Oilfield Produced Water Compliance Discharge System
Product Overview
The Oilfield Produced Water Compliance Discharge System is a high-efficiency integrated solution independently developed by ZLN Technology Co., Ltd.—a National High-tech Enterprise with over 20 years of membrane separation and industrial wastewater treatment expertise. Tailored for the treatment of oilfield produced water generated during oil and gas extraction, this system addresses the core challenges posed by the wastewater's complex characteristics: high oil content (including dispersed, emulsified, and dissolved oil), high TDS (tens of thousands of mg/L), complex pollutants (suspended solids, hydrocarbons, phenols, sulfides, heavy metals), and variable water quality.
Traditional treatment methods struggle with emulsified oil separation and deep pollutant removal, often failing to meet discharge standards. This system adopts a multi-stage combined process of "pretreatment + deep purification + advanced polishing + optional desalination", integrating membrane separation technologies (ultrafiltration, ceramic membrane, reverse osmosis) with advanced oxidation and physical-chemical treatment. It efficiently removes oil, suspended solids, organic pollutants, and salts, ensuring the treated water fully meets national and local industrial wastewater discharge standards. Widely applied in oilfield development projects, the system also supports reusing treated water as oilfield injection water, achieving dual goals of environmental compliance and resource recycling.
Core Advantages
1. Efficient Oil and Impurity Removal
Adopts a multi-stage oil removal process: oil-water separators/air flotation machines remove 80-90% of free oil; ceramic membrane/ultrafiltration (MWCO 10-50 kDa) intercepts emulsified oil and colloids with an oil removal rate ≥99%, reducing oil content to below 5 mg/L. Suspended solids removal rate reaches ≥98%, effectively protecting subsequent deep treatment equipment.
2. Strong Adaptability to Complex Water Quality
Customizes process configurations for produced water with different characteristics (e.g., polymer flooding, surfactant flooding). Advanced oxidation technologies (ozonation, Fenton oxidation) degrade refractory organic pollutants, reducing COD by ≥80%; optional reverse osmosis (RO) or electrodialysis (ED) modules handle high-TDS water, ensuring stable compliance regardless of water quality fluctuations.
3. Resource Recycling & Cost Reduction
The treated water can be reused as oilfield injection water, reducing fresh water procurement costs by 40-60%. Recovers oil resources from wastewater, creating additional economic value; energy-saving membrane technologies and optimized process design reduce overall operating costs by 30% compared to traditional processes.
4. Corrosion-Resistant & Stable Operation
All wetted parts are made of corrosion-resistant materials (316L stainless steel, ceramic membranes, PVDF) to withstand high-salt, high-corrosive wastewater environments. Equipped with anti-fouling membrane modules and online CIP cleaning systems, extending membrane service life to 2-3 years and ensuring long-term stable operation with low failure rates.
5. Intelligent Control & Easy Operation
Features a PLC automatic control system and touchscreen interface, enabling real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of key parameters (oil content, COD, TDS, filtration pressure). Supports unattended operation, automatic backwashing, and abnormal alarm functions, minimizing manual intervention and ensuring consistent treatment effects.
Main Features
1. Multi-Stage Integrated Design:
Integrates pretreatment (oil-water separation, coagulation), deep purification (membrane filtration, advanced oxidation), advanced polishing (precision filtration, adsorption), and optional desalination into one system. Simplifies workflow, reduces floor space by 35% compared to traditional split equipment.
2. Advanced Membrane Application:
Uses ceramic membrane and ultrafiltration for deep oil and colloid removal; RO/ED for desalination, ensuring high separation efficiency and stable water quality.
3. Comprehensive Pollutant Removal:
Effectively removes oil, suspended solids, COD, sulfides, heavy metals, and other pollutants, meeting discharge standards (e.g., oil content ≤5 mg/L, COD ≤100 mg/L, SS ≤10 mg/L).
4. Complete Supporting Facilities:
Provides customized process combinations based on pollutant composition and discharge requirements—adds advanced oxidation for high-COD water, desalination modules for high-TDS water, and disinfection units for surface water discharge.
5. Turnkey Service Capability:
Offers one-stop services from on-site water quality testing, process design, equipment manufacturing, installation and commissioning to operator training and after-sales maintenance, ensuring rapid system startup and production.
