Executives Present Three Papers in World Congress and Participate in Technical Sessions
PERTH, Sept 4, 2011 – Aquatech, a global leader in water purification technology for industrial and infrastructure markets with a focus on desalination, water reuse and zero liquid discharge (ZLD), will be an active participant in all aspects of this year’s International Desalination Association World Congress, Perth.
The company will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of technologies and solutions at Booth L26M26N26 (Pavilion 4). In addition, Aquatech executives will present three papers during the World Congress, while Devesh Sharma, Managing Director & Chief Commercial Officer, has been invited to Co-chair the session – Membrane Systems: Design Optimization.
Technologies to be highlighted at the booth include:
- Desalination solutions. Aquatech offers both thermal and membrane processes – a unique qualification that enables the company to evaluate both technologies for each specific project and offer their customers the most cost-effective option for their needs. Aquatech offers Multi Stage Flash (MSF) and Spray Film™ Multiple Effect Distillation (MED) that can be supplied with different energy alternatives, as well as Vapor Compression (VC) and Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO).
- Water recycle/reuse. The company will also highlight its solutions that can be used to treat feed sources ranging from industrial wastewater to produced water from oil fields. Recycle/reuse applications include power generation, petroleum refining, gray water, electronics, semiconductor and cooling tower blowdown.
- Zero liquid discharge (ZLD). Known for its pioneering work in ZLD, Aquatech supplies systems based on membrane processes, evaporative processes or a hybrid combining both these processes to achieve zero liquid discharge from the plants in a cost-effective manner. The hybrid approach, combining the membrane and evaporative technologies, results in systems having low life cycle costs compared to other available technologies.
- Unconventional gas. Millions of gallons of water is required to effectively access the gas, and along with the gas comes wastewater called “flowback”. With wells often located in remote areas, the need to transport water on and off-site via truck has posed a range of challenges for gas producers. Aquatech anticipated and responded to these challenges with one of its most ambitious and innovative solutions to date – its MoSuite mobile wastewater portfolio.
Presentations at Water Convention
In addition, Aquatech executives will present three papers during the Water Convention. One of these is an oral presentation by Charles M. Desportes, Director – Thermal Desalination, on the topic“Cost Effective Solar Power Generation And Med Desalination: A Case Study“
The other two are poster presentations: “An Alternative Technology for Coal Seam Gas Produced Water Treatment” by Charles M. Desportes, Michael Marlett, Daniel Bjorklund, and “Produced Water Recycle Reuse at the Oman Mukhaizna Oil Field” by Daniel Bjorklund and Charles M. Desportes.
