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.

回收用作废弃采出水 (PW) 中除冰剂的甲醇对石油和天然气行业来说是一项挑战。 PW 含有高达 90% 的甲醇，这使得甲醇成为可在 SAGD 操作中回收或作为副产品出售给替代消费者的重要资源。南阿尔伯塔理工学院 (SAIT) 的能源研究和清洁非常规技术中心及其行业合作伙伴加拿大公司 ChampionX 专注于废水中甲醇的回收和再循环过程。该项目将通过设计、组装和分析一种新颖的高性能水预处理系统，重点优化甲醇回收技术 (MRT) 流程，该系统将集成到艾伯塔省的三个甲醇回收试点装置之一中。实施 MRT 等增强型技术将减少加拿大纸浆和造纸、生物燃料和制药行业等各种行业的甲醇处置，将碳保持在闭环中，减少焚烧造成的温室气体排放，并消除与传统废物处理相关的泄漏和溢出风险，从而为加拿大带来环境效益。这使各行业能够处理处理过的水，以便在运营中重复使用，从而减少对清洁水源的需求。
