Turning Oily Wastewater into Operational Gold

Oil production generates hot, oily wastewater that changes quality by the hour. At four sites in India, polymeric membranes couldn’t cope – failing under oil spikes, degrading with each cleaning cycle and forcing frequent shutdowns and replacements.

The solution

Cerafiltec installed submerged ceramic ultrafiltration across all facilities, treating 13,000 m³ of produced water daily. The ceramic plates handle extreme conditions and fully recover after intensive cleaning – delivering consistently clear water for reinjection, steam generation, reuse and compliant discharge.
