In the ever-evolving landscape of oil and gas production, the management of produced water remains one of the industry’s most significant challenges. As the industry continues to seek sustainable solutions, innovative chemical treatments play a crucial role in managing and optimizing water quality.  At SMC Oilfield, we are dedicated to delivering advanced chemical solutions for produced water treatment, backed by extensive technical support.  Our goal is to offer our clients effective, reliable solutions while minimizing costs and maximizing efficiency.

Why Produced Water Treatment Matters

Produced water, a byproduct of oil and gas extraction, primarily consists of a mixture of water, hydrocarbons, salts, and other contaminants. Managing produced water treatment and reuse is essential for reducing environmental impact, while improving operational efficiencies and cost-effectiveness. Proper treatment of produced water helps oil and gas companies reduce the need for incorporating fresh water into their operations and reduce costs associated with water handling, often eliminating the need for disposal of produced water through injection wells.  By optimizing the treatment process, operators can reuse treated water in production, thereby lowering water sourcing costs and improving sustainability.

At SMC Oilfield, we offer a comprehensive range of chemical solutions designed specifically to enhance produced water treatment for the oil and gas industry. Our portfolio includes advanced coagulants and flocculants, each tailored to maximize water clarity, reduce operational costs, and ensure compliance with industry standards.

SMC Oilfield: Solutions for Produced Water Treatment

We understand that every produced water treatment system is unique, requiring a tailored approach. That’s why, alongside our extensive chemical product offerings, we provide expert onsite technical support and testing to ensure our solutions are implemented effectively.  Our commitment to delivering high-performance products – such as our AvanClear flocculants and coagulants – means service companies and operators can rely on SMC Oilfield for consistent, optimized results.

Flocculants: Efficient Oil Separation and Solids Removal

Our range of water-based flocculants is specifically designed to address the challenges of produced water treatment in oil and gas operations. These flocculants are surfactant- and oil-free, promoting maximum oil separation from solids in skim tanks and ensuring reliable performance in water treatment systems.

Key Features and Benefits of SMC Oilfield Flocculants:

  • High Active Formulation: Our flocculants are engineered with high active content, maximizing performance while minimizing the space required for storage and reducing transportation costs. A smaller onsite footprint can be especially beneficial in remote operations.
  • No Make-Down System Required: Unlike many other flocculants, our water-based products do not require a make-down system, which simplifies product application and lowers operational costs. These benefits help reduce the complexity of the treatment process, making the process more user-friendly and less labor-intensive.
  • Fast Acting: Time is critical in oil and gas operations. Our flocculants are designed to work quickly, providing rapid results with minimal mixing, allowing for faster processing times and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Our flocculants, including our AvanClear 2182, AvanClear 2183, and AvanClear 2184 have been proven in the field for their ability to produce large flocs with quick rise rates. These formulations ensure that oil is efficiently separated from solids, resulting in cleaner water and more streamlined water treatment processes.

Coagulants: Rapid and Effective Sedimentation

In addition to flocculants, SMC Oilfield offers high-performance coagulants that enhance sedimentation and improve downstream water processing. Coagulants are essential for removing fine suspended solids, which are often difficult to filter out in the absence of chemical assistance.

Key Features and Benefits of SMC Oilfield Coagulants:

  • High Efficiency: Our coagulants are designed to perform across a wide range of pH levels and water conditions, ensuring they are effective in various produced water environments. This versatility means operators can rely on our coagulants to consistently deliver clear water, regardless of site-specific conditions.
  • Versatile Applications: Beyond produced water treatment, our coagulants are suitable for diverse applications, including potable water treatment and industrial effluent treatment. This flexibility makes them a valuable addition to any operator’s water treatment toolkit.
  • Enhanced Sedimentation: One of the key benefits of our coagulants is their ability to promote rapid coagulation and sedimentation. This leads to clearer water and more efficient downstream processing, reducing the burden on filtration systems and improving overall water treatment outcomes.

Our coagulants, such as AvanClear 5000 and AvanClear 6000, are formulated to offer reliable and efficient sedimentation. By accelerating the coagulation process, these products help operators achieve cleaner effluent and improve the overall treatment efficiency.
