Oil Water Separators: A Critical Requirement for LNG Projects

The Indispensable Role of Water Management in LNG

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects, from liquefaction plants to regasification terminals, are complex industrial operations at the forefront of global energy supply. While the primary focus is on natural gas processing, these facilities inevitably generate significant volumes of wastewater contaminated with various hydrocarbons, lubricants, and other process-related oils. This contamination can stem from equipment washdowns, maintenance activities, cooling tower blowdown, and stormwater runoff from operational areas.

The absence of robust wastewater management, particularly effective oil water separation, poses not only an environmental threat but also a significant financial and reputational risk to LNG operators.

Key Applications of OWS in LNG Facilities

Oil water separators (OWS) are highly engineered systems designed to efficiently remove free and dispersed non-emulsified hydrocarbons from water.

• Process Wastewater Treatment: Handling oily water generated directly from liquefaction, regasification, or utility operations.
• Stormwater Runoff Management: Treating rainwater that collects hydrocarbons from paved areas, tank farms, and equipment pads.
• Maintenance & Washdown Areas: Capturing and treating oily water from equipment cleaning, spills, and vehicle maintenance within the facility.
• Tank Farm Drainage: Separating oil from water collected in containment areas around storage tanks.
