Torishima received an order of 73 Pumps including Filtration pumps for Wave Project C1 [Orders Received in Feburary 2024]

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the world’s leading crude oil producers, with the seventh largest daily crude oil production in the world. Torishima has received orders for a total of 73 pumps, including filtration pumps, for a seawater treatment plant as part of Wave Project C1 which is being promoted by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), headquartered in Abu Dhabi.

Wave Project C1 is a project to construct an oil extraction facility to increase crude oil recovery. This facility uses the water flooding method to extract oil. In this method, water is pumped into the reservoir via an oil well constructed to drill for oil, which forces crude oil out of the reservoir. This method is considered simpler and more efficient than other extraction methods. However, it requires large amounts of water, so water resource management is important. In this project, pressurized seawater will be used to extract the oil because water resources are scarce in the region.

Torishima pumps have been selected for use in a treatment plant that takes in seawater and then passes it through a nano-filter/ultra-nano-filter to reduce the salinity before using it to extract crude oil. Torishima also won another order for pumps to deliver treated water in Wave Project C2. These Torishima pumps will make a valuable contribution to the further development of the country’s oil business.
