Water is an increasingly precious resource. Finding ways to optimize that cycle is a real challenge for both humans and industry. With an increasing population and increasing speed of industrialization, Wastewater treatment efficiency. of previous articlewe dealt with new Desalination and purification systemHowever, the industry has its own water needs and demands varying levels of purity.
Among various industrial sectors, Oil&Gas Top 8 industries with the highest demand for waterThis fact can be explained by the large amount of water required for the extraction and refining of crude oil. The result is an enormous volume of wastewater, requiring complex treatment as the number and types of contaminants vary by extraction technique and location.
water shortage Also, increasing environmental regulations are driving this sector to adopt innovative technologies for more efficient water management and other uses.
Integroil Project provide a new solution for water treatment We use different formulations aiming to increase water reuse by 50%. The oil and gas sector is the perfect environment for implementing this technology due to its complexity, but the solution is expected to cover the needs of other industrial sectors dealing with complex water.
Integrate different technologies to solve complex challenges
The complexity of the sector requires powerful, flexible and versatile technology.As such, INTEGROIL offers solutions for dissolved air flotation (DAF), filtration using ceramic and polymer membranes, advanced oxidation, and low environmental impact. These technologies are managed through a decision support system (DSS).which plays an important role in ensuring that the aforementioned technologies are properly integrated and operate accordingly. sustainability goalsThese goals include reducing energy and chemical consumption, improving water efficiency, or a combination of all.
In other words, the INTEGROIL platform is designed as an adaptive system ( treat waste water from different industries), flexible (manage different types of wastewater while meeting regulations), easy to use (DSS allows non-expert users to operate the system).
The project was started at 1st Currently, the design and construction stages of a demonstration plant that integrates various technologies have already been completed.
To that end, the water produced in the extraction of crude oil, Waste water from refining processThe results are key to adapting different individual technologies to operating conditions within the oil and gas sector.
Therefore, each technical partner involved in the project (ACCIONA, LIKUID, REP, BWA, URV y APLICAT) designs and manufactures individual modules adapted to the conditions of the oil and gas sector in order to realize a single solution. The we.
Integrated INTEGROIL Solution It offers 16 potential modes of operation, depending on the initial quality of the treated water and the desired quality of the resulting water. DSS proposes several settings related to input and output water quality, taking sustainability criteria into account. Various indications and parameters can be displayed to improve the decision-making process for optimizing plant operations.
The INTEGROIL integrated solution is currently being tested in an upstream scenario, a representative crude oil extraction context. It is then also tested in a TUPRAS-owned refinery that provides downstream conditions.
This project includes a detailed water cycle analysis (2.-0 LCA consultant) and communication to support the commercialization of results with a contribution from the European Desalination Society (EDS).
Funded by the H2020 (GA-688989) program, The technology behind the INTEGROIL project Promote sustainability in the most water-hungry industrial sectors by increasing the amount of reusable water.
