Ecologix DAF for Oil & Gas Wastewater Treatment - Produced Water, Refinery, Fracking

What is Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)?

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a proven water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters by removing suspended matter such as oil, grease, and solids. The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank. The released air forms tiny bubbles that adhere to the suspended matter, causing the matter to float to the surface where it is skimmed off and removed.

This process is particularly effective for separating low-density particles and emulsified oils that are difficult to settle, making it ideal for the oil and gas industry.

Why Choose Ecologix DAF for Oil & Gas?

Ecologix DAF systems are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of oil and gas wastewater treatment, offering numerous advantages:

• High Efficiency: Superior removal of oils, greases, suspended solids, and certain heavy metals.
• Reduced Footprint: Compact design requiring less space compared to traditional treatment methods.
• Lower Sludge Volume: Produces a more concentrated sludge, leading to reduced disposal costs.
• Rapid Treatment: Faster processing times, enhancing throughput and operational flexibility.
• Robust Construction: Built with durable materials to withstand harsh industrial environments.
• Cost-Effective Operation: Optimized energy consumption and reduced chemical usage.
• Regulatory Compliance: Helps facilities meet stringent discharge limits and environmental regulations.

Our systems are designed for reliability and ease of operation, ensuring consistent performance.

Key Applications of Ecologix DAF in Oil & Gas

Produced Water DAF

Produced water is the largest waste stream in the oil and gas industry, often containing emulsified oils, suspended solids, and dissolved organic matter. Ecologix DAF systems are highly effective in treating produced water, facilitating its reuse or safe discharge.

DAF for Refinery Wastewater

Refineries generate complex wastewater streams with significant oil, grease, and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Our DAF units provide primary and secondary treatment, significantly reducing pollutant loads before further processing or discharge, helping refineries meet strict environmental standards.

DAF for Fracking Water Treatment

Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) operations produce large volumes of flowback and produced water laden with proppants, hydrocarbons, and dissolved solids. Ecologix DAF technology is crucial for pre-treatment, enabling efficient removal of contaminants and paving the way for water recycling and reduced freshwater demand.
