Mobile Water and Wastewater Treatment Solutions for the Downstream Oil and Gas Industry
In the oil and gas industry, process and wastewater treatment are critical components of operations. Temporary mobile water and wastewater treatment services provide an optimal solution for diverse process stages within industrial oil and gas plants. They ensure a reliable and secure source of treated water 24/7, 365 days a year. Discover how mobile water solutions can optimise your oil and gas operations – contact us today for more information.
Diverse Water Needs in Oil and Gas Operations
Water flow rates and required quality in the oil and gas industry vary considerably, depending on specific operations such as Exploration and Drilling, Fracking, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), and Refining and Processing. Each of these processes places unique demands on oil and gas water treatment systems. Water consumption also varies significantly, reflecting the complexity and scale of each process. Flow rates can range from hundreds to thousands of cubic meters per hour (m³/h) per well, highlighting the industry’s substantial water demand.
Prioritizing Water Quality
Amidst varying water consumption rates, water quality stands as a paramount consideration. Water requirements differ based on specific applications. Beyond extraction, refining, and processing stages necessitate distinct water specifications. For instance, in refining, water is crucial for cooling, steam generation, and various chemical reactions.
Effective wastewater treatment in the oil and gas industry facilitates optimal resource management and ensures compliance with environmental regulations.
Advantages of Mobile Water Solutions in the oil and gas industry
Replacing or supplementing fixed water treatment with mobile solutions brings efficient and sustainable water management to the Oil and gas industry. It reduces fixed costs, fitting operational budgets (Opex), and eliminating capital expenditure (Capex). Plus, mobile systems offer flexibility by swiftly deploying to various sites as operational needs change—essential in the dynamic Oil and gas sector.

Oil and Gas Applications
The oil and gas industry relies on water treatment for various processes, including drilling, production, refining, and more. Wastewater treatment in the oil and gas industry is particularly crucial, as the processes generate wastewater that often contains hydrocarbons, salts, and other contaminants. Technologies such as Reverse Osmosis, Filtration, Desalting, Clarification, Activated Carbon Treatment, Dissolved Gas Removal, and pH Adjustment are all essential to ensure water quality, minimise environmental impact, and optimise operational efficiency.
- Boiler make-up water for steam generation
- Process water
- Condensate polishing
- Post or pre-treatment of your existing plant
- Additional treated water for commissioning or projects
- Temporary service for refurbishment or maintenance
- Failure of the water treatment plant
- Severe weather conditions
In the oil and gas industry, wastewater from processes undergo various treatment steps. Primary, Secondary (Biological), and Tertiary treatments are employed. Technologies like DAF, Disc Filtration, Reverse Osmosis, Membrane Filtration, and more are also applied. These processes and technologies collectively meet regulatory standards and reduce environmental impact.
