PWCM · Water-process module
Conditions a named raw produced-water source by separating gas, bulk hydrocarbons and solids before downstream recovery or treatment.
Module function
The functional boundary is explicit so a module is never treated as a universal process claim.
How the module works
Each step names both the physical function and the evidence required before the next handover.
Source and hazardous-area basis accepted.
Gas destination and protection available.
Oil route, state and water handover criteria proven.
Solids and backwash destinations defined.
Receiver limits, route truth and residual routes met.
Stream schedule
A stream is not released merely because the equipment can move it. Its state, route and receiving boundary must be accepted.
| Stream | Direction | Physical handover | Acceptance / release basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw produced water | Inlet | Named source → PWCM | Confirmed flow, complete analysis, gas/oil/solids loading and variability. |
| Conditioned water | Product / intermediate | PWCM → DLEM, WPRM or named receiver | Receiver-specific water criteria met. |
| Gas / recovered oil | Residual / co-product | PWCM → named gas and oil receivers | Hazard, quality, route and capacity defined. |
| Solids / sludge / backwash | Residual | PWCM → named residual receivers | Contained and traceable. |
| Off-spec water | Off-spec | PWCM → hold, recycle or residual receiver | No automatic downstream release. |
Published datasheet
Unsupported values are never guessed. The table states either the current public definition or exactly how the value is established.
| Specification field | Current definition | Evidence basis |
|---|---|---|
| Product code | PWCM | Fixed architecture |
| Product family | Water-process module | Fixed architecture |
| Typical process position | Produced-water front end | Fixed architecture |
| Core duty | Gas disengagement, bulk deoiling / emulsion management, solids conditioning and verified handover. | Fixed architecture |
| Barrier technologies | Selected from representative water characterisation and receiver needs. | Configuration option |
| Flow / turndown | Established from confirmed source flow and variability. | Project-specific |
| Gas / oil / solids load | Defined from representative complete analysis and operating history. | Project-specific |
| Hazardous area | Classified from gas, hydrocarbon, site and equipment basis. | Project-specific |
| Materials | Selected from salinity, sour service, hydrocarbons, solids, temperature and cleaning. | Project-specific |
| Controls | Intake, barrier state, residual routes and receiver release are verified locally. | Fixed architecture |
| Numeric outlet / capacity | The controlled P0 framework keeps these values HOLD until case-specific evidence and engineering release them. | Not publicly released |
Interface schedule
Process, utility, residual and control handovers are listed separately so responsibility is visible.
| Interface | Class | Handover | Acceptance evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Produced-water inlet | Process in | Named raw source | Flow, analysis, pressure, temperature and hazards. |
| Conditioned-water outlet | Process out | To named downstream receiver | Receiver quality and capacity. |
| Gas / oil | Residual / co-product | Separate safe receivers | Route, treatment and capacity. |
| Solids / backwash | Residual | Separate residual receivers | Containment and ownership. |
| Automation | Controls | Barrier, route, receiver and hazardous-state evidence | Local cause/effect tested. |
Operating envelope
The system envelope, Kit or chemistry limits, installed module configuration, project evidence and receiver criteria all apply. The narrowest valid limit governs.
| Envelope layer | Governing rule | Checks before release |
|---|---|---|
| Product | PWCM has its own water-source and transport qualification boundary. | Flow, pressure, temperature, chemistry, gas, oil and solids. |
| Module | Selected barriers define installed hydraulic and separation limits. | Load, fouling, backwash, residual and service availability. |
| Project | Representative analysis and variability define the qualified operating window. | Salinity, organics, solids, gas, scaling and emulsions. |
| Receiver | Conditioned water is released only to a named next step. | DLEM / WPRM / other receiver criteria and off-spec route. |
Safety, cleaning and lifecycle
Safe state, cleaning, maintainability and evidence gates are part of the technical definition, not afterthoughts.
