Containerized Water Treatment Pilot Plant O&M — JTTF R&D I

The Research and Development department (R&D) at JTTF, Saudi Aramco, maintains an evaporation pond containing produced water requiring treatment. R&D intends to evaluate various treatment technologies by conducting pilot-scale testing using a dedicated pilot plant.

A pilot plant was designed, installed, and operated to enable comprehensive testing of multiple produced water treatment technologies. The pilot facility served as a controlled platform for assessing the performance, reliability, operational requirements, and treatment efficiency of each technology under real field conditions. The outcomes of this pilot program support the selection and optimization of the most suitable full-scale treatment solution for the evaporation pond water at JTTF.

FK & Partner Co. operated and maintained the complete pilot plant including installation, commissioning, and startup.

Six different treatment technologies were implemented and evaluated in parallel.

All results supported selection and optimization of the most suitable full-scale treatment solution.
