SAGD deoiling
Deoiling train review and debottlenecking
Reviewed oil-in-water trends, emulsion behavior, chemical dosing, vessel retention, flotation performance, and downstream filter loading to improve recycle water quality.
Disposal water pumping
Disposal treatment and injection pump review
Evaluated disposal water quality, solids control, pump hydraulics, injection pressure limits, redundancy, and operating controls for reliable water handling.
Boiler feedwater
OTSG feedwater treatment troubleshooting
Assessed softening, filtration, chemical dosing, and blowdown constraints to improve steam generation reliability and reduce upset frequency.
Our approach
Clear process design, practical operating decisions.
This section can anchor SinoCan's value: bridging water chemistry, equipment design, Alberta SAGD operating realities, and field troubleshooting.
01
Define water quality targets early
We align produced water chemistry, steam generation requirements, recycle rates, disposal constraints, and operating limits before design decisions are locked.
02
Model the complete water balance
Mass balance, heat balance, chemical demand, blowdown, make-up water, and disposal assumptions are tied together so the system can be operated.
03
Deliver design-ready packages
Design basis, PFDs, P&IDs, equipment lists, datasheets, and vendor review notes are prepared for engineering teams and operations stakeholders.

What to confirm before sizing a deoiling train
Oil loading, emulsion stability, solids, temperature, residence time, chemical strategy, and downstream treatment limits all shape equipment selection.
Boiler feed design beyond nameplate flow
Reliability depends on water quality excursions, chemical control, redundancy, maintenance access, and turndown behavior.
Disposal pumping is a system design problem
Treatment quality, solids carryover, pump curves, injection pressure, controls, and redundancy must be reviewed together.
