Pentair Water Process TechnologyAnnounced the Selection of its X-Flow Ultrafiltration Membranes as Pretreatment for the Sulphate Removal Membranes Onboard aProduction
The Kraken field is situated east of the Shetland Islands and is one of the largest subsea heavy-oil field projects under development in the United Kingdom section of the North Sea.
The Kraken field will be developed with a production vessel from Bumi Armada ( top photo ), a Malaysia-based international offshore oilfield services provider that is a global player.
The FPSO-vessel is designed to process up to 460,000 barrels per day. Seawater injection is at a rate of a maximum of 275,000 bpd.
Lower life-cycle costs
Using the X-Flow UF membranes as the pretreatment solution rather than conventional pretreatment options, such as multimedia filtration followed by disposable cartridge filters, provides lower life-cycle costs, a smaller footprint and lower installed weight, and improved performance of the downstream Sulphate removal membranes.
Within the oil & gas industry, X-Flow membranes are used in applications like seawater injection, produced water re-injection, silica removal in boiler feed water for steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), low salinity water injection for oil recovery, re-use of oily waste water treatment on refineries and fresh potable water makers.
