UF technology treats oil rig water
U
ltrafiltration (UF) specialist inge GmbH has signed a deal with the UK’s VWS Westgarth to supply its UF technology to treat water on an oil rig. inge will deliver more than 600 dizzer UF modules, based on its patented Multibore membrane, for a 62 000 m3/day UF system. The treated seawater will be used in the oil extraction process on a drilling platform. The UF pretreatment stage will deliver fine filtered seawater (0.01 μm) to the sulphate removal package, which will then feed the water injection pumps. VWS Westgarth, a subsidiary of Veolia Water, is inge’s first customer from the oil production industry, which is a strategically important market for the German company.
