ABOUT THE PROJECT
PROJECT CHALLENGES
A major on-shore gas plant in North
Africa has a major filtration system for
the filtration of the produced water
prior to injecting down the well.
In an effort to reduce operational costs, Amazon Filters developed an alternative
all 316L stainless steel construction cartridge in the large bore high flow format
already being used.
The operator has been using
polypropylene filters and experiencing
excellent retention of contaminants,
but the nature of the oil in the water led
to frequent and premature plugging of
the cartridges.
This design enables the filters to undergo a vigorous cleaning process. The new
filters were tested on-site and the results exceeded the operator’s expectations.
The rugged yet sophisticated design ensured the filter was able to handle the
process and handling rigours of an oilfield environment, while still offering precise
and repeatable filtration performance. The new system also reduced the levels of
waste that needed disposing by the site.
The challenging application was typical of those that Amazon Filters excels at.
Both the composition of the feed water and the protection requirements to
prevent well fouling had evolved over the life time of the field, demanding a
responsive partner able to offer expert advice, and bespoke filtration media to
address the changing requirements.
Amazon Filters Ltd is able to offer a range of standard and bespoke metal filters in
316L stainless steel and in a range of alloy media. We are also able to offer advice
on both in-situ filtration system cleaning (CIP) and options for deeper cleans
outside of the process housing. Where necessary we can also advise on access to
contract cleaning and inspection / repair services.
