Produced Water Treatment DOW UF Membranes SFP-2880 / SFD-2880 PVDF Module 77 m2 0.03 um Oilfield Reuse

Oil and gas operations generate large volumes of produced water that must be treated before reinjection, discharge or beneficial reuse. Ultrafiltration has become the workhorse of produced water reclamation because it removes suspended solids, oil droplets, bacteria and colloids in a single reliable step. The DOW UF membrane SFP-2880 / SFD-2880 module, with 77 m2 of PVDF membrane area, delivers the throughput and fouling tolerance that oilfield water treatment skids demand.

The SFP-2880 is an outside-in, dead end filtration module built around a reinforced PVDF hollow fiber with a 0.03 um nominal pore size. Its hydrophilic fiber surface resists oil fouling far better than hydrophobic membranes, while the large 77 m2 area keeps flux moderate and chemical cleaning frequency low. Each module is factory integrity tested so that operators can rely on consistent filtrate quality from the first day of service.

• Fouling-resistant PVDF fiber: the hydrophilic, reinforced PVDF hollow fiber tolerates oily and high-suspended-solid feed better than conventional membranes, reducing cleaning downtime.
• Large 77 m2 membrane area: high effective area per 8-inch module means fewer modules, smaller racks and lower capital cost for produced water skids.
• Stable filtrate quality: 0.03 um nominal pore size removes suspended solids, emulsified oil, bacteria and colloids, protecting downstream RO and injection wells.
• Outside-in dead end operation: simple flow configuration lowers pumping energy and simplifies automatic backwash and air scour sequences.
• Strong chemical tolerance: the PVDF fiber withstands frequent sodium hypochlorite cleaning, keeping biological and organic fouling under control in oilfield service.
• Proven platform: the SFP-2880 / SFD-2880 is part of the DOW IntegraFlux family manufactured under ISO 9001 with NSF and CE certification.
• Low maintenance design: automatic backwash, air scour and periodic clean-in-place keep operator attention to a few minutes per day.

In produced water reclamation plants the SFP-2880 modules are typically arranged in vertical racks downstream of deoiling and upstream of reverse osmosis. The UF step protects RO membranes from silt, oil and biological fouling so that the RO system can operate at higher recovery and longer cleaning intervals, whether the goal is reinjection, irrigation-quality reuse or boiler feed.

The same modules are used for oilfield wastewater polishing, tank farm runoff treatment and pipeline hydrotest water recycling. For remote sites the modules run on automatic backwash with minimal chemical consumption, and our engineers help size the rack, blower and CIP system around your produced water analysis.

Each SFP-2880 / SFD-2880 module is shipped wet with protective end caps, individually boxed and palletized for sea freight. Every module carries a factory test certificate confirming fiber integrity and bubble point, and stock delivery is 5-8 working days.
