World's First Chemical-Free Silica Removal for SAGD Produced Wastewater

Proven OPEX $ 0.40 - 0.80 /m3...and 50% reduction in CAPEX

World's first chemical-free Electrocatalytic Oxidation System (EOX) to remove silica+ from SAGD produced water

Ground Effects Environmental Services (GEE) has designed, manufactured and implemented the world's first electrocatalytic oxidation (EOX) solution to remove silica and other major contaminants from SAGD produced water. A cost-reducing and turnkey replacement for problematic and costly Warm Lime Softening (WLS) and Hot Lime Softening (HLS), GEE's EOX wastewater solution is a game-changer. 

1. Proven Broad Spectrum Contaminant Removal
As a world leader in developing advanced chemical-free technologies to treat wastewater, GEE's scalable EOX solution for SAGD effectively removes silica, TOC, TSS, H₂S, hydrocarbon, iron, bacteria and hardness from SAGD produced water within the operating temperature range of 85-135º Celsius. The process uses electrocoaguation with iron electrodes, with ozone as a catalyst, to create Fenton’s Reagent as one of the most powerful oxidants and contaminant removal processes on the planet. 

2. Proven Results
GEE's EOX handles upset conditions with ease and has minimal sludge compared to WLS and HLS. The recent successful project brought undeniable results from a 2500 m³/day commercial project and is scalable up to 20,000 m³/day. Contact GEE today for a presentation on what the technology can do for you and the huge OPEX and CAPEX savings you can realize. From lab and pilot testing to turnkey design and manufacturing, GEE can successfully do it all.

3. Compact Footprint, Scalable & Easy to Operate
The GEE EOX solution using electrocoagulation, has a compact, modular design with 30 seconds residence time that is scalable from 1,000 - 20,000 m³/day implementations. We can bring your complete turnkey solution on-line in 6-8 months. In addition, our robust design is easy to operate and optimize from anywhere in the world with high runtimes.
