Description

AN IMPROVED WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The present invention relates to water quality, liquid purification processing. In particular, the present disclosure provides a water filtration system. More specifically, it pertains to an improved water filtration system.
BACKGROUND
[002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[003] In a field under pilot study, the oil well produced water is required to be reinjectedinto subsurface formations for improved oil recovery or disposal. The produced water had problems like high suspended solids, oil content, scale and corrosion tendency as well as bacterial activity (GAB, SRB), which together are very detrimental for injection into injection wells. Thus, the water is initially treated at Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) for control of such problems prior to injection or disposal into underground formations.
[004] After treatment at ETP, the effluent water is pumped to Water Injection Plant (WIP) for further treatment and injection into wells. Usually, the produced water is prone to SRB activity, which forms black precipitates of Iron Sulphide (FeS) due to sour corrosion caused by ¾S gas. This makes water blackish and gives smell of rotten eggs. Besides, the produced water has problems of corrosion, scales, formation fines, dispersed oil, bacteria/ slimes etc.
[005] The present experiment relates a filtration system at water injection plant (WIP), which receives effluent from ETP through a long pipeline. The effluent has wide variation in water quality with respect to suspended solids (TSS), bacterial activity and oil contents etc. The TSS values are normally between 30-50 mg/1, but sometimes the values could be as high as 120 mg/L or 300 mg/L due to some anomaly during ETP process. Sometimes, there are also traces of oily layers separating at surface in water samples.
[006] Presently, the injection water is being filtered through a set of multi-media filters (sand type) at the installation that can remove particles down to diameter 7-10 pm. After media filtration, the suspended solids (TSS) in water are reduced to 20-30 mg/1. Still, the filtered water has significant suspended solids (TSS) that include corrosion products (FeS, Fe203), waxy/oil coated particles, bacteria etc. which can pass through media filters. Presence of large amountof suspended particles (TSS) is quite detrimental to injection formations, if not controlled within prescribed limits. As per injection water standard, the TSS should be less than 3.0 mg/1 (relaxed limit-5 mg/1) for smooth injection into wells of low permeability reservoir.
[007] During filtration, the currently used media filters (sand, quartz, etc.) are backwashed (cleaned) with filtered water after achieving certain level of differential pressure (DR) across filter. The backwash water containing solids, oily matter, sludge etc. is collected in underground sumps. As soon as sumps get filled, the sump-water is pumped back to inlet storage tanks for reprocessing. Thus, the solids (also oily sludge) get re-mixed in injection water and solids in water find way to injection wells and damage formations. As sumps are underground tanks with huge solids and oily matter, these are not easily cleanable due to hazards and safety reasons. Besides, the sump water is also a big breeding ground for SRB activity, which contaminates injection system. Also, the existing filters do not incorporate self-cleaning facility, thus need periodic cleaning and require media replacement after certain period of time. Besides, the existing sand filters occupy large space, consume a large amount of water in backwashing resulting in wastage of water.
[008] There is, therefore, need in the art to provide an improved and efficient but reliable filter system that can be concluded from the above that in spite of all the efforts made, the solutions previously proposed and known in the prior art do not meet all the essential requirements which are taken into consideration in the present invention. Further, there is also a need in the art to provide an improved filter system that is self-cleaning and improved filtering efficiency to get the desired quality of water.

[0017] The present invention relates to water quality, liquid purification processing. In particular, the present disclosure provides a water filtration system. More specifically, it pertains to an improved water filtration system.
[0018] An improved water filtration system has been disclosed. According to an embodiment, the system can include a primary filter adapted to receive contaminated water from a water source.

[0044] FIGs. 1A and IBillustrate an exemplary representation of the filtration system in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0045] In an embodiment, filtration system 100 can include a primary filter 102 with backwash collection & processing unit 108 for recycling of reject water from filter 102. The primary filter 102 can include a porous wire-mesh with pores of the first pre-defined diameter. The first pre-defined diameter of the pores of wire-mesh can be about 5 to 10 micrometres. In an embodiment, the primary filter 102 can include a Self-Backwashing Automatic Filter.
