AQUARION GROUP (AQUARION AG) SHOWCASES SOLUTIONS FOR DOWNSTREAM OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY AT OMAN REFINING & PETROCHEMICAL EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE (ORPEC)

MUSCAT, Oman, 2 March, 2015 – Aquarion Group (Aquarion AG), a leading provider of advanced water systems, solutions and technologies for the oil & gas industry, the energy sector and other process industries, will highlight its solutions for the downstream oil and gas market at the 1st Oman Refining & Petrochemical Exhibition & Conference (ORPEC), Booth # B 305. The event, which provides an important platform for the GCC’s downstream petroleum sector, takes place March 16‐18 at the Oman International Exhibition Center in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman.

”Wastewater treatment in petroleum refineries is a complex process that must address demanding environmental management challenges, often requiring a combination of treatment methods to remove oil and other contaminants before discharge. Aquarion is pleased to bring its exceptional experience and expertise to address the needs of the growing and important market,” said David Howsley, Senior Vice President of Aquarion Group.

At ORPEC, Aquarion will showcase its comprehensive array of process equipment and services for the downstream sector including Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), seawater reverse osmosis, process water, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse, condensate polishing and sludge dewatering. Aquarion’s technology innovations include ZLD – ECO, which utilizes advanced pre‐treatment to minimize thermal treatment, thus further optimizing the ZLD process. As reflected in the term “ECO”, which stands for “economical,” this leads to lower energy and chemical consumption (cooling, heating and electrical energy) and reduced capital cost. Modular and compact designs
with short production times are integrated into Aquarion’s holistically designed process plants.
