TERTIARY SEPARATION - CTOUR CTour Process The CTour process removes dispersed oil and dissolved hydrocarbon contaminants in the produced water stream through injection of condensate.

23 TERTIARY SEPARATION - CTOUR CTour Process The CTour process removes dispersed oil and dissolved hydrocarbon contaminants in the produced water stream through injection of condensate. Injection of a condensate of light hydrocarbons (specific gravity of 0.5 to 0.75) into the produced water stream to extract harmful components. The key to the success of the CTour process is the ProMix. This enables the homogeneous mixing of the condensate into the produced water stream. Benefits: Performance - Removes OIW to below 4-5 ppm Reduces dissolved hydrocarbons (PAH, phenols, BTEX) by 80 95% No waste products no disposal/transportation costs No chemicals added Easy to install in existing systems Very low operating costs Robust process, low maintenance Removal of < 5 micron oil droplets Removal down to 14 API crude 8 December 2014 Copyright 2014 ProSep.
