AquaSwiss offers advanced pre-treatments such as nano-filtration, biological filters, clarifiers and other fit-for-purpose pre-treatments coupled with our thermal units to deliver solutions for complex feed-waters such as very high salinities (100,000 ppm), high temperatures, an high silica content. Using these solutions we can deliver drinking, agricultural, service, or demineralized water from oil & gas produced (formation) water and industrial effluents. We also work with our clients to help them achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD).
The costs for converting such oilfield produced (formation water) into usable water can be comparable to, and at times less than the cost of their conventional disposal as waste water.
We help turn environmentally hazardous, disposable waste into usable water for the communities, using low carbon foot print and low chemical consumption technologies.
In all such oil field and industrial cases, AquaSwiss tailors its solutions to the client’s specific needs, working closely as a consultant with the client.
Applications:
- oil & gas / petroleum:
- Treating formation (produced water) from oil fields
- Steam generation for injection in heavy oil reservoirs
- Treatment and desalination the water produced after fracking (hydro-fracturing) of tight oil and gas wells
- Treatment and desalination of water produced by de-watering of coal bed methane (CBM) reservoirs
- mines: concentration of saline mine water
- chemical process industries: recovery of effluents with minimum levels of waste discharge
- utilities: concentration of blow-downs, brines, regeneration effluents and wastes
- pulp & paper: reduction of waste volume to zero discharge
- textile: reduction of waste water and minimizing disposal costs
- citric acid: concentration of acid solutions
