About Vance Petro — Application-Specific Engineering in Oilfield Wastewater Treatment

Henan Vance Petroleum Machinery Co., Ltd. (Vance Petro) was founded with a singular mission: to solve the oil and gas industry's most pressing water management challenge — the safe, efficient, and cost-effective treatment of produced water and oilfield sewage.

Vance Petro develops oilfield water-treatment packages around the stated inlet chemistry, flow variation, outlet target, sludge route and field utilities. Project documentation can include process design, equipment data, inspection records, acceptance testing and operating guidance for the selected configuration.

We don't manufacture generic water treatment equipment. Every system we build is engineered specifically for the extreme demands of the oilfield environment — handling oil concentrations up to 5,000 mg/L, operating across temperatures from 5°C to 95°C, and managing salinities up to 150,000 mg/L TDS (including high-brine produced water from unconventional shale operations).

PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

Our 6-Stage Oilfield Wastewater Treatment Process

From Contaminated Produced Water to Clean Effluent — Evaluate Against Your Inlet Conditions

1

Stage 1 — Gravity Separation / API Oil-Water Separation

The first stage leverages gravity and density differential to achieve primary oil-water separation. Our API oil-water separator — designed to API 421 standards — removes free oil, floating oil films, and settleable solids from the incoming produced water stream.

Removes: Bulk free oil >150 microns
Efficiency: 60–80% oil load reduction
Temperature: 5°C to 95°C
2

Stage 2 — Chemical Dosing (Demulsifier / Coagulant / Flocculant)

Produced water often contains chemically stabilized emulsions that gravity alone cannot break. Our precision chemical dosing system injects three reagent classes in optimized sequence: Demulsifier, Coagulant, and Flocculant. Dosing rates are automatically controlled by PLC based on real-time flow and turbidity monitoring.

PLC-controlled proportional dosing
3

Stage 3 — Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) / Induced Gas Flotation (IGF)

This is the critical polishing stage for suspended oil and fine particulate removal. Our DAF flotation unit generates millions of micro-bubbles (20–100 microns) that attach to oil droplets and suspended solids, carrying them to the surface for mechanical skimming.

Value, not waste

Stage 4 — Multi-Media Filtration

Triple-media deep-bed polishing vessels using anthracite, quartz sand, and activated carbon to achieve final target effluent quality.

Top LayerAnthracite coal — captures large particles
Middle LayerQuartz sand — removes fine suspended solids
Bottom LayerActivated carbon — adsorbs residual hydrocarbons
Result: Oil <5 mg/L • SS <20 mg/L • COD reduction >85%
5

Stage 5 — UV Disinfection / Chemical Disinfection

High-intensity UV disinfection chambers destroy bacteria, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), and other microorganisms without chemical residuals. Essential for preventing microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in pipelines and injection wells.

6

Stage 6 — Optional: Reverse Osmosis (RO) / Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)

For operators with zero-discharge mandates or maximum water reuse targets. High-pressure RO membranes reduce TDS to freshwater quality. Combined RO + thermal evaporation/crystallization achieves >95% water recovery with solid salt as the only final output.

Maximum regulatory compliance • Up to 95% water recovery

Produced water treatment project review

Define inlet chemistry and destination

Provide oil and grease, suspended solids, salinity, dissolved constituents and peak flow data. Reinjection, reuse and discharge require different treatment boundaries; an oil-removal percentage alone does not establish suitability.

Evaluate the complete treatment train

Review sludge handling, consumables, utilities and the sampling plan together with outlet targets. Ask for performance evidence under a comparable inlet composition and operating load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert Answers to Your Most Important Produced Water Treatment Questions

What effluent quality can the VP-OWT Series achieve?
Final outlet targets depend on the inlet chemistry, flow variation, selected treatment stages and operating controls. State the required discharge, reuse or reinjection criteria in the project data sheet and verify them through an agreed sampling and acceptance procedure.
How quickly can a VP-OWT system be deployed and operational?
Trailer-mounted mobile units: 4–6 hours. Skid-mounted units: 6–8 hours. Containerized systems: 1–3 days for full multi-module installations. Every system leaves our factory fully assembled, piped, wired, and performance-tested.
What are the inlet conditions the VP-OWT system can handle?
Inlet oil up to 5,000 mg/L, TDS up to 150,000 mg/L, TSS up to 500 mg/L, Temperature 5–95°C, pH 5.5–9.0. For streams outside these parameters, our engineering team designs custom pre-treatment solutions.
What is the typical ROI for a VP-OWT system?
High-volume fields with truck-and-dispose operations: under 6 months (often under 90 days). Mid-size onshore: 6–18 months. Shale recycling operations: 3–12 months. We provide a free site-specific ROI analysis with every proposal.
Does the system require a civil foundation?
No. Standard configurations operate on a simple level, compacted gravel pad. No concrete foundation required. Containerized units need only standard ISO corner cast support pads.
Can the VP-OWT system treat produced water for hydraulic fracturing reuse?
Yes. For slickwater fracturing, standard treatment is typically sufficient. For crosslinked gel, we integrate partial RO or dilution. We work directly with your frac service company to meet exact specifications, enabling up to 85–100% freshwater reduction.
What after-sales support does Vance Petro provide?
24/7 technical support with direct engineer access • Remote SCADA diagnostics • On-site commissioning & training in your language • Annual service contracts • Emergency spare parts dispatched within 72 hours to major global hubs • Upgrade packages available.
