Overview
The PETRECO HYDROMATION Nut Shell Filters, from Camerons Process Systems Division, are down flow, deep bed, walnut shell media filters, designed for produced water filtration. As the liquid passes through the media bed, oil and solids are efficiently retained in the bed, and can then be easily backwashed out of the media bed with the patented, rotating media scrubbing assembly. This backwash assembly is the best technology available for fluidizing the media bed and allows the manufacture of large flow horizontal units (as shown below). No chemicals, surfactants, or air sparging cycles are required for the backwash.
horsepower motor Feed water is used for backwashing Media is not ground up in a pump, so less than 5% per year of media attrition is guaranteed Back-flush volume is typically 0.5 -1% of throughput so waste volume is minimized Greater than 99% annualized online performance E ffluent concentrations down to non-detectable limits of suspended oil and solid
Performance
Under normal operating conditions, they remove 95 to 99% of suspended solids and 90 to 99% of insoluble hydrocarbons, without the use of chemicals.
Product Range
Single filtration units are available up to 175,000 BWPD (1130 m3/hr). PETRECO HYDROMATION Nut Shell Filtration Systems give double the throughput of conventional deep bed sand or graded mixed-media filters.
