EC-AOP Pilot Project · Oil Field
Field validation at an oil field
Lai Pulo completed a supervised pilot project to validate a scalable, cost-effective and environmentally compliant produced water treatment solution under real operating conditions.
Pilot Objective
Validate produced water treatment performance under variable oil-field operating conditions.
Field Deployment
Pilot equipment installed and operated on site
The project brought together the treatment equipment, field personnel and operating activities required to complete the supervised pilot programme.
System Setup
Connections, tanks and supporting equipment were prepared for produced water treatment.
Field Validation
The treatment train was operated and observed throughout the supervised field trial.
Pilot Treatment Activities
The complete treatment train operated under field conditions
Produced water was processed through primary treatment, solids separation and final polishing during the supervised pilot programme.
Stage 01
EC-AOP Primary Treatment
Electro-catalytic treatment broke down hydrocarbons and organics while capturing suspended solids and metals.
Primary contaminant removal
Stage 02
Flocculation and Sedimentation
A 250-barrel, four-compartment Floc Tank aggregated and settled fine suspended solids following EC-AOP treatment.
Solids and contaminant separation
Stage 03
Reverse Osmosis Polishing
Membrane-based polishing reduced dissolved salts and remaining contaminants to achieve final-water quality.
Final polishing and TDS reduction

Visual Evidence
Sample appearance supports the documented field and laboratory results
Visual comparison is presented as part of the project record and should be considered alongside measured treatment performance.
Key Results · Independent Verification
Strong contaminant removal under real field conditions
Pilot performance was evaluated through field measurements, treated-water sampling and independent laboratory analysis.
Oil and Grease Removal
Reduction in oil-in-water across the pilot treatment process.
Suspended Solids and COD
Removal of suspended contamination and organic loading.
Heavy Metals Removal
Reduction in measured heavy-metal concentrations.
TDS Reduction
Reverse Osmosis polishing reduced dissolved solids.
Regulatory Compliance Confirmed
Treated-water results met or exceeded the applicable EGASPIN discharge requirements during the pilot.
Third-Party Laboratory Analysis
Samples were independently analysed to verify treatment performance across physical, chemical and microbiological parameters.
Variable Water Composition Managed
The system operated across fluctuations in oil-in-water, salinity and contaminant loading.
Verified Outcome
Field performance supported by measured results and independent technical review
The pilot evidence combines operating records, field measurements, sample comparisons and laboratory verification.
System Characteristics
Engineered for compact, flexible and efficient operation
EC-AOP units are configured around fluid chemistry, treatment targets, flow rate and available site space.
Chemical-Free Process
No reagent dosing or chemical-sludge generation.
Modular and Mobile
Compact skid-mounted systems for constrained sites.
Fully Automatic
Simple operation with minimal manpower requirements.
On-Site Ozone Generation
Ozone is produced within the system for immediate use.
Custom Configuration
Matched to flow rate, fluid chemistry and project targets.
Low Operating Demand
Minimal moving parts, service demand and energy use.
System Flexibility
EC-AOP can operate as a stand-alone system or alongside existing
filtration and treatment equipment.
Project Outcome
Field-validated produced water treatment ready for commercial deployment
The pilot demonstrated treatment performance under real oil-field operating conditions and established a regulatory pathway for broader project deployment.
