Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to filtering technologies that combine elements of continuous and batch NF/RO based on the constraints of the end-user facility to achieve a target balance between, for instance, recovery and power consumption, and to reduce long term operating cost of a plant. A method for extending batch operation into a second induction period with antiscalant injection is also disclosed herein, with the second induction period allowing for yet higher water recovery.
Abstract: Desalination of produced water is performed by pre-treatment of produced water to reduce pH, whereupon the reduced pH produced water is fed into desalination unit thereby producing high-quality desalinated water and also increasing the longevity of desalination unit by not clogging filters of the desalination unit. The method can be coupled with any desalination unit on site, thus allowing flexibility in application.
