OPTIMISING PERFORMANCE

water management in oil and gas industry

EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY LEADERS

Oil and gas operators accept that wastewater in upstream, midstream and downstream production processes is inevitable and that effective water management in the oil and gas industry is vital in controlling costs and maximising profitability.

Minetek Water has developed the most cost-effective water evaporation system in the world with the ability to efficiently manage produced water, which is usually high in Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) including salt, grease and other compounds.

Our modular land-based and water-based mechanical evaporation solutions provide an economical alternative to traditional high disposal costs in water management in the oil and gas industry, reducing the need for storage and transport costs, all while helping operators meet strict compliance and regulatory requirements.

Our Capabilities

Produced Water Disposal

Minetek Water offer a full range of solutions for mining including mine dewatering, tailings water recovery, acid mine drainage as well as a complete Environmental Management Solution (EMS) for automated and integrated control. We are global leaders in the development of legacy site management & mine closure programmes enabling operators to effectively remediate mining environments past their operating lives.

Minetek Water enables Oil & Gas operators to reduce costs and effectively manage produced water with high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) via our modular land-based and water-based mechanical evaporation solutions.

Salt Water Disposal

Brine is formed in the mining process when brackish groundwater comes into contact with either surface water or sea water. The result is a highly saline by-product which cannot be released back into the environment due to high levels of contaminants and Total Dissolvable Solids (TDS).

Our evaporators are still performing flawlessly and working absolutely great. They have been running 24/7 without a single hiccup. Thanks again!”

The relatively small fans allowed us to utilise our existing bulkhead, where we were severely limited by space, which allowed us to use our existing infrastructure and dramatically reduce downtime in the mine during the change out. The installation was completed safely... and allows us to scale our ventilation flow with their pressure on demand system to suit our production profile.

It was completed with no incidents or injuries, with no delays, and ahead of schedule. The plan was for 10 shifts, and it was completed in 7 shifts.

I have used these evaporators very successfully at mine sites where I have worked in the past. They are an extremely reliable unit and worked above expectations in the environment where we had them set up. As for spray drift/mist this can be controlled by the weather monitoring systems that are available with the units. Additionally, how you set them up and the amount of fall you can achieve allows for more moisture to be stripped from the droplets]will greatly benefit your overall evaporation rates.

Rolleston Coal Operations Manager

After investigating a raft of different methods from sprinkler systems through to desalination systems (too costly for little benefit) we decided on the MINETEK WATER units. The evaporators were easy to install and once activated ran trouble free. We were very happy with the service from MINETEK and the reliability of the system.
