THE PROJECT

Water is vital for the operation of many industrial processes,including the Oil&Gas industry.This sector requires high volumes of water in oil extraction and refining, thus generating large amounts of wastewater.

Since water is a finite resource, technologies associated with the reuse of industrial wastewater enable turning low quality wastewater into high quality process water.

Goal

The main goal of INTEGROIL is to develop and demonstrate a robust but flexible integrated solution for treating water flows with variable compositions up to be reused.

Technology

This new solution will be comprised by innovative treatment technologies effectively operated and optimized through a novel Decision Support System (DSS) which can generate water of enough quality to be reused, increasing the overall sustainability of the O&G sector.

Security

The DSS will allow the system to be operated with minimal process understanding and also ensuring the safety of the operational staff at the extraction and refining sites.

Integroil Activities

INTEGROIL project includes demonstration activities at two real scenarios with a long term application (24 months). To this end, one demonstration plant including the set of technologies mentioned will be designed and built in the framework of Work Package 4.

Plant Capacity

The plant will have a capacity that is representative of full-scale facilities and will adjust automatically to conditions in the feed water in terms of operational parameters and process configuration at any given time.

Configuration

The configuration and operational parameters will be optimized through the Decision Support System in order to achieve the objectives of low energy consumption, low chemical consumption and high water efficiency.
