The oil and gas industry is taking a renewed approach to tackling its water management challenges. Produced water streams must often be treated prior to disposal, reinjection, or reuse. These streams are generally high in salt content, and typically, have required large filter systems comprised of exotic metals (viz., super duplex stainless steel). The capital and operating costs associated with most conventional treatment systems can be very high.


HRT® affords proven solids controls and hydrocarbon recovery performance while eliminating the need for expensive excess processing, chemical additives, and storage tank capacity. With hydrocarbon recovery efficiencies of 99.98%, HRT® produces a sellable product, balancing or even outweighing operating costs and capital investment.

Clients using HRT® on produced water systems have experienced operational, environmental and economic benefits, including:

• Operational flexibility
• Reduction of lost energy
• Savings on chemical additives
• Lower maintenance costs associated with fouling
• Elimination of excursions

Why is HRT® better than conventional solutions?

Most produced water systems experience either periodic or continuous hydrocarbon and/or solids upsets, leading to:

• diminished capacity
• loss of valuable product
• damage to disposal wells and other equipment
• harm to producing formations
• and in extreme cases, shut down due to environmental emissions.
