Sallaway SWD: design custom Saltwater Disposal facilities and then build them from the ground up.
Saltwater disposal (SWD ) is the process of discarding the saltwater recovered during oil and gas production. The saltwater is considered to be a hazardous waste, it has a high salt content, it is rich compounds that are very rare in nature, and hydrocarbons. It is a must that the water does not contaminate natural resources, thus it has to be stored separately.
The oil production companies must make sure that saltwater does not contaminate the local groundwater, thus the design of such saltwater disposal buildings is handled by outside contractors, who have experience and special knowledge in the subject.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prefers the method of disposing saltwater through Class II saltwater disposal plants. Only disposal facilities that meet strict regulatory standards of testing, construction, design, monitoring, and record keeping can be classified as a Class II Saltwater disposal facilities.
Saltwater disposal design includes processes, plans and best practices that enable the engineers to build saltwater or wastewater disposal plants for any company in the oil and gas industry. Even though some people think that saltwater disposal is a minor part of producing oil, on average ten barrels of salt water is produced for every barrel of oil.
Sallaway Engineering not only builds disposal plants for companies of all sizes, but offers consulting services for those who are new to the field, and are only considering building such plants. These services include pump sizing, turnkey designs, construction and the management of the building project. Sallaway Engineering Contractors has a unique knowledge in this field, as it was one of the first companies to design and build fully independent saltwater disposal plants.
The regulatory environmental agencies of different states put in place different laws to ensure that the environment does not get contaminated. For example the state of Texas only allows wells that have three layers of casting to ensure that the groundwater stays pure, no matter what happens. The first layer reaches from the surface to below the deepest usable quality groundwater level. This is a steel pipe covered in cement, also called the surface casing. After that comes the production casing, a pipe that is cemented in place. The whole construction ends with the injection tubing string and a packer, which let the saltwater flow into an underground formation. The groundwater would get contaminated only if all three components would stop working at the same time.
Saltwater disposal plants provide a safe, environmentally friendly solution for disposing of the saltwater recovered during oil and gas production. The design and construction of such saltwater disposal facilities requires experience, and knowledge. Sallaway Engineering Contractors is fully equipped to design such plants, as they have been working with small to mid-sized oil producing companies since early 2011.
