Treatment & Reuse
Mining and in situ recycling, treatment trains, steam water quality and residual streams.
Water recycling in in situ oil sands operations
Thermal in situ projects recover produced water, treat it and reuse much of it for steam generation.
Water recycling in oil sands mining
Mining operations recover large volumes of water from extraction and tailings systems for reuse.
Process-water treatment in oil sands operations
Treatment systems manage oil, solids, hardness, silica, dissolved salts and other constituents so water can be reused or handled appropriately.
Solid-liquid separation in oil sands water systems
Separating sand, silt, clay and oil from water is central to both extraction and tailings management.
Clarification and filtration roles
Clarification and filtration remove suspended material and protect downstream treatment equipment.
Membrane systems in oil sands water treatment
Membranes can be used for selected polishing or dissolved-constituent control applications.
Water quality for steam generation
Thermal in situ recovery needs treated water that can be converted to steam without excessive scaling, fouling or corrosion.
Produced-water treatment in SAGD systems
SAGD facilities separate water from produced fluids and treat that water for repeated reuse as steam.
Blowdown and treatment residuals
Repeated water reuse concentrates dissolved constituents, so some residual material must leave the recycle loop.
