30 Cubic Meter Fracturing Flowback Fluid Treatment System Was Successfully Shipped
Hydraulic fracturing is a common method used in oil and gas field development to increase production. Its purpose is to inject high-pressure fluid into underground oil and gas reservoirs to crack the rock layers, thereby increasing the flow channels of oil and gas and improving the production of oil and gas wells. The specific reasons include: Increase Production,Develop Low-Permeability Reservoirs and Extend Well Life.
Flowback fluid refers to the liquid that flows back out of the oil and gas well after the fracturing operation is completed. It mainly includes:
Fracturing Fluid: The high-pressure liquid injected into the ground during the fracturing process.
Formation Water: Water originally present in the underground formations.
Chemical Additives: Chemicals added to the fracturing fluid to enhance the fracturing effect.
Suspended Solids and Sediments: Solid particles brought up from the underground rock layers.
SEPARATE can produce fracturing flowback fluid treatment systems with capacities ranging from 10 cubic meters to 90 cubic meters per hour. Recently, a 30-cubic meter per hour enclosed fracturing flowback fluid treatment system was successfully shipped after 30 days of production.
The main reasons for treating flowback fluid are:
Environmental Protection: Flowback fluid may contain harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and oils, which can pollute soil and water sources if discharged directly.
Legal Regulations: Many countries and regions have strict regulations on industrial wastewater discharge, requiring treatment before discharge or reinjection.
Resource Recovery: Treated water can be reused in production, reducing water costs and resource waste.
Public Health: Preventing harmful substances from affecting the health of local residents.
The standards for treated flowback fluid mainly include the following aspects:
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): Reflects the total amount of organic pollutants in the water.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD): Reflects the biodegradable portion of organic pollutants in the water.
Suspended Solids (SS): Reflects the content of undissolved solid particles in the water.
Heavy Metal Content: Concentrations of metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.
PH Value: Reflects the acidity or alkalinity of the water.
Oil Content: Includes the concentration of oils and fats.
Specific standards may vary by country and region, but the overall goal is to ensure that the treated water meets environmental and health safety requirements.
Why Enclose the System?
"Enclosing the system" refers to providing a dedicated house or shell for the flowback fluid treatment system. The reasons for doing so include:
Protect Equipment: Prevent environmental factors (such as wind, sand, rain, extreme temperatures, etc.) from affecting the equipment, thereby extending its service life.
Safety: Isolate the operational area to prevent external personnel from accessing high-risk equipment and reduce the occurrence of accidents.
Operational Convenience: Provide a suitable environment for operation and maintenance, improving work efficiency and operator comfort.
Noise Reduction: Reduce the impact of equipment operation noise on the surrounding environment and personnel.
Environmental Compliance: Help control and treat emissions (gases, wastewater, etc.) generated during system operation, ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
The system will be customized according to the customer's site environment, and the decision to enclose the system will be made after evaluation. For more information, pls conatct sales@craunseparate.com.
