Swirltex

s with a proprietary membrane solution for a wide variety of applications. Our water treatment technology has a low environmental footprint, low OPEX & CAPEX, energy savings, high-quality permeate production, and reduction in membrane fouling. Our spin on filtration has a bright future in the water treatment sector, with room for promising growth. The Swirltex Technology:
The Swirltex system uses a proprietary method that enhances conventional membrane treatment through a process called “Buoyancy Enhanced Membrane Filtration.” Through the process of induced gas flotation (IGF), Swirltex injects micro-bubbles at a high pressure to encapsulate solid contaminants in a gas mixture, thus increasing their buoyancy and allowing the particles to float. Next, produced water passes through a vortex-generating device, such as a twisted tape, which induces spinning within each tube. A portion of the produced water passes through the membrane as clean effluent, while the concentrate continues through each tube and can be recycled into a produced water input stream. The Swirltex system is housed in modular containerized units, creating a highly mobile and flexible solution to support site-specific configuration. Water quality is predictable and stable, allowing for enhanced water recycling and decreased freshwater use in oil and gas operations.