[0046] In an embodiment, the contaminated water from the source can be fed directly to the primary filter 102 or the contaminated water can be fed to the first water storage tank 112. The first water storage tank 112 can be used to store the contaminated water and thereby providing the contaminated water to the primary filter 102 for filtration. The primary filter 102 is fully automatic self-backwashing filter. In primary filtration, the contaminants (suspended solids) get deposited on primary filter 102 and get backwashed automatically. After a predetermined degree of contamination has been reached, the filter material is cleaned by backwashing a small quantity of filtered medium. The backwash of the impurities is executed by the reject device built-in within the filter.
[0047] The backwash water containing solids residue, with oily solids can get collected in tank within backwash processing facility, which is having tank, pump, manifold/piping, filters etc. 108. The backwash water (reject) is filtered and separated water is pumped to storage tank 112 and the solids residue (oily waste) is managed as per environmental laws. Thus, by installing backwash unitl08, the wastage of water is prevented and Zero Liquid Discharge System is created. It would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that the system 100 does not waste water and thus the efficiency of the filter can be increased by reusing the water separated from the backwash unit.
[0048] In an embodiment, the backwash processing unit 108 further separates the contaminants into solid particles and water. The solid waste particles thus collected are separated out by a filter installed in backwash unit 108 can be either collected or discarded. Further, the water thus separated out by backwash unit 108 can be sent to the first water storage tank 112. It would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that backwash processing unit 108 (tanks, manifold/piping, pump filter etc.) is installed to prevent wastage of water and to manage the (oily) solids waste rejected by primary filter 102. Thus, a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system can be created and solid waste can be managed safely.
[0049] In an embodiment, asecondary filter 104 receives the water after primary filtration 102. The secondary filter 104 can have a secondary porous media selected on the basis of contaminants in water received after primary filtration. The secondarymedia selected to reduce about 50% (or more) of all suspended particlesload below 5 micrometre size (< 5.0pm) from water received after primary filtration. The water thus allowed passing after a secondary filtration can be fed to a cartridge unit 106. In an embodiment, the cartridge unit 106 can include a porous cartridge filtermedia with pores of thesecond pre-defined diameter(filter ratings). The second pre-defined diametercan be about 0.5 to 5 micrometres (filter ratings). The water thus allowed passing after filtration by the cartridge unit 106 can be fed to a second water storage tank 110. It would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that the system 100 is capable of rejecting or filtering out particles or contaminants of diameter even below 5 micrometre range.
[0050] In an embodiment, the primary filter 102 is a fully automatic filter having self cleaning backwash facility, which can separate suspended solids on primary wire-mesh. The backwashing (reject) of automatic filter is collected in backwash processing unit 108, which has tank(s), manifold/piping, fittings, pump, filter etc. This backwash unit, separates contaminants solids and separated water is pumped back to the first storage tank 112 for reprocessing. The solid wastes can be managed as per pollution control norms and water wastage is prevented. Thus, a ZLD can be created to prevent wastage of water and to avoid pumping of water containing solid waste.
[0051] In an embodiment, the filtration system 100 comprising two automatic filters the primary filter 102 and the secondary filter 104, position of the primary filter 102 and the secondary filter 104 can be interchanged (as shown in FIG. IB) depending on solids impurities in water. In an exemplary embodiment, the filtration system 100 can be used without the primary filter 102 or the secondary filter 104 on the basis of total suspended solid (TSS) and nature of solids.
[0052] In an embodiment, the filter system 100 can also reject oily matteralong with suspended solids in the form of waxy and oily-coated particles from the produced water. Thus, primary filter 102 (with the secondary filter 104) has advantage for removal of suspended solids alongwith oily materials, which is extremely important for good performance of downstreamthe cartridge unit 106. It would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that removal of solids alongwith oil-coated or waxy particles also prevents flow of these solids with injection water into wells that can cause damage to injection wells formations. High-pressure pumps for injection into wells are depicted in diagram at 114-1 and 114-2.
