Offshore produced water regulations are becoming more and more stringent. New technologies are required for this challenging segment in order to meet future emission standards that are being set by international organizations, for example, OSPAR for the Northeast Atlantic.
MPPE Systems proven in removal of dissolved and dispersed:
- Aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX)
- Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
- NPD (naphtalenes, phenanthrenes, dibenzothiophenes)
- Aliphatics
- Hydrophobic components in oil field chemicals (e.g. inhibitors)
Zero Harmful Discharge:
-
MPPE reduces the Environmental Impact Factor (EIF) with 95-99% (EIF=management tool of Norwegian Industry for produced water)
-
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:
- Verified by Orkney Water Technology Center on water produced with oil and gas
- MPPE selected as best option from among 55 technologies (Government and Oil & Gas Industry Study)
- MPPE listed by OSPAR* as Best Available Technology (BAT)
- Experiences published with customers on conferences:
- Total; SPE
- Shell/ Exxon; OTC
- StatoilHydro; NEL/TUV
-
Over 25 years accumulated experience in commercial units TOTAL, NAM (Shell/Exxon), StatoilHydro/Shell, Woodside
