Frac Fluid Clean Up

Proper fluid and proppant placement are critical to a successful propped fracture stimulation treatment. Despite effective placement of the treatment, well performance is often detrimentally affected by incomplete gel breaking and fluid recovery.

Water-based polymer gels are used widely in the oil and gas industry to viscosify fluids used in the hydraulic fracturing of production wells, where they serve to increase the force applied to the rock and to improve the transport of proppants used to maintain the fracture after formation. After fracturing, the gel must be degraded to a low viscosity with enzymes or gel breakers.

Hydrocarbon Recovery Technology - HRT

HRT provides petroleum producers, refiners and gas processors dramatically improved solids control and hydrocarbon recovery from process water streams. Applications for HRT include: Produced Water Management, Oil Removal from Waste Water, and SRU Optimization.

Particle/Liquid - ProcessOR

The ProcessOR is a superior separator vessel often used for particle/liquid filtration or separation. It is available to be delivered as a self-contained skid (pictured) or a stand-alone vessel. It is also available custom sized as a capital sale or as a turn-key rental, which is often available within days of the received order.

Compax

Compared to conventional cartridge filters, COMPAX saves you money by lowering operating costs and reducing disposal costs. When comparing filters with the same efficiencies or Beta ratings, nothing outperforms the cost/performance value achieved with COMPAX.

APEX

The Apex element is specifically intended to keep annular velocities constant across the entire height of the element. This is accomplished by introducing a gentle taper in the element, so that the annular space on the outside of the element gradually increased from the bottom to top, keeping pace with the external fluid flow as it exited the element.
