(BAT) Best Available Technology to date for pretreatment of produced water and flowback water has been the use of a CPI (Corrugated Plate Interceptor). The CPI Separator can separate free oil 60 micron in size or greater and settleable solids. However, a significant amount of dispersed oil, suspended solids, and stable emulsions would pass between the plates and remain in the flow to the clean water compartment. Unlike CPI separators, the HQI Clarification System has 5 stages of separation.
HQI Clarification Systems are a horizontal gravity flow treatment systems designed to separate settleable solids (specific gravity greater than water), suspended solids (specific gravity the same as water), and free and dispersed oil.
