Reuse more water than ever before
Uncontrolled bacteria can cause problems in the oilfield, including reservoir souring, microbially induced corrosion (MIC), and formation plugging. Disinfecting surface water before hydraulic fracturing ensures a healthy well.
Oilfield waters treated with ClorTec sodium hypochlorite generators see bacteria populations reductions of 99.999% or more, ensuring decontaminated water, wells, and equipment.
Due to cost pressures from ever increasing volumes of produced water, scarce freshwater resources, and more stringent environmental regulations, oilfield operators are actively looking for ways to better manage their produced water resources.
De Nora’s containerized ClorTec® electrochlorination systems can help meeting produced water treatment challenges. Sodium hypochlorite can not only eliminate hydrogen sulfide, but it can also oxidize naturally occurring iron, which helps in the removal of both iron itself as well as total suspended solids from the water.
Oxidative treatment, coupled with settling tanks and filtration, can be used to produce a clean frac-ready brine that is also free of bacteria. Treated produced water is also readily used in injection wells for enhanced oil recovery or salt water disposal.
De Nora's ClorTec® electrochlorination systems generate and deliver sodium hypochlorite at any point in the upstream and midstream water utilization cycle in various oilfield applications. As the safest and lowest cost oilfield water disinfection option on the market, the ClorTec system:
The on-site generation of chlorine-based chemistries provides a safe, economical and effective solution for the treatment of water. Using only salt, water and electricity, ClorTec systems generate a powerful and highly effective oxidant on-site, where you need it, when you need it, eliminating the transportation of hazardous chemicals.
With nearly 100 years of electrochemistry experience and anodic coating development, De Nora introduces its latest innovation – a truly self-cleaning SWEC cell.
SEACLOR® seawater electrochlorination systems are the preferred solution for biofouling control in power plants, cooling towers, LNG terminals and desalination facilities. SEACLOR® systems use a simple and straightforward process, combining two common consumables – seawater and electricity.
De Nora Neptune Mobile Treatment Units (MTUs) are today's safest and most effective oilfield treatment solutions. Using ClorTec® technology, the MTUs generate an 0.8% sodium hypochlorite solution – bleach - as a biocide, removing H2S and oxidizing iron from frac water. The system produces the oxidant with less expense than any alternative.
