Electro-flotation and electro-chemical oxidation pilot treatment platform for oil and gas wastewater

Silverwing能源公司已向SAIT理工学院寻求技术测试和验证方面的帮助，以处理加拿大油砂作业中的采出水。EF和ECO技术已在欧洲、中东和亚洲用于商业处理工业废水。Silverwing认为，这种技术具有去除水中结垢矿物和重矿物的能力，是加拿大工业部门使用的传统水处理技术的理想替代品。银翼与一位德国污水技术专家建立了合作伙伴关系，该专家参与了全球约200个污水处理项目，并拥有EF和ECO技术的知识产权。通过合作，Silverwing计划将这些技术应用于加拿大的工业部门，如油砂、采矿和建筑，在废水处理和水循环利用领域。参与项目包括两个实验级EF和ECO系统的测试，以及对Silverwing公司EF Miniflot S-200试点EF系统的功能评估和测试。该公司将立即利用Engage研究的结果。SAIT和Silverwing预计将启动一个更大的研究项目，其中包括设计和建造一个使用ECO技术的中试规模的废水处理系统，以及将该系统与EF Miniflot S-200集成。SAIT还将对集成的EF-ECO试点系统进行实验室测试，以确定进一步现场测试的最佳操作参数。预计将于2017年设计和制造基于组合技术的商业规模处理平台，并于2018年初完全商业化。

Silverwing Energy Corp. has approached SAIT Polytechnic for assistance in technical testing and verification of electro-flotation (EF) and electro-chemical oxidation (ECO) technologies to treat produced water in the Canadian oil sands operations. EF and ECO technologies have been commercially used in Europe, the Middle East and Asia to treat industrial wastewater. Silverwing believes that such technologies, with their capabilities in removing scale forming mineral and heavy minerals in water, are an ideal alternative to traditional water treatment technologies used in Canadian industrial sectors. Silverwing has established a partnership with a German wastewater technology expert who has been involved in about 200 wastewater treatment projects worldwide and owns the IP of the EF and ECO technologies. Through the partnership, Silverwing is planning to apply the technologies to the industrial sectors, such as oil sands, mining and construction, in Canada in the areas of wastewater treatment and water recycling. The Engage project comprises testing of two bench-scale EF and ECO systems, and an evaluation of the functionality of and testing of Silverwing's pilot EF system, the EF Miniflot S-200. The results of the Engage research will be exploited immediately by the company. SAIT and Silverwing expect to launch a larger research project which will include the design and building of a pilot scale wastewater treatment system using ECO technology, as well as the integration of the system with the EF Miniflot S-200. SAIT will also conduct lab tests on the integrated pilot EF-ECO system to determine the best operational parameters for further on-site testing. It is expected that design and fabrication of commercial sized treatment platforms based on the combined technologies will be undertaken in 2017 with full commercialization in early 2018.
