The Aquatech Vertical Tube Falling Film (VTFF) evaporator technology will be used to treat and recover more than 95% of the OTSG (Once-Through Steam Generator) blowdown to supply as boiler feedwater make-up for JACOS’s heavy oil production facility.
The Hangingstone Project, which is located approximately 50 km southwest of Ft McMurray, is a joint venture between JACOS and CNOOC Ltd’s Nexen Energy ULC. The bitumen production capacity during the initial stage will be approximately 20 000 barrels per day.
“The Alberta Oil Sands is a very important market to Aquatech – one in which we have invested a great amount of attention and resources. We are now seeing tremendous momentum in the SAGD market by listening carefully to the industry, understanding our clients’ needs, and swiftly making adjustments to provide an optimal value proposition,” said Matt Sonnenberg, Aquatech’s regional sales manager, Western Canada.
