Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 2
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$75,000.00
Advanced Electro-flotation and Electro-chemical oxidation Pilot Treatment Platform for Increasing SAGD Produced Water Recycle and Reuse.
FY 2016-17
Summary
Cenovus Energy Inc. in collaboration with Silverwing Energy Corp. has approached SAIT to collaborate on a project to test and validate technologies based on electroflotation and electrochemical oxidation to remove scale forming minerals, soluble organics, hydrocarbons (HC's), suspensions and emulsions from produced water originally from various geologic formations that is used in their conventional and unconventional operations in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). An electroflotation pilot skid will be used to treat water from unconventional steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) with the objective of reusing the water and reducing environmental impact and operational costs. Successful completion of the project will provide valuable information for the scale-up of the technology and the optimal process conditions for hater recycling in SAGD boilers , providing Cenovus with relevant technology options that will impact innovation and support environmental responsibility regarding water resources.
