With this program, the company plans to establish its presence in the North American market that faces severe water scarcity.

The water treatment service can be delivered on-site and on-demand at low operational costs, the company claims.

The solution is based on APATEQ’s proprietary membrane treatment technology. It provides a solution to separate emulsified oil from water without the need of adding chemicals. The recovered oil can be processed in refineries.

The pilot plant will treat produced water directly on-site at the oil well according to ATEX guidelines. This will reduce transportation and storage costs further.

Overall, the operational costs of APATEQ oil-water separation system will be as low as $0.50 per barrel, a revolutionary rate compared to other conventional market solutions, the company added.

Currently, an upgraded version of the system capable of treating different types of water from different wells producing a re-usable effluent is under assembling process in Luxembourg.

Recently, the company shipped a containerized produced water treatment system to a European customer.

APATEQ, located in Luxembourg, started its operation with the engineering and manufacturing of compact wastewater treatment plants and systems for the treatment of industrial wastewater.
