Water Clarifiers and Specialty Chemical Applications to Help Clear Water Impurities from Your Oil and Gas Production
Multi-Chem offers a series of water clarifiers, filtration aids and chelates designed to work under various production conditions, allowing you to safely and effectively clear your oil and gas production water.
Benefits
- Improve control of separation vessels
- Meet discharge requirements for produced water
- Improve injectivity of produced water
- Recover more sellable oil from produced fluids
- Leave clear water with minimal suspended oil or solids
Poor separation of fluids and/or inefficient retention time can lead to the presence of oil and solids in your produced water. These solids and oil can be dispersed throughout the water phase, resulting in a “milky” appearance, off spec oil and grease, solids in discharge or disposal water or can create the buildup of an emulsion pad in your separator vessel. When this occurs, the amount of impurities above the industry regulations must be reduced before any discharge, disposal or water reuse is allowed.
Multi-Chem’s line of water clarifiers and specialty chemicals are specifically developed to focus on the removal of such impurities, including reverse emulsion breakers to destabilize oil-in-water, as well as coagulants, flocculants, flotation aids and filter aids. Each chemical application is specifically made to fit the particular emulsifiers or dispersants and process units and conditions in the field.
To determine which water clarifier is best suited for an application, Multi-Chem’s chemical consultants can perform an extensive on-site evaluation of the system, including bench scale testing with fresh produced fluids and a customized water clarifying treatment best suited for your production.
