Bill 319 was a key measure for OGA. The organization understands the importance of extending pipeline to help future production of natural gas in Ohio. “Senate Bill 319 was spearheaded by a few of the bigger gas utilities in Ohio,” Hamilton says. “But it also benefits smaller utilities, enabling us to extend to areas that are set for economic development that previously may have been cost prohibitive for us to extend to.”

“For an organization that has been around for 45 years, it is very welcoming to new members. Some of our more active members in the organization are the individuals who helped mold the organization into what it has become.” Students learn about the energy business during the “Student Event: Energy Education Vanessa Hamilton Institute Program” at the Offshore Technology Conference in 2015.

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GOOD YEAR applications, as well as practices and processes,” Fowler says. OGA has high expectations in 2016 for what it wants to accomplish. The OTC gives attendees access to leading-edge technical information, association is working on a broad strategic plan for the next three years with the industry’s largest equipment exhibition and valuable new professional various events as well as training and technical seminars. contacts from around the world. “We always want to try to increase the value we bring to our member “At OTC, the industry’s most pressing issues are addressed by executive- companies,” Hamilton says. “So we’re trying to host more one-day seminars. level speakers that attendees might not encounter anywhere else,” Fowler The seminars range in topics but they allow our members to stay abreast of says. “Speakers include representatives from key U.S. agencies, international industry changes, new technology and allow them to train key members of energy ministries and company executives to address the most pressing their organization on a variety of topics cost-effectively.” industry issues.” It’s an exciting time for the association and also the industry — especially OTC expects to attract up to 90,000 attendees in 2016. in eastern Ohio where there’s an influx of new natural gas production. “Demand for exhibition space remains strong with companies knowing “Ohio has just about reached a point where we will probably produce as the value and return on investment of meeting and networking with customers much natural gas in the aggregate as we use in the aggregate,” Stewart says. at OTC,” Fowler says. “That’s an amazing stat, because Ohio’s about the eighth- or ninth-largest natural gas consuming state.

Dewatering/Separation Equipment, Water and Wastewater Management By Craig Mandli

VACUUM DRUM DEWATERING FILTER REPLACES FILTER PRESS IN OILFIELD OPERATION Problem A total disposal recovery operation on a Watford, North Dakota, oilfield took in and processed oilfield tank bottoms, cutting fluids, DAF sludge and drilling mud. A plate-and-frame filter press was used for oil recovery and mud dewatering. The cuttings and large slugs of solids were removed with a centrifuge, and the centrate was sent to the press system. Despite the centrifuge doing the heavy lifting, the mud blinded the filter plates and the solids coming off the press needed excessive amounts of fly ash to absorb the moisture.

Solution ALAR Engineering introduced the Auto-Vac rotary vacuum drum dewatering filter. Mud samples were shipped to ALAR for bench simulation testing. Satisfied with the results, the company shipped a tote of its wastewater to ALAR for a test bay demonstration. Grab samples of the dry solids and clear effluent were taken and sent out for lab analysis. The company rented a pilot test unit, and later purchased a trailer-mounted Auto-Vac Model AV660.

Result Once installed, the Auto-Vac produced water with less than 50 ppm TSS, and solids that were many times drier than from the filter press. The need for fly ash was eliminated. In fact, the Auto-Vac solids were used to absorb the moisture from the centrifuge solids. On some occasions, it would extract valuable condensate from the process, which was recovered in the clean-water tanks. The low TSS enhanced post desalinization or other ultra-filtration methods. 708/479-6100; www.alarcorp.com.

CENTRIFUGE ALLOWS QUARTZ MINE TO INCREASE PRODUCTION

Problem In 2008, a quartz and sables lot in France had a capacity expansion problem. The demand for quartz was designed the system so that three complete 250 gpm RO units were mounted on one 37- by 39-inch skid. The system would reuse 100 percent of the water on continuously increasing, forcing them to double production. The bottleneck of the system was the sludge processing. site, with the option of using the RO reject as feed for the cooling towers and the RO product as boiler feed water. The improved system used existing equipment They were at capacity running four filter presses 24 hours a day. where appropriate, and included completely automated controls, further reducing supply and maintenance costs at the facility.

Solution Result Rather than install additional filter presses, it was recommended that the facility install a single centrifuge from The water treatment system has reduced supply costs, improved operating efficiency, decreased maintenance costs and provided a consistent high-quality DRYCAKE. According to the engineer, beyond the cost of the filter presses themselves, the extra filter presses required boiler feed water supply. 877/999-6645; www.originclear.com. additional full-time staff. The pilot went well, as a mobile device mounted on a container processed 3.5 tons per hour of cake sludge. The centrifuge offered a lower capital than a filter press with the same capacity, continuous operation rather than cyclical, good clarification and clay handling, compact equipment and no staff. DEWATERING TECHNOLOGY USED TO REPLACE CENTRIFUGE

Result Problem In the end, a DR650H 26-inch-bowl-diameter decanter was installed with the same treatment capacity as four filter presses combined. They are now only One of the centrifuges thickening waste activated sludge at Wildcat Hill Wastewater Treatment Plant in Flagstaff, using two filter presses in tandem with the one centrifuge.

Solution REFINERY WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM IMPROVES EFFICIENCY “I was aware of a unique Trident KDS Thickener/Dewaterer technology that had the potential to replace the centrifuge,” says Troy Dagenhart, operations supervisor at the plant. “The KDS potentially required 94 percent less power and 50 percent less maintenance, so Problem we scheduled a demonstration.” The KDS Thickener uses a low-speed grid and rotor technology, which because of the slow mechanicals has low energy and Operators of the Delek Refinery in Tyler, Texas, needed to update their aging ion exchange system, which had become maintenance specs. The correct-sized KDS could use the existing concrete pad and require minor plumbing changes. inefficient and costly to maintain. Waste from the system was generated every two days, and chemical and treatment costs were high. In addition, the plant desired higher quality water to feed the high-pressure boilers. Refinery operators needed a system Result upgrade that would comply with strict suspended and dissolved solids quality requirements for boiler feed water. The material tested was 0.7 percent solids fed to the unit at a volume of 20 gpm, which is about 25 percent of the total plant volume. The unit performed quickly. Using polymer dosing, the material thickened to 6.5 percent solids. The centrate was reduced to 13.3 mg/L TSS. “That’s probably the lowest centrate Solution number I’ve ever seen,” says Dagenhart. “It was really clear.” The system ran quietly with no vibration. The KDS’s power cost, for double the present volume, is With on-site space constraints, engineers from OriginClear’s Progressive Water Treatment were brought in to design estimated to be 6 percent of the centrifuge. 800/799-3740; www.tridentprocesses.com.
