Abstract
This chapter provides information about equipment selection and sizing for removing suspended solids from water and describes how the water source affects the types and amounts of contaminants in the water. It also discusses the processes and equipment for water softening and removing other dissolved solids. The removal of suspended solids from water may be desirable for a variety of reasons. However, the most common amongst them are to prepare the water for injection into a producing formation and to minimize the corrosion and solids build-up in surface equipment. Treating water for solids removal and for removal of dissolved gases are really two separate concepts, using two separate sets of theories and equipment. Generally, they are usually considered together when designers plan a water-treating system for water injection. The chapter discusses the removal of solids from water and not the dissolved gases.
