The extraction of crude oil and natural gas produces wastewater that must be filtered before it can be reused or discharged. An important task in refineries is the treatment of so-called extraction water. This involves separating the crude oil contained in the reservoir water and then re-injecting the excess water as injection water for extraction.
Ceramic membranes are an ideal solution for wastewater treatment in oil fields.
Their porous structure enables precise separation of solids and emulsions, even at the extreme pH values and high temperatures often found in refineries. The long service life and reusability of the ceramic membranes make them a particularly sustainable solution, as they retain their full functionality after backwashing or cleaning.
With their robust, chemically resistant structure, they can cope with heavily contaminated, oily water even under extreme conditions such as high pH values and temperatures. Their durable and reusable nature makes them a sustainable choice that reduces maintenance and operating costs. They also ensure high efficiency in the removal of contaminants so that environmental and legal requirements are safely met.
