Country: Congo
Contract Description: Supply of Seawater Coarse, Ultra-filtration (UF) Packages
Contract Start Date: November 2013
Contract Completion Date: January 2015
UF Capacity: 211,320 BPD (33,600 m3/day)
Coarse Permeate Output: <100 micron particles at 98% Efficiency
UF Permeate Output: : 0.0lµm & 5DI (Silt Density lndex) : <2.5
Project Description:
EPC supply of water treatment technology skids, coarse filtration, and Ultrafiltration with a capacity of 211,320 BPD (33,600 m3 /day) to be installed on the FPU topsides to provide the specified seawater treatment quality to the water injection system.
Project Scope:
The Ultrafiltration Package comprises a single-lift UF membrane skid with integral CIP System. Six UF membrane racks, each rack comprising three multi-element vessels (MEV’s), are provided to allow for 1 rack on backwash and 1 spare, which can be taken offline for maintenance. The fine filtered seawater (0.03µm) from the UF system provides the feed to the Water Injection Pump system.
The UF Package also includes a membrane Clean-in-Place (CIP) unit and a Unit Control Panel.
Process Description:
Pressurised seawater is supplied to the UF system from upstream coarse filters. UF hollow fibre membranes, installed in a multi-element housings, are arranged in multiple racks with back-flushing performed using treated water from the downstream UF Backwash Tank. In addition, provision for hypochlorite dosing is provided to facilitate clean-in-place membrane arrays.
Filtered water from the UF Package provides feed water to the downstream water injection system.
