The CTour process uses ProSep’s proprietary injection and mixing technology to inject a condensate of light hydrocarbons, directly into the produced water stream.
Installed upstream a hydrocyclone or gas flotation unit, it can yield produced water discharges containing less than 3 ppm total petroleum hydrocarbons and removes 90–95% of dangerous dissolved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons components.
The CTour has been field tested and installed on 25 offshore platforms in the North Sea and now treats almost 2mbpd of produced water.
