We are your full-service provider for mechanically induced gas flotation, nutshell filters and gravity separation equipment and service. The latest technology in media filtration and are unequalled in removing suspended solids and hydrocarbons from produced oilfield water and refinery wastewater. They are effective for the treatment of oily residue, ash and metallic hydroxides from industrial liquids generated by chemical or petrochemical industries. Such possible applications may include:
- Nut shell media filters
- Suspended solids and hydrocarbons filter
- Mechanically induced gas flotation units
- Solvent extractors and media filters
Rotary filter membrane systems
The company's rotating metal membrane filtration technology is uniquely suited for high levels of solids, viscosity and operating temperatures. The system concentrates suspended solids with high-viscosity to 60% solids levels without fouling.
It outperforms standard membrane systems in fractionation / concentration at a lower cost. With heightened environmental awareness about contaminated water from industrial pollutants, companies now look to membrane filtration solutions for discharge, recycle and recovery problems.
Coalescers and dual-media filters
This system provides an economic and effective process for coalescing entrained organic matter, improving the performance of existing or subsequent dual media filters, and provides a standalone solution on raffinate streams.
As pre-treatment, the dual-media filters offer:
- Improved final effluent quality
- Reduced backwash frequency
- Easily recoverable organic, not reprocess, backwash electrolyte or water
Advanced Produced Water Treatment and Amine Purification
We designs and manufactures a range of advanced filtration and ion exchange systems used for water treatment and amine purification. They incorporate a layer of fine, dense granular media (micro media) designed for filtration of produced water or aquifer, surface or sea water where high filtrate quality is required. This advanced feature provides the filter with the ability to remove solid particles and oil droplets down to one micron in size.
Spectrum filters are entirely automated, and use virtually permanent backwashable granular media. They operate at a higher flux rate than more conventional nutshell filters, which makes it possible to treat higher flows with fewer and smaller vessels while achieving excellent filtrate quality.
Ion exchange softeners
Ion exchangers incorporate a combination of advanced ion exchange features such as fine resin particles, packed resin beds and short operating cycles. This has allowed them to treat produced water (or aquifer water) that contains high TDS (up to 20,000mg/l) and high hardness (up to 4,000mg/l) to produce very low hardness water, which can be fed into once through steam generators (OTSGs) for production of steam used in thermal production of heavy oil in steam flooding, CSS or SAGD.
Ion exchange softeners is proven with ten systems supplied to heavy oil production areas of California. The most common configuration is an integrated ion exchange softener consisting of strong acid cation (SAC) and weak acid cation (WAC) resin beds, which are both regenerated with salt brine. This eliminates the need for acid and caustic regeneration of WAC resin systems while enabling the user to achieve very low hardness (less than 0.2mg/l).
Amine purification systems
A compact, skid-mounted ion exchange system designed for continuous removal of heat stable salt (HSS) from amine circuits.
Amine circuits are used for the removal of sulfur (hydrogen sulfide) and carbon dioxide from fuels and gas streams in oil refineries and gas processing plants. The major operational challenges in amine circuits include poor performance due to foaming in absorber towers, equipment corrosion and fouling, and high filter maintenance.
