Preserving the world’s water supply remains as one of the world’s top environmental challenges. Minimizing waste is one of the principles behind any circular economy initiative. Failing to purify produced water or waste water before discharging it back into the environment has dire consequences.
Water treatment packages are essential for managing waste- and produced water streams. These packages typically include a variety of technologies to remove contaminants such as oil and solids from the water before it can be safely discharged or reused. FB Group lines-up with various process licensors to design, fabricate and supply these packages in accordance with the highest industry standards.
Why produced and waste water need treatment
Oil and gas production, industrial processing and many other activities generate large volumes of produced or waste water as a by-product. This water often carries dispersed oil, suspended solids and other contaminants that make it unsafe to release directly into rivers, seas or the surrounding environment. Treating this water before discharge protects marine and freshwater ecosystems, while treating it for reuse reduces the pressure on already scarce freshwater resources, supporting the wider goals of a circular economy.
What a water treatment package typically includes
A water treatment package is rarely a single piece of equipment. Depending on the water quality and the discharge or reuse target, a package can combine technologies such as compact flotation for separating oil and solids, hydro-cyclones for further clarification, and filtration stages that polish the water to its final specification. Selecting and sizing the right combination of technologies depends on the specific composition of the water stream and the standards the treated water needs to meet.
Working with process licensors on proven technology
Rather than developing every treatment technology from scratch, FB Group lines up with various process licensors to bring proven, industry standard technology into each package. This allows the design, fabrication and supply of water treatment packages that combine FB Group’s engineering and fabrication capabilities with licensed process technology suited to the specific contaminants and conditions of a given project, all delivered in accordance with the highest industry standards.
