This research addresses directly Canada's specific needs for developing technologies to remediate sites contaminated by produced water spills. It is targeted at the remediation of soils contaminated by produced water resulting from oil and gas exploration and production. Produced water represents the single largest waste stream from the oil and gas industry. Numerous sites are identified across Western Canada that have been contaminated by historic process water spills as a result of upstream oil and gas production. The spills typically contain a very high level of sodium chloride, which poses significant risks to ecological habitats, drinking water supplies and agricultural lands. Local hydrogeologic conditions (e.g., low groundwater flow and recharge) can pose significant constraints for remediation, and many of these sites are in remote locations. Matrix Solutions Inc. is a global leader in developing environmental engineering solutions. In collaboration with Matrix Solutions, who has committed a generous in-kind contribution at this stage, this Engage project aims at developing low-energy reverse osmosis custom-designed for remediation of the contaminated sites via cleaning of extracted water coupled with re-infiltration.

这项研究直接涉及加拿大在开发技术以补救被生产水溢出污染的场地方面的具体需要。其目标是修复因石油和天然气勘探和生产而产生的采出水污染的土壤。采出水是石油和天然气工业中最大的单一废物流。在加拿大西部发现了许多因上游石油和天然气生产而受到历史性工艺水泄漏污染的地点。泄漏物通常含有非常高水平的氯化钠，这对生态栖息地、饮用水供应和农田构成重大风险。当地水文地质条件（例如，地下水流量和补给量低）可能对补救造成严重制约，而且这些地点中有许多位于偏远地区。Matrix Solutions Inc.是开发环境工程解决方案的全球领导者。与Matrix Solutions合作，该项目旨在开发低能耗反渗透，通过清洁提取的水并结合再渗透来修复受污染的场地。
