nhanced oil recovery (EOR) performed offshore can bring up oil along with a lot of water. LANTERN has developed a state-of-of-the-art procedure to remove the water from the oil, recover the oil, and safely discharge the water back into the ocean from onboard the platform or recycle it for reinjection.
Our treatment options can be adjusted for your needs, and there are other steps we can add to this process to take out metals (a patent-pending process that can treat very complex contaminated water). We can also use our innovative two-step deoxygenation process on the produced water so it can be recycled and used for EOR injection or washing crude. The technology features a very small footprint on the platform compared to conventional technologies.
This process can also be used on land for oil and gas production, efficiently treating wastewater for reinjection and/or discharge.
When a rare earth mine in North America sought to improve efficiency by recovering brine for acid and caustic production, it turned to LANTERN for a brine conditioning circuit to handle its complex blend of contaminants.
When an oil refinery in West Virginia needed to replace its softening equipment with a more efficient system, LANTERN helped the client install and run an effective UPCORE™ ion exchange system for minimal hardness and maximum results.
When a specialty metals producer in the Midwest needed an efficient solution for capturing cadmium from its wastewater streams, it looked to LANTERN for an ion exchange (IX) solution to maximize its resources.
