White Paper on Instrumentation for Produced Water
Apr 18 2013
Endress+Hauser (USA) have released a white paper, “Instrumentation for Produced Water Applications.”
Produced water refers to any water brought up to the surface during oil and gas production, typically as the result of drilling, exploration and hydraulic fracturing. Before disposing or reusing the water, it must be treated to extract hydrocarbons and satisfy environmental code regulations.
Cleaning produced water costs 300 times more than cleaning municipal waste water and 3,000 times more than cleaning irrigation water. Since each water treatment system can vary based on the water quality and the environmental regulations for its reuse, there is no universal treatment process. Nevertheless, basic requirements must be met when dealing with produced water.
It is important for companies to understand these factors so that oil and gas production can be maximised while containing costs and complying with regulations.
This non-commercial white paper from Endress+Hauser explains where produced water comes from, how it is treated, and the instrumentation needed at every stage of the process.
