... Abstract In the past three years, several offshore platforms have commissioned sulfate removal units (SRUs) with a new, Thin-Membrane Technology which allows the highest active membrane area to be packaged into the standard spiral wound, sulfate removal element. These newly installed elements...

... Abstract Sulfate removal in injection water is standard practice to prevent scaling and souring in subsea oil reservoirs. Nanofiltration membranes have been used to this purpose since 1987, when FilmTec™ SR90-400 elements were installed in an offshore platform in the North Sea. The most...

... Desulfation of seawater before injection is required to control reservoir souring and scale formation. For this task, operators use nanofiltration (NF) membranes in sulfate removal units (SRUs). The tendency of the membranes to foul is a key operational challenge. To overcome fouling, frequent...
