Enhancing Wash Water Injection for Separation Performance

ProSep’s MAX+ High Efficiency Mixer: Enhancing Wash Water Injection for Separation Performance.

On-site in Oman, our MAX+ mixer is playing a transformative role in an important crude processing project within the country. For this project, we collaborated with a leading separation technology supplier to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the end users’ system. 

In this application, wash water is injected into the crude to dilute salts present in the produced water — a critical step to protect downstream equipment and maintain operational integrity. However, the existing separation technology has strict limitations on water handling, making efficient, high-performance mixing essential to ensure optimal results. 

The MAX+ mixer is specifically designed for this type of challenge, offering: 

• >90% Mixing Efficiency — Consistent mixing and dilution of salts with minimal wash water dosage 

• 6:1 Turn-Down Ratio — Stable operation across varying flow conditions 

• Controlled Shear and Low Pressure Drop — Maximizing process stability while minimizing energy losses 

Through our approach, operators can achieve required salinity targets, preserve valuable water resources, and maintain separation equipment within optimal operating limits — all contributing to improved reliability and process performance. 

The system has been delivered and will be operational this year, further demonstrating how purpose-built mixing solutions support the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of oil and gas operations. 

If improving injection performance or protecting critical separation assets is part of your operations strategy, our team is ready to help. Get in touch today.
