Advanced Water Treatment for the Oil and Gas Industry
In the energy sector, water management is one of the most critical, highly regulated, and costly operational challenges. The importance of effective water treatment in the oil and gas industry is multifaceted. Effective water treatment will:
- Maximize your facility’s uptime
- Protect your facility’s expensive infrastructure
- Enable your facility to reuse water
At Besco Commercial, we engineer advanced commercial water treatment services designed to help refineries, extraction sites, and processing plants manage complex water streams and treat heavy produced water.
The Oil and Gas Industry’s Unique Water Challenges
From upstream Exploration and Production (E&P) to downstream refining and petrochemical processing, the volume of water required (and generated) by the oil and gas industry is staggering.
During upstream operations, crude oil and natural gas are extracted from deep underground hydrocarbon reservoirs. As these fossil fuels are pumped to the surface, they bring up massive volumes of naturally occurring formation water. This byproduct, known as “produced water,” is a heavy, highly saline brine heavily contaminated with volatile hydrocarbons, extreme total dissolved solids (TDS), trace heavy metals, and suspended solids.
The extreme heat and high-pressure environments inside an E&P facility or downstream refinery accelerate mineral precipitation and chemical degradation. This results in catastrophic mineral scaling, severe acid corrosion, and rapid biological fouling inside the facility’s own machinery.
Specific potential issues include blocked process piping, ruined heat exchangers, clogged filtration membranes, and the destruction of multi-million-dollar boiler systems. For sidestepping these issues, implementing highly engineered water treatment in the oil and gas industry is an absolute operational necessity.
Depending on your facility's specific needs, we utilize advanced technologies including:
-
Ultrafiltration (UF): -
Reverse Osmosis (RO):
Precision Water Testing & Analytical Profiling
In the energy sector, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. Feed-water chemistry drastically changes from well to well, and from refinery to refinery.
A successful, cost-effective treatment program must always start with precise analytics. Besco provides comprehensive, professional water testing to identify the exact mineral makeup, TDS levels, and hydrocarbon presence in your source or produced water. This data allows our engineers to custom-build the exact mechanical system your facility requires.
Maximizing Uptime: Commercial Service & Repair
In oil and gas operations, downtime is measured in thousands of dollars per minute. Your water infrastructure must operate continuously under extreme, high-pressure conditions.
To ensure your systems never fail when you need them most, Besco offers ongoing preventative maintenance, rapid-response troubleshooting, and comprehensive commercial water treatment service and repair.
Even if we didn’t originally install your current filtration, membrane, or softening equipment, our factory-trained technicians have the specialized expertise to optimize, repair, or upgrade your existing infrastructure.
