Produced Water – Onshore
Since the rocks are highly porous, produced water to be injected must be free from oil, scaling salts, and solids to avoid plugging the formation rocks and maximize the residual life of an oil reservoir, which is strictly related to the size of the solids particles.
Cannon Artes’ state-of-the-art solution for treating produced water is based upon a sequence of stages defined according to the influent oil and solid content.
The first stage typically sees a de-oiling unit arranged on Coalescing Plates (CPI) or Tilted Plates (TPI) separators with a series of corrugated plate packs to enlarge oil droplets and settle solids within a limited footprint.
