Produced water treatment
Enabling oil and gas producers to enhance unit operations and clean produced water for disposal or injection
Sustainable management of industry water streams from start to finish
Efficient and effective water treatment is the cornerstone of a water management process that meets regulatory guidelines and HSE requirements and helps manage long-term water-related capex and opex. Our water treatment and management solutions range from bulk oil removal to polishing for reinjection. A broad portfolio of industry-leading technologies and engineers with global experience enable us to design customized water treatment systems that deliver reliable performance throughout the life of your project.
Oil Removal
Produced water treatment systems that enable reuse, discharge, or water disposal.
Enabling reuse, discharge, or disposal of produced water
The US alone generates billions of barrels of produced water annually, making this water the oil and gas industry’s most abundant by-product. Before it can be used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), placed in a disposal well, or discharged offshore, produced water's entrained oil and suspended solids content must be reduced to a level that meets HSE regulations, protects formation rheology, and limits equipment corrosion.

Rendering seawater suitable for use in hydrocarbon production
Oil and gas facilities use seawater for a variety of applications, including EOR, equipment cooling, fire suppression, potable water generation, and desalter operations. Prior to its use, seawater must be suitably treated for biofoulants, dissolved oxygen, and suspended or dissolved solids.
