August 2010
In collaboration with Jutal Offshore Oil Services Limited, Enhydra has recently completed a series of offshore trials of the jointly developed Vortixx CFU (Compact Flotation Unit). The design of the Vortixx CFU is a unique concept developed by Enhydra, with pilot units fabricated by regional partner Jutal. The trials took place on a number of Oil Production Facilities offshore China against other reputable CFU products. In many of the trials a single stage of Vortixx CFU outperformed 2 stages of the other products, providing excellent results even on reputably difficult to separate emulsions. Further details are available on request.

September 2009
A UK based EPC contractor has been awarded a contract for the design of a new offshore oil production platform as part of a large oilfield expansion. One of the objectives of the project was to mimic phase 1 of the field development wherever possible. However, with much higher volumes of produced water and with the operator’s lower corporate oily water discharge limits there were new challenges to be met. Enhydra were employed at the “select” stage of the development to identify what changes would be required to meet these changes while minimising space, weight and chemicals consumption.

August 2009
Enhydra have recently run a Produced Water Workshop for Kuwait Oil Company (KOC). The workshop was led by David Lloyd (Enhydra’s Technical Director) and was supported by Tony Dinning of Aquateam.

The whole workshop was run over a 3 day period in Ahmadi, Kuwait and was attended by key operations and planning personnel from all of KOC’s regional operating sites.
