The three prevailing water-related problems that upset oil companies today are corrosion, gas hydrates and scaling in production systems. [ 2 ] [ 4 ] The reservoir water has a high composition of dissolved minerals equilibrated over millions of years at constant physicochemical conditions.
Water pollution is a major global environmental problem because it can result in the degradation of all aquatic ecosystems – fresh, coastal, and ocean waters. [75] The specific contaminants leading to pollution in water include a wide spectrum of chemicals , pathogens, and physical changes such as elevated temperature.
The purpose of a glycol dehydration unit is to remove water from natural gas and natural gas liquids.
