Grant: Applied Research Tools and Instruments Grants
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$147,910.00
Equipment for Chemical Analysis of Formation Water
FY 2013-14
Summary
SAIT Polytechnic is requesting support from the NSERC Applied Research Tools and Instruments grant program for the purchase of a collection of equipment for conducting chemical analysis of formation water. Formation water, also called produced water, is mainly salty water trapped in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir and sub-surface environments. It is brought up to the surface along with oil or gas during energy production. The formation water can contain complex mixtures of proppants (additives in formation water), oil, hydrogen sulphide, compounds of iron, nitrogen and phosphorous, silica, scale and corrosion inhibitors, microbes, metals and salts, which need to be analyzed before and after treatment for either reuse or disposal.The specific collection of equipment proposed will add incremental capacity to existing equipment already in place, and fulfills a critical need in the Applied Research and Innovation Services facilities at SAIT Polytechnic. It will enhance current and future projects with many industry partners.
