What is industrial wastewater treatment in Oil and Gas industry?
Flowback and generated water make up oil and gas wastewater.
The fluid that returns to the surface after drilling, well completion, or well stimulation procedures, such as hydraulic fracturing or acidizing, but before oil and gas is collected from the well, is known as flowback.
The formation fluid (i.e. existing fluids contained in the geologic formation) that comes to the surface during the production phase makes up the majority of produced water. Regardless of whether well stimulation, fracking, or other treatments are used, produced water is involved with all types of oil and gas production.
Both flowback and produced water are frequently contaminated with harmful compounds from fracking or other well treatments or injections, as well as naturally occurring contaminants such salts, heavy metals, toxic hydrocarbon-associated chemicals, and radioactive elements. As injected fluids mix with formation fluids, the amount of stimulation or fracking fluid that returns to the surface as Flowback, fluctuates and is generally unknown.
Technologies used in wastewater treatment in Oil and gas industry
Membrane Distillation
Membrane distillation (MD) has emerged as a promising treatment option for hyper saline and complex wastewaters generated during unconventional oil and gas (UOG) extraction.
MD is a combination of thermal-membrane desalination process in which water vapour is transported across a micro porous and hydrophobic membrane as a result of a partial vapour pressure differential between the heated feed water and the cold permeate stream.
MD can handle the high salinity of UOG wastewater. This beneficial feature is crucial for increasing water recovery and lowering brine volume in UOG wastewater treatment.
Reverse Osmosis and Ultrafiltration
During the ultrafiltration (UF) process, water is forced through a semipermeable membrane. Water and low-molecular-weight solutes pass through to the permeate side of the membrane, while suspended particles and high-molecular-weight solutes remain on the retentate side.
ZLD Technology
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) can help address these issues. The ZLD method removes wastewater discharge at the end of the treatment cycle, allowing the treated water to be collected and reused in a number of applications.
ZLD technology not only tackles the environmental problem of wastewater removal, but it also reduces the quantity of water that the oil and gas sector must take from other sources, such as rivers, lakes, or aquifers, in order to stay operational.
The strategy can help plants meet environmental stewardship goals while also enhancing public perception, reducing public concern about the plant's impact on the impacted water supply.
