SupaPleat HFC SRP
Injection of seawater is often necessary to maintain reservoir pressure and increase the recovery factor in oil production. Sulphate Removal Processes (SRP) are used on water for injection to prevent scaling of the formation caused by sulphates reacting with barium and strontium in the crude oil. Removal of the sulphates will also reduce the risk of reservoir souring.
Nano membranes used in the SRP require effective prefiltration to avoid premature fouling and ensure long life for these systems. Amazon Filters Limited have developed the high-efficiency SupaPleat HFC SRP large diameter cartridges specifically for the Sulphate Removal Process. Their use can maximize membrane life, reduce replacement costs, and avoid unexpected interruptions to the process.
SupaPleat HFC SRP high surface area cartridges utilize pleated depth media technology, and Amazon’s in-house development has optimized the pleat pack, ensuring pressure losses are low, dirt capacity is high, and rigidity is maintained at all flow rates. Therefore, SupaPleat HFC SRP filters provide a unique combination of high dirt holding and reliable performance under varying fresh and seawater conditions.
High Efficiency Filter Media
SRP membrane suppliers set demanding specifications for the pretreatment of the seawater, prior to processing. This includes the removal of particulates that will foul the membrane prematurely. SupaPleat HFC SRP filters are manufactured with high-efficiency media that is designed to maintain removal efficiency for contaminants throughout the lifetime of the filter and under varying process conditions. Using SupaPleat HFC SRP filters can help avoid unexpected membrane fouling and interruption to the Sulphate Removal Process and water supply.
Product Features
- High surface area, resulting in low clean ?P and excellent dirt holding capacity
- 100% thermally welded construction for maximum integrity and strength, up to 1541mm (60”)
- Internal support core for resistance to back pressure
Amazon Filters manufacture a comprehensive range of filter housings for the SupaPleat HFC SRP filter cartridges. Available in many materials and sizes to suit all flow rates, please consult our sales office for further details on our full range.
