Our Applications

Application

KD International provides a complete range of treatment solutions for the removal of free non-emulsified hydrocarbons and solids from sour water. Effective separation is essential to ensure compliance with environmental regulations, reduce operational costs, and protect downstream water treatment systems from contamination and inefficiencies.

Problem

Free non-emulsified oils in sour water and other water-oil streams can cause severe disruptions in plant water treatment systems, leading to:

• Increased Treatment Costs – Higher expenses for downstream processing and disposal
• Equipment Fouling & Blockages – Residual oil buildup impacting system efficiency
• Regulatory Compliance Issues – Exceeding permitted discharge limits for oil content
• Environmental & Safety Concerns – Risk of contamination affecting plant operations
  Failure to properly treat sour water can result in costly maintenance, reduced system performance, and increased regulatory scrutiny.
