Background

Brine water is a part of SANTOS’ operation and is costly to dispose and transport. It is crucial to process brine water to improve environmental compatibility and reduce disposal cost.

 

Solution

Tricomms Construction has designed a trial VSEP process plant capable in concentrating the brine water and produce fresh water for operation purposes.

 

VSEP Desalination Treatment Plant

• Brine is drawn from a water tank and passes through two cartridge filters to remove larger particles before water is sent into the VSEP shakers
• The VSEP shakers concentrates the brine and feeds permeate to the permeate tank.
• Water chlorination is provided to kill certain bacteria and other microbes
• Remote monitoring has been fitted to enable ongoing system assessment by qualified Tricomms Construction’s technicians. It’s like having your own technician onsite.

 

Benefits

• Up to L/d of treated construction water available for operation
• Environmental compliance
• Optimised site water management and efficiency
