oil.

PRODUCED WATER treatment and reuse

✓ Produced water: Water that is produced as a byproduct along with the oil and gas. Complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds, dissolved or not. Main concern: Oil and Grease removal.

✓ Typical treatment scheme:

Sea discharge (< 29 mgO&G/L)

< 5 µm particles not removed

Reuse for reinyection

✓ Growing interest in using ceramic membranes for this application:

Ceramic material: the best for oil/water separation (highly hydrophilic)Inert to organic solventsResistance against mechanical, thermal, and chemical stress (chemical regeneration)Highly compact systems (the footprint is especially important in offshore installations)
