Relocating Water Treatment Pilot Plant — JTTF R&D II

A relocated and redesigned R&D pilot at Juaymah running three parallel produced-water streams — constructed wetland, conventional oily wastewater, and RSL membrane. A pilot programme, transparently labelled.

Executive summary

A relocated and redesigned pilot plant testing produced-water treatment across three parallel streams — constructed wetland, conventional oily-wastewater, and RSL membrane — as a controlled platform to assess performance and reliability for full-scale selection.

FK & Partner Co. delivered the complete design, installation, and commissioning, then operated the 25 m³/day pilot to assess performance, reliability, and treatment efficiency for full-scale selection.

The challenge

Continue the produced-water technology evaluation on a relocatable platform, structured into three distinct treatment streams for clearer comparison.

Site & process constraints
  • Three parallel streams to compare
  • Relocatable for flexible field trials
  • Pilot scale — 25 m³/day
Engineering approach

A treatment train sequenced to the contaminants.

Nano-Filtration → RSL Membrane · Constructed Wetland · DAF → Cyclone OWS (three streams)

Stream one is a constructed-wetland pilot; stream two conventional oily-wastewater treatment with cyclone OWS and de-oiler; stream three RSL membranes for TSS reduction, with nano-filtration for sulfate removal across the platform.

Relocatable design: the pilot can move between sites as R&D priorities shift.
