Innovative Technologies
& Focus on Research
Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies (VWS) offers
complete solutions for SAGD produced water treatment as
well as other water treatment technologies required for insitu production facilities.
The expertise gained from the 500+ installations worldwide
in the oil & gas industry, coupled with continued research
and development, allows VWS to continue providing
innovative technologies to our clients.

This is especially true in Canada where years of research,

testing, and on-site pilot facilities have produced several
new process designs and technologies.
These innovations specifically address the challenges of
sustainable development in the oilsands.

Service Agreement and DBO Project Delivery

Our service agreement and design, build, operate (DBO)
project delivery provides a long term responsibility to
maintain facility performance through a single solutions
supplier, Veolia.
The cornerstone of this approach is based on Veolias
ability to take responsibility for any shortcomings in plant
performance through its useful life cycle. DBO services

are provided as required to maintain performance at the

design basis, including capacity, effluent quality, availability,
design-build-operate cost, and project schedule.
Together, these commitments are delivered through a
performance guarantee that is contractually supported by
Veolia for the complete project.

AUTOFLOT Induced Gas Flotation (IGF)

IGF oil water separation units typically form part of a treatment train to reduce free oil and
solids by 90-95% with maximum inlet concentrations of 300 mg/l of free oil and less than 150
mg/l of total suspended solids.
The AutoFlot separator may be a self-contained system with its own controls, or it could be
equipped with transmitters to send signals to a control panel that oversees a complete
treatment system.
Currently, the largest hydraulic IGF unit produced is operating in Alberta to support a current
SAGD project. It is rated at a capacity of 932 m3/hr (4,092 GPM) with 95% oil removal efficiency.

Power Clean Oil Removal Filters (ORF)

Power Clean Nutshell filters are unparalled in removing suspended solids and hydrocarbons from
produced water or any water source. They are equally effective for the treatment of suspended
solids, oily residues, ash, and metallic hydroxides from industrial liquids.
The Power Clean difference includes:
> External scrub screen for simple maintenance
> The pecan/walnut shell media resists fluid fouling
> Designed flux rate of 12.5 to 15.0 gpm / ft allows for smaller
and fewer filter requirements and uses less floor space

Produced Water Evaporators

Silica Sorption Process

Silica Sorption technology is effective for processing and disposal of brines with high concentrations
of silica and other scaling constituents. The Silica Sorption Process, when utilized with evaporation,
offers a more cost-effective, safer, and environmentally friendly method of disposing of evaporator
concentrate.
The Silica Sorption Difference:
> Reduced chemical consumption, minimizing operating costs
> Management of Calcium and Magnesium allows use of high hardness, saline make-up water
> Evaporator concentrate is suitable for cost-effective on-site / off-site disposal or ZLD
if applicable
