Heidrun Sulphate Removal
Sulphate removal engineering for reliable offshore injection-water treatment in the Norwegian Sea.
Long-Term Sulphate Removal Experience
Heidrun is an offshore seawater treatment reference focused on sulphate removal for reservoir injection. The system reduces sulphate concentration in seawater before injection, helping control the risk of sulphate scale formation and supporting reliable reservoir and production performance over a long field life.
The Challenge
Sulphate removal systems must operate reliably over extended periods while consistently producing water that meets the required injection-water specifications. Stable membrane performance, effective process control, and appropriate operating and cleaning strategies are therefore essential for maintaining treatment efficiency throughout the life of the installation.
The Vulkan Solution
Experience from the installation contributes to Vulkan’s understanding of how sulphate removal systems perform under long-term offshore operating conditions. This knowledge supports the engineering, troubleshooting, optimization, and lifecycle management of similar seawater treatment systems.
