Corrugated Plate Separators (CPS’s) provide economical and effective removal of oil and solids from wastewater by gravity, in a smooth, efficient automatic flow. With thousands of installations in operation, this proven design has no moving parts and provides consistent operating results for simple and better separation.
The Folded Flow® DAF system’s simple and innovative design “folds” the flow by removing effluent from the same end of the tank as the influent is introduced, resulting in a higher hydraulic loading rate.
Hydrocell™ hydraulic induced air flotation separators remove oil and suspended solids from water in large volumes, and can process solids and oils from 50 ppm to several hundred ppm with product effluents containing less than 5 ppm.
The PACT system combines biological treatment and carbon adsorption into a single, synergistic treatment step, resulting in significant cost savings and performance advantages over other systems.
Siemens Water Solutions offers a complete line of products to remove oily contaminants from water. Our newest addition to this line of products is the Monosep high-flow walnut shell filter, offering improved technology in walnut shell filtration.
The patented Veirsep horizontal flotation system incorporates several unique technologies to separate oil and various other contaminates from produced water and contaminated wastewater streams.
The Spinsep vertical flotation system incorporates several unique methods for removing oil from produced and wastewater streams before they are discharged or injected.
At the heart of our Monosep line of technologies is our proprietary Brise™ dissolved gas flotation (DGF) pump system.
Our patented Combosep (COMBination Of SEParators) is typically comprised of a vertical and horizontal flotation system, mounted on a common skid, complete with interconnect piping.
The high efficiency liquid/liquid hydrocyclone provides maximum oil/water separation efficiency, and is used in industrial process water, industrial reuse, oil/water separation, and clarification/separation applications
This filter uses variations of different medias in a downflow pressure filter configuration. The flux varies with different applications and can range from 5 GPM/ft² for some mining applications to 20 GPM/ft² for offshore seawater filtration
Zimpro Wet Air Oxidation (WAO) systems are used primarily for treatment of high strength industrial wastewater streams.
API Oil/Water Separators are the performance, safety and environmental standard for petroleum refineries throughout the world
The solid/liquid hydrocyclone is a cyclone clarifier that offers continuous solids removal from liquid. It is used in industrial process water, industrial reuse, oil/water separation and clarification/separation applications
Auto-Shell walnut shell filters remove oily contaminants from water, and are used in treating oilfield produced water, refinery wastewater, steel mill direct spray and caster water, ethylene plant quench water, copper concentrate decant and cooling water
Produced water is generated in the process of lifting oil and gas from water-bearing formations–typically sea or lake beds. As oil and gas is lifted to the surface, water is brought along with it. This water must be treated prior to discharge or re-injection.
Meeting water quality specifications for injection or reinjection is essential for protecting the permeability of a reservoir.
The treatment of process water can have a substantial and serious impact on a facility’s bottom line results in the short term as well as over the life of the equipment.
In the last 10 years, we have successfully installed over two dozen spent caustic wet oxidation systems, with capacities varying from 0.5 to 18.5 m3/h (2 to 81 gpm). Our systems are the industry standard and are included in many of the new world-scale ethylene plants.

It may not be immediately apparent just how crucial bubbles are to oil and gas operations. They play a critical role in a process known as dissolved gas flotation (DGF), which is imperative for removing contaminants. And not all bubbles are created the same.
Horizontal drilling started back in 1929 and hydraulic fracking began in 1949. However, it was not until 2003 that the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracking processes were combined to extract gas from the Barnett Shale in north Texas. Since then, gas drilling has increased by 14 times in the United States. Given the vast shale formations throughout the United States, drilling will continue to increase for several more years.
Jack Roushey, Product Manager for Siemens electromagnetic flowmeters, presents on how to use magmeters in zero upstream and zero downstream applications. Based on their demonstrated ability to perform in non-ideal conditions, the SITRANS F M MAG 5100W and MAG 8000 electromagnetic sensors from Siemens have received approval for 2% accuracy custody transfer (MI-001) and non-custody transfer applications for installation with zero diameter upstream pipe and zero diameter downstream straight run pipe from the sensor.
Braskem Idesa is a 75-25 joint venture between Brazil’s Braskem, the largest producer of thermoplastic resins in the Ame ricas, and Grupo Idesa, a traditional petrochemical company in Mexico. As one of the project’s top suppliers of skills, technology and equipment, Siemens itself marshaled resources and employees from 11 different countries to collaborate on a truly multinational and multicultural level with Braskem Idesa and its global partners.
Manual tank gauging is a common oilfield activity that’s resulted in multiple worker deaths in recent years. By using work practice control, operators can reduce the risks it poses significantly.
PerforMedia™ oil removal media replaces walnut shells in media filtration systems. Manufactured from materials not subject to agricultural limitations, the media is able to handle five times the amount of oil before requiring backwash; is able to maintain feed concentrations of greater than 500 mg/L while producing effluent well under 10 ppm; and can be used on a wide range of oil API and elevated temperatures.

Siemens Water Solutions offers a full range of laboratory scale, bench scale and pilot scale testing capabilities – either at our site or at yours. Let us pilot test a system for you today and demonstrate the benefits of a PACT® MBR system for you in real time.
Streamlined oil and gas wastewater treatment via the unique, all-in-one PACT® MBR system by Siemens — proven, available and supported worldwide — uses half the space of conventional methods and offers substantial cost savings. The PACT® MBR system combines the process performance of activated sludge biological treatment, activated carbon adsorption and membrane filtration into a simplified and compact waste treatment model.
Siemens has developed an easy-to-operate, packaged, electro-oxidation system that can treat even the toughest wastewaters.
Electro-oxidation, also called electrochemical advanced oxidation, uses electricity to generate hydroxyl radicals to perform oxidation in wastewater treatment. A new commercially available electro-oxidation process—Zimpro® Electro-oxidation (ZEO)—is especially effective for treating the highly problematic spent caustic streams produced by sweetening operations in petroleum refineries and ethylene plants, particularly at volumes below the economically feasible threshold for existing established treatment technologies.
Late on a Friday afternoon, there was an emergency phone call to the Siemens Process Instrumentation office in Hauppauge, NY.
Based on experience and knowledge gained from application of the highly-effective Zimpro® wet air oxidation (WAO) technology, Siemens has developed an electro-oxidation process to address the needs of refinery and petrochemical spent caustic treatment.
Smart technologies and connectivity just about everywhere have enabled Siemens Water Solutions to offer comprehensive Life Cycle Management to oil and gas customers worldwide, helping ensure that water treatment facilities are always optimized and available, for decades of safe, dependable use.
Researchers set out to find a substitute for black walnut shells for oil/water separation due in part to the seasonal availability of black walnuts shells. Additionally, a media with improved performance was needed.
