Water Filtration
The Challenge
During mechanical cleaning of process tubing, significant quantities of contaminated water are generated.
Cokebusters’ pumping units can hold 4800 gallons (22,000 litres) of water and will typically circulate through the process tubing at 100-200 gpm. On-board filtration will retain debris down to 750µm, for subsequent removal and responsible disposal. Residual water is subject to disposal using on-site drainage.
In certain locations access to large quantities of clean water is restricted, making it a precious commodity.
The Solution
Cokebusters has designed, built and successfully patented a water filtration machine for use in mechanical cleaning operations.
The water filtration machine is a 4 stage unit capable of progressive filtration down to 1µm at a rate of 150gpm. The process involves the use of settling tanks and filtration pods.
At this level the water is considered sufficiently clean for re-use or a vastly enhanced disposal standard.
The machine is a containerised unit, deployed by road trailer. Once on site it is connected, via a frac tank, between the inlet and outlet of the pumping unit.
