Produced & Injection Water Filtration
Produced water and injection water carry suspended solids and particulate that plug injection wells, foul equipment and reduce reservoir performance. Robust high-flow filtration removes this particulate load at the high volumes typical of upstream operations.
Where in the process
On produced-water treatment and on water-injection lines, protecting injection wells and downstream equipment. It targets suspended solids and particulate.
What goes wrong without adequate filtration
- Suspended solids that plug injection wells and cut reservoir performance
- Abrasive particulate that wears pumps, valves and chokes
- High and variable solids loading in a demanding upstream matrix
- Space-constrained facilities where a large filter bank will not fit
How it works
- 1
Filter produced / injection water
The element sits on produced-water treatment or the water-injection line, ahead of injection wells and downstream equipment.
- 2
Remove suspended solids
Robust high-flow media capture suspended solids and abrasive particulate from the upstream water matrix.
- 3
Absorb high solids loading
High dirt-holding rides through variable, solids-heavy duty so run time stays long between change-outs.
- 4
Protect wells and equipment
Clean injection water protects reservoir performance and downstream pumps, valves and chokes.
Typical filtration requirements
- Robust particulate removal in a demanding upstream matrix
- High dirt-holding capacity for high solids loading
- Materials suited to the service environment
- Low pressure drop at high injection volumes
Why high-flow wins here
Selection & sizing factors
Sizing & selection
Produced/injection-water ratings follow the reservoir and equipment protection target and the solids loading. We match element and housing to the duty — share your water quality, flow and injection specification.
The right housing for this solution
A produced / injection-water housing must survive a demanding upstream matrix, so material and connections are chosen for the service pressure and environment. We size the housing to the injection flow — keeping the housing count low on space-constrained facilities — and supply the compatible high-flow elements. Use the housing configurator to specify an injection-service vessel or skid.

View solutionFrequently asked questions
Can high-flow filters handle high solids loading?
Yes — high dirt-holding high-flow elements are well suited to solids-heavy produced/injection water, extending run time between change-outs.
Do you supply the housing too?
Yes — we can supply configurable housings suited to the service alongside the compatible elements.
Does it remove dissolved or oily content?
It is a particulate / suspended-solids barrier. Dissolved and oily content are handled by dedicated treatment; the high-flow filter targets solids that would plug wells and abrade equipment.
How is the rating chosen for injection?
It follows the reservoir and injection specification and the solids loading. Send us your water quality, flow and injection spec and we recommend a rating.
