Effective selection and dosage of antiscalant chemistry and optimization of cleaning programs can lead to significant operating cost improvements within the facility.

​

Huge amounts of water are required to operate oil and gas plants, and the industry as a whole is very aware of this, and focused on reducing the amount of water that is consumed. In this industry, membranes have been used primarily for treating water as make-up to boiler and cooling systems. A number of projects recently have been installed to reuse water from various sources throughout the plant. Because of the increasing focus on reuse within oil and gas, water chemistry has become more complex, requiring better system design, operations control, and antiscalant and cleaner formulations.
