The water treatment system will remove oil and water soluble organics (WSO) to below 10 parts per million (ppm).
The Jack and St Malo fields are currently under construction in the Lower Tertiary trend in deepwater Gulf of Mexico, and are estimated to contain total recoverable resources equivalent to more than 500 million barrels of oil.
MyCelx produced water treatment system will treat up to 70,000 barrels per day.
MyCelx said the design requirements for the production facility calls for an overboard discharge limit that is lower than the current EPA limit of 29ppm.
The company also said that it designs system to remove oil and water soluble organics below EPA limits to very low discharge limit.
MyCelx operations and technical services manager Andy Narayanan said the Jack and St Malo will be implementing the company’s produced water treatment system specifically designed to handle the difficult WSO’s from deep water drilling operations.
"We are currently in the process of design discussion with Chevron and Mustang, and the current schedule is to deliver the system to Mustang Engineering by May 2011," Narayanan said.
