Conventional oil wells produce on average 3 barrels of produced water and may require about 2 barrels of water flooding for each barrel of oil.  Fracked oil wells require about 3-12 barrels of water (frack water) and produce about 0.5 barrel of produced water for each barrel of oil.  Most refineries use about 18 barrels of water to refine one barrel of crude oil.  Conventional seawater desalination plants reject about 0.7-0.9 barrel for each barrel of their feed streams.  Wastewater treatment and reclamation plants reject about 0.2-0.3 barrel for each barrel of their feed streams.   About 433 kg of carbon dioxide is produced by burning 1 barrel of crude oil. 

Such examples, to name a few, simply reveal that water and energy sources may be too expensive to manage, too harmful to release, and yet too valuable to waste.  Despite these pronounced facts, we have the so-called “cult of genius”, which conveys the “arrogance of established patterns”, thereby glorifying giant players.  As such, most people stick to familiar labels, pigeonholes and beaten paths.  Such are often the least efficient and most environmentally destructive paths.  This is only because most of us are not taught to think in better ways.

At DESUL, we practice lateral thinking; thereby the flow of original ideas never stops.  To get different results, we put technical information together with different means. What makes an idea original is not necessarily the concept itself, but the fact that most other people, thinking along conventional lines, did not think of it themselves.

DESUL thereby specializes in providing innovative solutions to treat source water (de-oil, de-NORM, de-scale, de-toxify, de-salt, and combinations) , wet oil and flue gas; where others often fail to match.
