installation and operation across a wide range of process

packages.

As we embark on our journey of significant growth, AIES

is committed to deliver World Class solutions to our Clients

with safety as our highest priority.

Produced Water and its treatment are a growing challenge in

all Oil & Gas producing regions. Produced Water is the largest

by-product stream associated with oil & gas production and

the quantity will continue to increase globally.

The complexity of Produced Water Treatment drives the

planning and design of its processing and treatment systems.

Selection of the best available technologies is determined by

multiple factors, including the composition of the Produced

Water, flow rate, future production, solids content and sand

production.

The design of Produced Water Treatment processes requires

a balance between environmental constraints, logistics,

capital costs, weight and space limitations.

PRODUCED WATER TREATMENT PACKAGES

Multi-Phase separators are used downstream of the

wellhead desander for separation of the crude oil,

associated gas, produced water and solids prior to

further processing.

By using AIES internals: inlet devices, coalescing

baffles, plate packs, demisters etc., a suitable solution

can be defined to meet the various requirements.

Detailed analysis and CFD is used to ensure client

requirements are met.

Preliminary Separation Stage / Separators

Primary TreatmentCPIThe AIES Corrugated Plate Interceptor (CPI) is a high efficiency gravity separator used for removing free oil and suspended solids from contaminated water streams. With excellent strength and rigidity, due to the lattice-type pack structure, the AIES CPI has been widely used as a primary treatment step for produced water, rain water run-off and plant wash-down wastewater treatment.

De-oiling HydrocyclonesDe-oiling hydrocyclones are typically used for bulk removal of free oil from produced water. Regarded as a primary stage treatment, de-oiling hydrocyclones are often installed after the production separators. The AIES de-oiling hydrocyclone has been designed with optimum geometry that allows the separation of free oil from water without the shearing of oil droplets.

Secondary TreatmentInduced Static Flotation UnitThe Induced Static Gas Flotation (ISF) uses an Eductor based hydraulic flotation process and is designed for removing fine oil droplets and suspended solids from contaminated waste water streams. With free oil removal efficiencies of up to 98% by volume the AIES ISF is the ideal secondary stage treatment for produced water prior to discharge.

Compact Flotation UnitThe AIES Compact Flotation Unit (CFU) is a multiphase flotation separator developed to meet the need for lower oil in water concentrations and smaller footprints in the offshore environment. Typically, the CFU will be installed after de-oiling hydrocyclones to further reduce the oil content to allow for overboard discharge.

Nutshell Filters are used as the polishing stage in the removal of fine oil droplets and suspended solids. The AIES Nutshell Filter is a down flow, deep bed media filter consisting of a blend of walnut and/or pecan graded shells. In all cases the nutshell filter serves as the tertiary treatment of choice to reduce oil and solids concentration to low levels to meet overboard disposal or re-injection requirements.

SAND REMOVAL AND SAND CLEANING PACKAGES

Production of sand from oil and gas wells is a common difficulty for processing facilities, and is often caused by unconsolidated reservoirs, high production rates, or the failure of gravel packs and other sand control measures. Detrimental effects of sand production include mechanical damage (erosion) to equipment, reduced equipment capacity due to reduced residence time (in the case of separators), partial blockage of pipelines, reduced separation performance due to formation of emulsions, and high environmental discharge costs.

AIES offers solutions for sand removal, sand cleaning and sand transportation.

Wellhead de-sanding hydrocycloneThe multiphase de-sanding hydrocyclone is used to remove suspended solids from multiphase streams. The installation of a wellhead de-sander will enhance production by increasing well rates and reducing process downtime. Virtually all particulate debris such as formation sand, fracture (frac) sand, drilling chips, chalks, and scale, can be removed from production wells on-line.

AIES provides a variety of hydrocyclone sizes designed to achieve the most efficient separation for the given application with pressures up to 15000 psi.

Sand Fluidising CycloneThe AIES Sand Fluidising Cyclone (SFC) allows safe, controlled and efficient removal of sand and solids from the bottom of separators, accumulators and simple gravity settling devices.

The AIES SFCs are equally effective installed in new vessels or retrofitted into existing facilities. Providing good floor coverage, each unit generates high concentration solids slurry for easy sand removal with optimal water usage and no disturbance to the separator operation – these systems can also be easily retrofitted inside older separators to replace sand jetting systems.

De-sanding HydrocycloneThe de-sanding hydrocyclone removes suspended solids from contaminated water streams and represent a key component of sand management systems. The innovative hydrocyclone geometry produces finer separation and increased throughput at lower pressure drops than conventional designs. AIES hydrocyclones are designed to meet the harsh conditions of the upstream processing industry and are constructed of wear resistant alumina ceramic and nitride bonded silicon carbide.

H2S REMOVAL

SAND WASHING

OIL TREATMENT

The environmental regulations require that solids arising from the production operations, such as formation wells, shall be cleaned for disposal. Our sand washing system using AIES Sand Washing Cyclone (SWC) provides an efficient treatment of oil coated solids (oily solids) and reduces the oil content to a level allowable for discharge without the use of chemicals.

H2S stripping columns are an important part of produced water processing in Sour Fields and AIES can share its extensive experience in H2S stripping.

Treatment of Crude Oil before further processing is one of the first steps in oil refining and AI Energy Solutions can provide a range of products such as Oil Separators, Dehydrators and Desalters.

GAS PROCESSING

PROCESS SIMULATION

SweeteningAmine sweetening is used to remove H2S and CO2 from natural gas. The process uses a contactor column to chemically react the H2S and CO2 with an amine liquid and produce sweetened gas. The H2S and CO2 are then removed from the amine using a stripping column. AIES use a licensed design for their amine sweetening process.

DehydrationGlycol dehydration is used to reduce the water content of natural gas to prevent hydrate / ice formation. The process uses a contactor column to absorb the water from the natural gas. Water is then removed from the glycol allowing the glycol to be reused in the system.

Dew-PointingNatural gas dew-pointing is the process of reducing temperature of a natural gas stream to remove NGLs. For high pressure gas streams, a Joule-Thompson valve or expansion turbine may be used, whilst for lower pressure gas streams, propane refrigeration is preferable.

AIES has extensive experience of process simulation employing Aspen HYSYS. Our process simulation consultancy service combines our expertise in computer modelling with our real-world experience of installing oil and gas facilities to provide our clients with optimised and practical solutions.

We provide bespoke simulations for feasibility studies, conceptual designs and existing facilities. The scope may include the full processing plant from wellhead to export, or just a single unit operation. Our sector capabilities include upstream oil & gas processing, downstream refinery operations and LNG plants.
