Our Applications

Application

KD International provides advanced treatment solutions for produced water, the largest waste stream in oil and gas production. Produced water is a byproduct extracted alongside hydrocarbons and increases as reservoirs mature. To maximize recovery, water is often re-injected to enhance reservoir pressure. Over time, oil wells produce more water than oil, making efficient separation essential to reducing treatment costs, improving resource recovery, and ensuring compliance with discharge or re-injection standards.

Problem

Produced water treatment is complex due to the presence of hydrocarbons, suspended solids, and chemical emulsions from production activities. Key challenges include:

• Hydrocarbon Contamination – Oil and gas residues requiring efficient separation
• Suspended Solids – Sand, silt, and particulates causing operational blockages
• Chemical Emulsions – Corrosion inhibitors, methanol, and foaming agents complicating treatment
• Injection Well Fouling – Untreated water can cause reservoir plugging and reduced injectivity
  Produced water requires specialized treatment before overboard discharge or re-injection to meet environmental and operational standards.

Solution

KD International provides high-efficiency produced water treatment solutions designed to optimize oil recovery and reduce handling costs. Our advanced separation and filtration systems remove free oil, solids, and emulsified contaminants, ensuring compliance and operational efficiency. Our treatment portfolio includes:

• Produced Water Separators – Efficient recovery of oil and condensate
• Mobile & Fixed Filtration Skids – Flexible solutions for offshore and onshore applications
• Coalescing Filtration Units – Separation of fine oil droplets from water
• Self-Cleaning Filtration Systems – Automated solutions for continuous operation
• Injection Water Treatment Systems – Preventing reservoir plugging and improving injectivity
• Regulatory-Compliant Discharge Systems – Ensuring treated water meets environmental standards
• Hydrocyclone Skids – Effective separation of heavier solids from fluids

With KD International’s tailored treatment solutions, operators achieve cleaner produced water, improved oil recovery, lower operational costs, and enhanced regulatory compliance.