[0053] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary alternate representation of the filtration system in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The FIG-1 and FIG-1A are next higher versions of FIG.2 for filtration.

The first pre-defined diameter of the pores of wire-mesh can be about 5 to 10 micrometres. The contaminated water from the source can be fed to the primary filter 202. The source can include a first storage tank 210. The first storage tank 210 can be used to store the contaminated water and thereby providing the contaminated water to the primary filter for filtration.
[0055] In primary filtration, the solid contaminants get deposited on primary wire-mesh of primary filter 202 and backwashed automatically. The primary filter 202 is fully automatic self-backwashing filter. After a predetermined degree of contamination has been reached, the filter material is cleaned by backwashing a small quantity of filtered medium. The backwash of the impurities is executed by automatic reject device built-in within the filter.
[0056] In an embodiment, the backwash processing unit 206 can further separate the contaminants into solid particles and water. The solid waste particles, thus collected are separated out by a filter installed in the backwash processing unit 206can be either collected or discarded. Further the water thus separated out by the backwash unit 206 is pumped back to first water storage tank 210. [0057] In an embodiment, the cartridge unit 204 can include a porous cartridge filter media with pores of a second pre-defined diameter (filter ratings). The second pre-defined diameter can be about 0.5 to 5 micrometres (filter ratings). The water thus allowed passing after filtration by the cartridge unit 204 can be fed to a second water storage tank 208. It would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that the system 200 is capable of rejecting or filtering out particles or contaminants of diameter less than 5 micrometres.
[0058] In an embodiment, the primary filter 202 is a fully automatic self-cleaning backwash filter, which can separate suspended solids on primary wire-mesh. The backwash (reject) of automatic filter is collected in backwash processing unit 206, which has a storage tank, manifold/ piping, fittings, pump, filter etc. This unit 206 separates solid waste particles (oily-coated also) and water and a first pump to pump out the separated water to storage tank 210 for reprocessing. The (oily) solid wastes can be managed as per pollution control norms and water wastage is prevented. Thus, a ZLD can be created to prevent wastage of water and to avoid pumping of water containing solid waste.
[0059] In an embodiment, the system 200 can also reject of oily matter along with suspended solids in the form of waxyand oily-coated particles from produced water. Thus, primary filter has an advantage for removal of suspended solids along with oily materials, which is extremely important for good performance of downstream the cartridge unit. It would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that removal of solids including oily- coated and waxy particles also prevents flow of oily matter with injection water into wells that can cause damage to injection wells perforations. High-pressure injection pumps are depicted in diagram at 212-1 and 212-2. In an embodiment, the cartridge unit 204 comprises one or more cartridge filters.
[0060] FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating a process for filtration in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0061] In an embodiment, the process of filtration of water can be initiated at step 302, which pertains to receiving contaminated water from a water source by the primary filter. The water source can be effluent treatment plant, produced water, contaminated water from sea, river, pond and the like any source or can be stored in first storage tank 112. Further, at step 304, the solids contaminants with diameter greater than the first pre-defined diameter are restricted by the primary wire-mesh of the primary filter 102. Further, at step 306, the primary filter 102 allows passage of the water after primary filtration. Further, step 308 pertains to receiving the water from the primary filter after primary filtration, by the secondary filter 104. The secondary filter 104 comprising a filter media having pores sizes selected such as to remove 50% (or more) of all particles of 5-micrometre diameter and smaller sizes. This step 310 removes/ reducesall solidparticles from water from 5.0 microns to the smaller sizes, which reduces solid load on the one or more cartridge filters of the cartridge unit 106installed at downstream. Further, step 312, allows passage of remaining water after secondary filtration. The next step 314 pertains to receiving water after secondary filtration, by the cartridge unit 106. The filter cartridge unit 106 can include one or more cartridges arranged in a cascade formation.
[0062] Step 316pertains to restricting of contaminants of the received water after secondary filtration by the cartridge filter media. The contaminants having diameter greater than a second pre-defined diameter are restricted from passage.
