Advanced Water Separation from Oil Using Induced Gas Flotation (IGF) Integrated with IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Crude oil exploration and production inevitably involve the simultaneous extraction of water, oil, and gas. The presence of water, especially in the form of produced water, poses significant operational, economic, and environmental challenges. It is essential to separate this water efficiently to maintain production quality, reduce corrosion risks, protect equipment, and meet environmental compliance.

Induced Gas Flotation (IGF) is one of the most widely adopted technologies for removing free and dispersed oil from produced water. With the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the efficiency, control, and adaptability of IGF units can be greatly enhanced, enabling intelligent and autonomous water management systems in both manned and unmanned oilfield operations.

Limitations of Conventional IGF:

Manual controls that lack responsiveness to real-time changes.

Variable feed water composition affects performance.

Requires skilled operator intervention.

No predictive maintenance or failure forecasting.
