AQUARION AG TO EXHIBIT ADVANCED WATER TREATMENT SOLUTIONS FOR THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY AT WORLD PETROLEUM CONGRESS IN MOSCOW

VISIT US AT HALL 15, STAND A16.1 (15-A16.1)

BAAR Switzerland, 4 June, 2014 – Aquarion Group (Aquarion AG) will showcase two of its newest technologies and its robust portfolio of advanced water treatment solutions for the global oil & gas industry at the 21st World Petroleum Congress, which will be held 15-19 June at the International Expo Centre “Crocus Expo” in Moscow. The 21st World Petroleum Congress is the largest global oil and gas exhibition to take place in Russia, with 55,000 square meters of space, 500 exhibitors, and an expected 20,000 visitors from around the world.

Featured technologies for applications in the oil & gas market include:

REDft® UF, an innovative membrane water treatment system that features reduced footprint membrane technology. The patented REDft process integrates a micro/ultrafiltration membrane into the high pressure reverse osmosis or nanofiltration module. It provides high quality water to the spiral membranes, allowing an increase in flux and reduction in cleaning frequency. Advantages of REDft over standard systems include a significant decrease in the system footprint, reduced number of components, and a reduction of the system tonnage (weight).

ZLD-ECO, an advanced hybrid zero liquid discharge system that further optimizes the ZLD process. ZLD-ECO utilizes innovative, proprietary pre-treatment processes to reduce thermal treatment, resulting in lower energy and chemical consumption and reduced capital cost.  ZLD-ECO lowers energy consumption by capturing and reusing the waste energy and recycling it for application in other process steps. This energy return optimizes flux rates with respect to membrane technologies. ZLD-ECO provides high recovery rates of 90-99 percent, depending on the source water.

Aquarion provides a comprehensive array of process equipment and services to both the upstream and downstream oil & gas markets, while addressing both onshore and offshore requirements.

Solutions for the onshore sector include produced water treatment, separation technologies, sludge dewatering, zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems, shale gas and recycling technologies, process water, condensate polishing, waste water treatment, spent caustic treatment, and recycling and reuse.

For the offshore market, Aquarion provides produced water treatment, slop water treatment, seawater reverse osmosis, potable water systems, low salinity enhanced oil recovery, and sulphate removal systems (SRP).

In addition to the oil and gas industry, Aquarion provides advanced water systems, solutions and technologies for the energy sector and other process industries. As a total enhanced EPC solution provider, Aquarion provides the best available technologies, high quality engineering, international expertise and local know how from its operations in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, USA, UK, Norway and Libya.
