This work describes a comprehensive system that was designed, built and commissioned in Yarigui-Cantagallo field (Colombia) for treating and re-injecting produced water.

The facility mainly consists of one plate-pack separator, one induced-gas flotation cell, one nutshell filter and high-pressure pumps. Field data including water quality analysis in all stages of treatment are shown as well as calculated efficiencies for the equipment.

This system is adequate to obtain high quality water for reinjection in very tight formations.
