Your Challenges
High concentrations of oil and solids
Produced water often contains high concentrations of oil and solids that are difficult to remove consistently. You need a solution that performs reliably, even when conditions change throughout the day.
Refinery and petrochemical wastewater
Refineries and petrochemical plants require stable removal of oil and fine particles to protect downstream equipment. These facilities often operate under demanding conditions, making performance certainty essential.
Industrial cooling water quality
Industries that rely on cooling water, such as steel, depend on clean water to safeguard processes and ensure smooth operations. Reducing solids and oil is key to maintaining uptime and extending equipment life.
How we help you ?
We help you reduce oil and solids efficiently, supporting safer operations and better water quality.
Our Process
Incoming water enters the filter bed, where the media captures oil droplets and suspended solids. Clean water exits the filter while contaminants remain trapped in the media. When cleaning is required, scouring gas is injected to fully fluidize and wash the media. This restores performance and prepares the filter for the next cycle. The process is simple, robust, and designed for continuous industrial operation.
Customer Benefits
Consistent performance across applications
Our Nutshell Filters are built on extensive experience in media filtration and produced water treatment. They perform reliably across different water qualities and industrial environments. This consistency helps you maintain stable operations.
Effective backwash for long‑lasting operation
A high flow of scouring gas fluidizes the filter bed and cleans the media thoroughly. This ensures each backwash cycle restores full capacity. You benefit from longer media life and lower maintenance needs.
High filtration grade
With our specialized media selection and polishing layer, we help you achieve a finer filtration grade. This improves effluent quality and reduces load on downstream processes. It also strengthens your ability to reuse water safely when possible.
High removal efficiency
Nutshell Filters lower oil content to below 1 ppm and remove 99% of solids larger than 10 μm. This level of performance helps you meet your treatment goals with confidence and supports more sustainable water use.
