Organized by APls Toxicity Reduction Evaluation

20、 (TRE) workgroup, the workshop brought together experts in the fields of toxicology and engineering to: 0 identify technologies that could potentially be used to reduce the toxicity of produced water (Pw) discharges; and o review and evaluate the technical feasibility and economics of using these tr

21、eatment technologies on offshore platforms. The first day of the workshop consisted of presentations on (I) the characteristics and toxicity of produced water, (2) results of tests to identify the causes of PW toxicity using Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) procedures, and (3) engineering co

22、nstraints impacting offshore produced water treatment. In addition, technical information was presented on five candidate treatment technologies: membrane filtration, carbon adsorption, chemical oxidation, stripping/extraction, and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The Day 1 presentations included the f

23、ollowing major points: Produced water is variable in composition and flow, but typically has high salinity (9% or greater) and high temperature (up to 14OOC) and contains a variety of compounds, including hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, carboxylic acids, phenols, heavy metals and radium. Ph

24、ase I TIE procedures have been applied to produced water to characterize the properties of the major fractions contributing to toxicity. This testing indicated that the causes of PW toxicity vary depending on the source. TIE procedures have identified a variety of components contributing to PW toxic

25、ity including: particulates, salinity; volatile compounds; extractable organics (acidic, basic, neutral); and compounds affected by pH adjustment. Some individual components were tentatively identified, including ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. The integrity of the sample is a concern when testing tre

26、atment technologies, because PW characteristics (reduced materials, high pressure, high temperature) may change when exposed to the atmosphere. ES-1 API DRa351 96 = 0732290 0553619 3T8 = o Offshore platforms, as sites for water treatment, have more stringent space, weight, and logistical limitations

27、 than onshore treatment facilities. o Each of the technologies being considered for treatment of produced water toxicity has been successfully applied to onshore treatment of industrial wastes, which are sometimes similar to produced water in composition. On the second day of the workshop, workgroup

28、s evaluated each candidate technology, including a sixth potential technology, biological treatment, identified on Day 1, The workgroup findings and recommendations were summarized in a discussion session at the end of Day 2. The Day 2 workgroups considered information provided on Day 1 during their

29、 evaluations of each technologys applicability for the offshore treatment of produced water. A technology checklist centered attention on the primary areas of interest, including the types of toxicants that might be removed, equipment specifications, operational status and potential for improvement,

30、 costs, and recommendations for research. Strengths of the technologies include their efficiency in removing potential produced water toxicants and, in some cases, the ability to handle variable feed streams. Weaknesses include the generation of waste streams that may require disposal, large size an

31、d weight requirements of the technologies, power requirements, and fouling and scaling potential. Treatment costs were compared primarily to the costs of reinjecting the produced water. Recommendations for additional research were summarized in a final discussion session on the second day of the Wor

32、kshop. Testing of the effect of emerging treatment technologies on PW toxicity was cited as a primary research need. A closer alignment between TIE procedures and treatability studies of the technologies was recommended. An approach was recommended for testing on several produced waters in the Gulf

33、of Mexico to develop case study information. The suggested approach involved adapting the TIE procedures to more closely approximate the treatment technologies, offshore pilot testing to confirm toxicity reduction, and final testing to develop design and operating criteria. In summary, the Workshop

34、reviewed technologies potentially capable of treating produced water toxicity in offshore applications. All of the technologies discussed have the potential to be used for produced water toxicity treatment; but, in all cases, further research and bench- and pilot-scale testing is necessary to invest

35、igate their effectiveness in this application. To date, none of the technologies have been specifically tested for their ability to reduce toxicity in produced water.
