Saltwater disposal
Injection pumps and auxiliary systems
Get everything you need for your saltwater disposal facilities
Saltwater is a byproduct of oil and gas production. In fact, water cuts often exceed oil cuts in the production stream, especially as wells age and water-to-oil ratios increase. Producers typically dispose of the saltwater by injecting it back into deep, porous rock formations in a non-producing well. This process protects groundwater and surface water from contamination.
Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ designs, fabricates, commissions, and services equipment for saltwater disposal (SWD) facilities. From pump sizing to full designs, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ has extensive knowledge to engineer and manage SWD surface equipment projects that fully integrate into complete operational facilities.
- SWD injection skids for disposal wells in onshore basins
- Produced water transfer between tanks, vessels, and pipelines
- Truck-unload / offloading where operators require fast turnaround and solids protection
- Filtration trains to remove solids prior to injection and protect downstream equipment
- Get more uptime with complete, matched pump-and-control packages engineered for the application, reducing unplanned trips
- Lower maintenance burden with options like slow-speed auxiliary lube, packing lubrication, and correctly sized dampeners extend service life
- Mitigate solids with backwashable, cartridge, and bag filtration options limit solids carry-over to injection equipment
- Get operational visibility using variable speed drives (VSDs) to improve control and optimize your site
- Injection pump packages:
- Charge and transfer pumps: ANSI charge / transfer pumps in horizontal or vertical configurations; coupled / close-coupled; carbon or stainless materials; packing or cartridge seals.
- Truck-offloading systems: Centrifugal or gear pump options plus strainers / filters / hydrocyclones to keep solids out of the system.
- Filtration systems: Backwashable, bag, or cartridge filters; manual to automated operation depending on solids load and maintenance strategy.
- Controls and automation: Tank level, pressure, and flow controls; VSDs; soft starters; automatic bypass valves; gas detection (LEL) integration.
