DISORB
DISORB Separators use highly Oleophobic media which effectively helps oil coalesce
in the interstitial spaces and traps the TSS along with it. The systems works without
getting choked. Heavier the oil, higher the Oil and TSS removal. DiSorb media has
the UNIQUE capacity to handle
1-300 ppm of Oil and TSS : > 99% removal of both Oil and TSS.
300-700 ppm of Oil and TSS : 99% removal of both Oil and TSS.
700-3000 ppm of Oil and TSS : Intermittent loads can be easily handled with a
relatively shorter filtration cycle.
During upset situations when Oil levels can significantly go up, it has no negative
effect on the media, except for a very quick backwash step initiated. The principle of
operation is almost like a Dual Media Filter. We can easily do retrofit with minimum
structural changes and convert your existing Nutshell Filter into a DISORB Oil
Removal Separator.
Easy replacement of existing Nutshell Filter (“NSF”) media with our DiSorb media
with minimal modifications.
In a typical Produced water site the IGF/ISF step are by passed, saving significant
energy, time and operation costs. Additionally :
No gas line required.
No chemical dosing required ; saves operation costs.
No ancillary equipment required like tanks, sludge thickeners ; Saves energy and
maintenance costs.
No scrubbing required. Due to the inherent oleophobic nature of the media, Oil
and TSS is easily displaced during a regular backwash.
Example: In an NSF with a feed of 35-40ppm of OIL and TSS of 30 ppm needs to be backwashed once in
24 hours for 30 mins,
Under same conditions a DiSorb Separator will backwash once in 6-10 days for 20 minutes due to its
extremely high oil retention capacity of 130-160 lit/m3 of media and oleophobic nature.
This results in savings of water, much higher Oil and TSS removal of less than 1 ppm of TSS and Oil ; higher
online availability.
Process Features
The DiSorb media will efficiently recover water and oil from oily waste waters by
removing the TSS.
Dramatically reduce OpEx and CapEx by replacing current Oil and TSS removal
technologies by a just ONE change - switch your existing media to DiSorb !
Capitalize on the savings by potentially eliminating at least 2 unit operations by
simply replacing the existing oil removal filter media with DiSorb and significantly
increase operating efficiencies and savings.
Achieve the finest filtration by minimizing lifecycle costs without compromising on
the outlet quality.
Target Areas for DiSorb applications:
Upstream Water Filtration – Frac water, Produced Water Downstream Water
Filtration – Waste, Process Water Tailings Ponds
Midstream – Oil transportation and storage tank cleaning, Oil Recycling Soil
Remediation – Oil removal
ADVANTAGES
No scrubbing of media required, the oleophobic nature of the media will easily
release all the trapped oil and TSS.
Very low attrition rates of less than 1% per year, resulting in the long life of the
media. Being a relatively new technology,it has been operating continuously
treating produced water with consistent results for over 2 years at a customer
site.
Unlike Nutshell media, the DiSorb media is neutral to coagulants and can be
very effectively used upstream when unusually high TSS is expected on a
continuous basis.
Unlike Nutshell media, no 24 hour preparation, no pre-soak, just a standard
backwash to remove fines before startup saving time and costs.
Unlike other media, DiSorb media is neutral to high concentrations of sulphur, up
to 16% of dissolved sulphur has been tested successfully.
DiSorb is neutral to surfactants, tested to a maximum of 10ppm of surfactants. In
fact a small amount of surfactants will also be removed during the filtration
cycle.
DiSorb is neutral to all kinds of hydrocarbons, polymers, bitumen, asphaltenes,
paraffins, wax.
