Patent

CA 2751895

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing waste water generated during oilfield drilling operations with a mobile processing unit utilizing heat energy sourced from burning hydrocarbon fuel directly and/or capturing and using the exhaust heat energy generated by burning hydrocarbons in engines such as diesel engines in order to vaporize a dominant mass of the aqueous phase of the waste water while clarifying the heat source combustion gasses. The water vapor generated by the vaporization process may be discharged directly to the atmosphere or alternately condensed and captured for use as potable water. The residual waste water is thereby concentrated and the cost to dispose of the waste water is greatly reduced.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de traitement des eaux usées générées lors d'opérations de forage sur champ pétrolier, au moyen d'une unité mobile de traitement utilisant de l'énergie thermique provenant de la combustion directe de combustible hydrocarboné et/ou de la capture et de l'utilisation de l'énergie thermique d'échappement générée par la combustion d'hydrocarbure dans des moteurs tels que des moteurs Diesel, afin de vaporiser une masse dominante de la phase aqueuse des eaux usées, tout en purifiant les gaz de combustion de la source thermique. La vapeur d'eau générée par le processus de vaporisation peut être directement déversée dans l'atmosphère ou différemment condensée et capturée pour être utilisée en tant qu'eau potable. On concentre ainsi les eaux usées résiduelles et on réduit considérablement le coût de mise au rebut des eaux usées.
