The recovery of methanol used as a de-icer in disposed produced water (PW) is a challenge to the oil and gas industry. The PW can consist of as much as 90% methanol, making that methanol a substantial resource that can be recycled in SAGD operations or sold to alternative consumers as a byproduct. The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT)'s Centre for Energy Research and Clean Unconventional Technologies and their industry partner, Canadian company ChampionX, are focused on the recovery and recycling process of methanol from wastewater. This project will focus on the optimization of the Methanol Recovery Technology (MRT) process through designing, assembling and analyzing a novel, high-performance water pre-treatment system that will be integrated within one of the three methanol recovery pilot units in Alberta. Implementing an enhanced technology such as MRT will provide Canada with environmental benefits by reducing the disposal of the methanol in a variety of industries, such as the Canadian pulp and paper, biofuels and pharmaceutical industries by keeping carbon in a closed-loop, reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by incineration, and eliminating leaking and spill risks associated with conventional waste disposal. This provides industries with the ability to treat processed water to be reused in operations, reducing the need for clean water sources.

用作销售水（PW）中用作去射的甲醇的恢复是对石油和天然气行业的挑战。 PW可以由多达90％的甲醇组成，使该甲醇成为可以在下垂操作中回收或以副产品出售给替代消费者的大量资源。南艾伯塔省技术学院（SAIT）的能源研究与清洁非常规技术中心及其行业合作伙伴加拿大公司Championx致力于从废水中的甲醇的恢复和回收过程。该项目将通过设计，组装和分析一种新型的高性能水预处理系统来优化甲醇恢复技术（MRT）过程，该过程将集成在艾伯塔省的三个甲醇回收试验单元之一中。实施增强的技术（例如MRT）将通过减少甲醇处理在各种行业中的处置，例如加拿大纸浆和纸张，生物燃料和制药行业，通过将碳保持在闭合环中，减少与渗透和泄漏风险相关的风险，通过将碳保持在闭合环中，减少碳气体的销售，并减少碳气体的排放。这为行业提供了治疗加工水的能力，可以在操作中重复使用，从而减少了对清洁水源的需求。
