Produced water is the largest byproduct of hydrocarbon production, posing a critical operational and environmental challenge for the oil and gas sector. Advances in treatment technologies and regulatory pressures are driving the industry toward more sustainable and efficient handling of this critical water resource.
To address these issues, Sigma Advanced Technologies has engineered an efficient, portable system to process produced water. The mobile all‑in‑one ozone water treatment containers are designed for maximum flexibility and performance and can process everything from low‑flow industrial waste streams to high‑volume waters reaching up to 100,000 barrels per day.
Built for rapid deployment and seamless integration into existing field infrastructure, the modular treatment containers combine mobility and, efficiency with and advanced oxidation technology. By leveraging high‑concentration ozone treatment within a compact, self‑contained system, the units provide a chemical‑free, environmentally responsible solution for operators seeking to reduce freshwater demand and improve sustainability across their operations.
In addition to the flexibility to deploy units directly where needed, the Sigma Advanced Technologies system affords the ability to recycle produced water and reduce costs incurred by produced water disposal. Safety risks are also minimized by eliminating the storage and handling of hazardous chemicals as well as the dangers associated with seismic disposal.
