Properly prepared produced water helps eliminate millions of dollars spent yearly on injection and disposal well workovers. In most cases, redesigning equipment is necessary to aid a chemical program used to obtain the water quality specified by oil producers. With a successful water clarification program, oil is reclaimed for sale and potential for plugging material to enter injection system is decreased. Large holding tanks and wash tanks often are used as oil separators and water polishers. Operators can evaluate the effectiveness of these tanks through interpretation of a retention study and by reviewing analytical data derived from oil parts per million and millipore filter analyses. Tank flow characteristics and effectiveness in removing oil and solids are used in determining the type of internal design needed for better use of equipment.
