This study describes an effort to find a method to control bacteria in 130 remote freshwater fiber glass storge tanks with an effective low-cost, convenient treatment method. Freshwater, in this application, is being used to control halite scale formed in the production from unconventional oil wells in the Williston, North Dakota, USA area. The water is sourced from local freshwater rivers and trucked to location and stored in 400 barrel (bbl) freshwater tanks. The water stored in the tanks is injected continuously, and the tanks are refilled on a variable schedule.

Fresh river water is used to flush production lines to control halite deposits in unconventional carbon steel wells near, North Dakota, USA. Raw river water is stored in 400 (bbl) fiberglass tanks and is treated with oxygen scavenger before injection. Quarterly testing showed high levels of bacteria. The remote location, cold seasonal temperatures, tank design, USA EPA regulations and restricted access limit treatment options to biocide application in solid form added to tank tops. To cover all reasonable product candidates, range of both liquid and solid biocides were tested on site to determine an effective formula and dose. Selection was based on multiple factors including, effect on bacteria, compatibility with water, worker safety, product label restrictions and cost. Based on the results, calcium hypochlorite was selected for tank treatments. Hypochlorite is corrosive, however testing showed acceptable corrosion rates (<3mp/y) against carbon steel at target treatment rates for extended periods of time. Tanks were dosed not to exceed 3 ppm free available chlorine residual. Bacteria monitoring showed that bacteria levels in the tank were reduced by as much as 5 log to non-detectable levels post quarterly treatments with calcium hypochlorite.

Robust Non-Phosphorus Cooling Water Treatment Program That Reduces The Biological Control Challenge - A Case Study

Cooling water systems are commonly used to cool a process, either steam, gas or liquid, through heat exchangers or condensers in various plants. The heat exchangers or condensers can be corroded easily or have scale and biofilm growth due to the poor water treatment program. The corrosion, scale, and biofilm growth on heat exchangers can lead to significant reduction in heat exchanger efficiency and lifetime. The repair expense or loss of production often costs plants a few hundred thousand or millions of dollars per day for heavy industries, such as chemical and power plants, refineries, and steel mills. Thus, cooling water treatment is critical to maintain the integrity and efficiency of heat exchangers.

In Oil Sands In-Situ operation bitumen is often extracted from underground oil sands deposits through SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) technology. This method involves forcing steam into sub-surface oil sands deposits, usually those at depth greater than 150m (492 ft), to heat the bitumen locked in the sand, allowing it to flow well enough to be extracted [1]. This process technology makes it possible to access the underground deposits otherwise difficult to access through the open mine method. It is particularly relevant in Canada because it is the most common method of in situ extraction used in the oil sands.
