MGX Minerals of Vancouver and partner PurLucid Treatment Solutions has commissioned a commercial 5-m3\/h NFLi-5 advanced wastewater treatment system. The system is currently operating under contract to an oilsands steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) operator to process evaporation blowdown water.<\/p>\n
The system achieved all key performance indicators. Silica was reduced by 99.7%, calcium by 88% and magnesium by 72%. Total suspended solids in the treated water were non-detectable, making it suitable for recycled use, said MGX. Hourly throughput during commissioning was stable, and the optimization of the control system successfully maintained flow balance, despite outdoor Canadian winter conditions.<\/p>\n
The plant generated about $30,000 in revenue for the oilsands company during the first three weeks it was in service. An additional system with 10 m3\/h capacity is now being installed.<\/p>\n
MGX owns 60% of PurLucid that developed the nanoflotation technology used in the treatment plant. MGX also has the right to acquire up to 100% through successive investments.<\/p>\n
