THE SOLUTION
An ideal wash water treatment system should clean the water according to environmental laws, with no operator interaction, minimal maintenance service
requirements and low operating costs. The AutoPure ? technology is Devin Systems' solution to the problem. AutoPure ? cleans the water through chemical precipitation by the addition of two
treatment chemicals and a polymer via a recipe under the control of a computer. No filters are used, therefore achieving minimal service and maintenance costs.
Caustic contamination results in a high pH water that is not acceptable for discharge under environmental laws. Additionally, high pH water is hazardous to personnel. The standard "filter-type" wastewater treatment systems do not correct for pH and are not ideally suited for this application.
Equipment and tools that are used in drilling, production and completion operations need to be cleaned upon return to the plant. After washing the equipment and tools, the dirty water becomes contaminated. The contaminates may include: oil, grease, pipe dope, drilling fluids, metals, (e.g., iron, copper, lead, chromium, barium, zinc, etc.), and sometimes caustic fluids.
