Advantages of the product

Superior Performance in High-TDS and High-Temperature Conditions

Oilfield waters often contain high concentrations of dissolved solids, hydrocarbons, and suspended particles, which challenge conventional flocculants. Feymer’s oilfield water treatment flocculants are specially formulated to perform exceptionally in high-TDS (total dissolved solids) brines and elevated temperatures exceeding 80°C. Our proprietary polymer architectures exhibit exceptional resistance to salt-induced coiling and thermal degradation, ensuring efficient bridging and charge neutralization even under extreme environments. This results in faster settling rates, clearer supernatant, and higher solids content in sludge, directly improving the throughput of your treatment systems.

Enhanced Oil-Water Separation and Emulsion Breaking

One of the most critical challenges in oilfield water treatment is the efficient separation of oil from water, especially when emulsions are tight and stable. Feymer’s flocculants are uniquely designed to destabilize oil-in-water emulsions by neutralizing the interfacial charges and promoting coalescence of oil droplets. Our products act quickly to aggregate suspended solids and oil particles into larger flocs that can be easily removed by skimming, filtration, or centrifugation. This dual action not only enhances oil recovery but also reduces the oil content in discharged or reused water to meet environmental standards.

Tailored Solutions with AI-Powered Process Optimization

We understand that every oilfield presents unique water chemistry and operational constraints. Unlike generic flocculant suppliers, Feymer offers customized products and technical support backed by artificial intelligence and data analytics. Our team analyzes your specific wastewater characteristics—including ion composition, particle size distribution, and temperature—and selects or synthesizes the ideal flocculant polymer to achieve optimal performance. Moreover, we provide on-site assistance and remote monitoring to fine-tune dosage rates and mixing conditions in real-time,ensuring consistent results while minimizing chemical waste.

The oil and gas industry is one of the largest consumers of water, and the management of produced water—a byproduct of extraction—poses tremendous environmental and operational challenges. Oilfield water treatment flocculants are indispensable in treating this complex wastewater to enable reuse, reinjection, or safe discharge. Flocculation, the process where destabilized particles aggregate into flocs, is central to removing suspended solids, oil, and heavy metals. In oilfields, water characteristics vary greatly with geological formation, extraction method, and the type of chemicals used during drilling and fracturing. Consequently, the selection of a suitable flocculant requires deep understanding of polymer chemistry and water chemistry.

Frequently Questions

How do oilfield water treatment flocculants work, and what types are available?

Foilfield water treatment flocculants are unique high molecular weight water-soluble polymers. The process of flocculation starts after coagulation: the flocculant links multiple particles together by adsorption of polymer chains onto particle surfaces. It acts as a bridge that holds numerous particles and forms bigger floc. In oilfield operations, we have deployed synthetic flocculants of different ionic properties: anionic, non-ionic and cationic, depending on the charge of the raw water contaminants. Anionic flocculants generally work well in neutral to alkaline waters with inorganic particles. Cationic flocculants are used to neutralize the charge of negatively charged colloids such as clays and most organic matters. Non-ionic flocculants are best in all water where the chemistry of particles is moderate.

What is the ideal dosage of oilfield water treatment flocculant and how do you determine it?

The ideal dosage depends on the specific water composition, particle charge, and desired effluent clarity. There isn’t a universal dosage; we conduct bench-scale jar tests with water samples collected on site. When testing, we simulate the mixing and settling stages to assess turbidity reduction and floc size. Usually, we recommend using the minimum dose that meets the overflow target because that reduces chemical costs and avoid possible overdosing problems such as higher sludge volume. At Feymer, we have extensive expertise in analytical testing and can help to identify optimum dosage. In addition, we have experience with fully automated process control system: in line membrane filters can monitor effluent turbidity to modulate the dosing pump.

Michael Johnson

Exceptional Performance in High-Salinity Produced Water

Feymer’s oilfield water treatment flocculant exceeded our expectations. Our team has tried many flocculants and none performed well in this high TDS produced water. Feymer’s product not only separated oil efficiently but also improved the clarity drastically from 150 NTU to 20 NTU. The flocculation was quick, within minutes we saw large flocs form in the DAF unit. Importantly, the dose was 25% lower than our prior chemical, saving us thousands per month. Their technical team stayed with us during trials and even helped optimize our dosing system. I strongly recommend Feymer for tough oilfield water challenges.

Great Support and Tailored Solutions

We had a tough emulsion in our effluent that resisted most polymers. Feymer sent their technical expert to our site, and they analyzed our water. They suggested a custom blend of their flocculant and a coagulant aid. It worked like magic. We now consistently meet our environmental discharge limits, and sludge dewatering improved significantly, reducing our disposal costs by 30%. Their continuous support and quick response are top-notch. I appreciate their dedication and the quality of their products. Feymer is now our preferred supplier for water treatment chemicals.

Engineered for Extreme Environments

Oilfield water treatment conditions often push conventional flocculants to their limits. Our Feymer flocculants are synthesized using advanced monomers that give hydrophobically modified associative structures, which are stable at low doses and high temperatures. They tolerate (often exceeding 100,000 ppm TDS) and show no loss of activity when calcium and magnesium ions are present. This is key because high concentrations of divalent ions degrade conventional polyacrylamide by cross-linking and reducing performance. In one pilot in a Gulf of Mexico platform, we observed that our flocculant produced larger, denser flocs at a dose 20% less than our competitor. The flocs rapidly climbed to the top in a compact flotation unit, and oil removal averaged 96% at residence time of just 15 minutes. As result, operational availability of the water treatment package improved 5% and saved cost of demulsifiers.

Sustainability and Cost-Efficiency

Excessive chemical use and frequent re-dosing costs oil companies both money and their environmental image. Feymer flocculants are extremely efficient because of high molecular weight (>10 million g/mol) and a specific charge density tailored to your water. Lower dosage is required, generating less sludge to be disposed which further reduces disposal expenses. Additionally, our product formulation avoids the use of nonylphenol ethoxylates and other toxic substances, thereby decreasing the potential of detrimental effects on aquatic life. The polymers are also designed for compatibility with membrane systems: they cause lower membrane fouling than standard flocculants. This means less frequent cleaning and replacement; lower energy consumption for pumping and overall reduction of waste; and more recovered water that can be recycled into the process or safely used for irrigation.
