Water Purification Systems Based On Macro Porous Polymers (MPPE)


VWS MPP Systems is the hydrocarbon removal water treatment specialist and a member of the VWS Oil & Gas division of Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies

MPP Systems is specialized in developing, marketing, manufacturing and servicing water purification systems based on Macro Porous Polymers (MPP). The Macro Porous Polymer Extraction (MPPE) system is a highly effective, fully automated, remote controlled and guaranteed technology for removing hydrocarbons from water by means of extraction in a MPP bed.

MPPE systems are used for:

· Offshore and onshore produced water

· Industrial waste water

· Industrial process water

· Groundwater

MPPE removes dissolved and dispersed hydrocarbons with removal rates of 99.9999%, down to below ppb level or any desired level. Removable hydrocarbons, e.g.:

· Aliphatic

· Aromatic

· Poly aromatic

· Halogenated, e.g. chlorinated, bromated

Water Purification Systems Based on Macro Porous Polymers


Macro Porous Polymers (MPP)

The MPPE technology can be applied anywhere in the water line upstream or end of pipe. The treated water may be recycled to process, discharged to surface water or to site/municipal biotreatment.

Typical challenges MPPE can meet:
• High influent concentrations
• High reduction factors
• Varying concentrations and compositions
• Varying flows
• Varying/wide pH range
• Presence of salts, surfactants, heavy metals, alcohols, monomer residues, pre-polymers etc.

MPPE benefits

• Small footprint
• Upstream integrated operation with remote control
• Scope for adding other waste- and groundwater streams, for treatment in one unit
• Reduced sludge formation in biotreatment
• Modular set up for large flows (thousands of m3/hr)

Removal of total spectrum of non-polar and polar organics prove in practice:
• MPPE removes toxic non-polar, non-biodegradable compounds
• Followed by treatment removing polar biodegradable compounds
• Optional: UF and/or activated carbon filtration and RO for reuse as process or boiler feed water

Process Water Streams Treatment


Process Water Treatment

MPPE for Zero Harmful Discharge

Risk based management of offshore produced water is gaining worldwide interest of Oil & Gas companies and governments . Specific water treatment focused on removing toxic hydrocarbons leads to Zero Harmful Discharge (ZHD).

MPPE removes dissolved and dispersed toxic hydrocarbons:

• Aliphatics (dispersed oil)
• Aromatics (BTEX)
• Polyaromatics (PAHs)
• NPD (Naphtalenes, Phenanthrenes, Dibenzothiophenes)
• Hydrophobic parts of field chemicals (e.g. inhibitors)

MPPE for Zero Harmful Discharge
• Environmental Impact Factor (EIF) reduction with 95-99%

100% water and hydrocarbon recovery
• Separated hydrocarbons practically pure for (re) use
• No waste stream/ sludge formation

Robust and can withstand:
• Salt, methanol, glycols
• Corrosion inhibitors
• Scale inhibitors
• H2S scavengers
• Demulsifiers
• Defoamers etc.
• Dissolved (heavy) metals

Evidence of success:
• MPPE selected as best option among 55 technologies (Government and Oil & Gas Industry Study)
• MPPE listed by OSPAR as Best Available Technology (BAT)
• Experience published with customers at conferences 
- TOTAL;SPE
- Shell/Exxon L2 offshore; OTC
- Statoil Kollsnes; TÜV/NEL;SPE
- Statoil/Shell Ormen Lange; TÜV/NEL, TEKNA

Offshore Produced Water Treatment


Treatment of Offshore Produced Water

Aromatic, Polyaromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons in groundwater can be found in lower concentrations dissolved in water diffused over the area or concentrated as DNAPLS (dense non-aqueous-phase liquids) or LNAPLS (light non-aqueous-phase liquids) creating an enduring source of contaminant supply to the water phase

MPPE benefits:

• Ideal for handling a broad range of compositions
• Able to cope with unexpected higher inlet compositions at no additional costs
• No iron removal necessary (anaerobic process)
• Robust, can withstand e.g. salts, humic acids, surfactants, heavy metals, dissolved/suspended solids, high/low pH etc.
• No sludge formation (as with iron removal and biotreatment)
• Scope for combination with other ground- and also waste water streams in one unit
• More than 15 years operational experience with Organon/Schering Plough/Merck Sharp & Dome, Akzo Nobel, Stadtwerke Flensburg, Solvay, LMBV SchwarzePumpe and LMBV Lauchhammer

DNAPL and LNAPL removal by solvent or Surfactant Enhanced Remediation (SEAR)

• Surfactant or alcohol injection enhances the dissolution of chlorinated hydrocarbons, PAHs, DNAPLS  and LNAPLS in water  from a few ppm to 10,000 – 50,000 ppm
• Organics recovered in two weeks equaled eight years of normal pump and treat
• The highly concentrated organics/surfactant/alcohol water mixtures are pumped to the surface
• MPPE is ideal to separate these extremely high concentrated hydrocarbons from the surfactant/alcohol water mixtures
• Surfactant/solvent consumption savings as MPPE enables recirculation and recovery
• MPPE applied in the USA Jacksonville (FL), TAMPA (FL) (both alcohol injection), Alameda (CA) and in Germany Schkopau, Leipzig, CastropRauxel (all surfactant injection).





Groundwater Remediation


Remediation of Groundwater

The majority of toxic hydrocarbons have non-polar and extractable properties. This is why MPPE-being an extraction based technology- is capable of removing just these specific compounds.

Gas/Oil Produced Water Treatment

• Produced water and especially Gas and LNG Produced Water contains high concentrations of toxic compounds like
- BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl BenzeneandXylene)
- PAH (Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons)
- Dispersed & dissolved Aliphatic compounds

All these compounds can be removed to below ppb level

• An increasing number of Authorities are incorporating the Zero Harmful Discharge Principle into their Discharge Regulations
• The Risk Based Approach and the Norwegian EIF are well known examples of models for legislation
• MPPE is able to remove the harmful content
• Even removal of Mercury being a highly toxic compound has been observed
• Offshore legislation allows discharge of non-harmful biodegradable compounds (alcohols, organics acids etc. expressed as TOC or COD) making direct discharge after MPPE treatment possible
• Onshore legislation for discharge into rivers, estuaries or nearshore locations often includes TOC or COD limits that require additional biological treatment. The Upstream MPPE ensures removal of non-biodegradable compounds and protects the biotreater from toxic compounds

Industrial Waste Water

• MPPE removes extractable and reusable compounds leaving treated non toxic  water for biotreatment or direct discharge
• Compounds that are harmful for the biotreater are removed by MPPE and recovered as practically pure organics in the smallest volume possible, readily available for reuse or destruction

Groundwater Remediation

• Groundwater remediation often requires reinjection of the treated groundwater
• Preferably the natural background composition of the groundwater should be conserved to improve the natural attenuation
• MPPE removes the toxic organic compounds leaving all other not harmless compounds untouched
• MPPE ensures a non-toxic discharge to the sewer system of surface waters


 MPPE is an ideal technology to remove DNAPL’s; (Dense Non Aquous Phase Liquids) and LNAPL’s (light NAPL) from groundwater with solvent or Surfactant Enhanced Aquifer Remediation (SEAR) concepts, i.e. organics removed in some weeks equaled 8 years of normal pump and treat.
