AI Article Synopsis
- A bench-scale process was created to treat boiler feed water for reuse in steam generation, using water samples from a steam-assisted gravity drainage plant in northern Alberta, Canada.
- The treatment involves coagulation-settling to eliminate oil, grease, and particulates, followed by an advanced oxidative treatment.
- This two-step process resulted in clean water samples with almost no organic carbon, making them suitable for reuse in steam generation.
Article Abstract
A bench-scale process to treat boiler feed water for reuse in steam generation was developed. Industrial water samples from a steam-assisted gravity drainage plant in northern Alberta, Canada, were obtained and samples characterized. The technology, which consists of coagulation-settling to remove oil/grease and particulates followed by an advanced oxidative treatment, led to clean water samples with negligible organic carbon. Coagulation followed by settling removed most particulates and some insoluble organics. The advanced oxidative treatment removed any remaining color in the samples, decreased the organic content to near-zero, and provided water ready for reuse.
