An Oil & Gas company with offshore production operations in the Gulf of Mexico needed high purity water for Gas Turbine injection to reduce emissions.
Required treated water quality: 10 - 12 megohm
Feed water: Gulf of Mexico seawater
Space constraints dictate special equipment arrangement.
System must be fully automated, yet highly reliable
Solution
MECO provided a multi-skid design to suit available space configuration
Process included single-pass seawater RO, followed by 2-pass brackish RO, then mixed-bed ion exchange.
Treated water quality is 16-18 megohm, which exceeds requirement.
MECO engineers conducted several design review with the client to ensure all requirements are met.
MECO engineers and field service personnel provided commissioning assistance and operator training.
In addition to improving the environment by reducing emissions, the injection process resulted in increasing turbine power output by approximately 10%.
