Knowing the Water Refinement and Reclamation Process

There are a lot of steps in the water refinement process and although it might look like one would demand a physics degree to understand, this guide should aid to simplify the whole process of water refinement.

The 1st step in water purification includes the water being transported to and getting unloaded at the facility. All incoming loads of water are tested for Chloride (NaCl) and percentage of solids before unloading is allowed. Once all tests are completed, the water can then be separated for distribution within the plant. Not all fluids will be sent to the same place. Fluids containing high solid levels are sent directly to the dewater process, as all other fluids are sent to the inlet pits for commingling.

The water is then moved into the mix tanks, that are created to enable for the commingling and circulation, via means of pneumatic and/or propelled agitation, of all incoming fluids as wells as the natural separation of heavy solids (fallout) and oil (precipitation). The tanks are separated into a high-solids and low-solids system made to control all incoming fluids at the techniques entrance.

The 3rd stage in the process incorporates going via a multi-stage tank battery system and de-watering. Initial, the fluids traverse via the tank battery system called the gun barrel, that is a chambered storage vessel with an adjustable skimming plate built to capture oil as it separates from the fluids. All oil captured is sent to the "crude oil sales" tank and remaining effluent fluids from the gun barrel are sent to the 2nd stage of storage, 2 large holding tanks that enable for sufficient system volume capacities. That second stage is called de-watering, that is where all the heavy solids captured in the system transfer to, and introduced to heavy molecular weight polymers and co-polymers.

Any fluid leftover after stage 3 of the operation are sent to the solid separator units where a series of improvements also as injections are made and the remaining effluent fluids of the solids separation units are subjected to a number of excellent  control tests previous to clearance to the next stage of the procedure is allowed. Any levels indicated above working standards will require instant re-processing.

The fifth and final stage called micron and multi-media filtration involves all fluids from stage four are sent through a series micron and multi-media filtration units in respective order given that the fluid passed all requirements.
