Produced-water field validation · Pilot opportunity screening
A real stream.
A field decision.
Test whether magnetic hydrocarbon polishing can create measurable operating value on your produced-water stream—without disrupting the existing treatment train.
24 m³/day entry design · bypassable side stream · predefined scale-or-stop criteria
Set the test boundary.
Use the controls to frame a first conversation. We are calculating the burden of proof—not claiming the selected outlet can already be achieved on your water.

It defines what the pilot would need to prove. Final sampling frequency, acceptance criteria and run plan require stream data and operator agreement.
De-risk the next treatment decision.
GELTTECH’s entry pilot isolates one produced-water stream and tests whether a dedicated polishing stage improves the metric that matters to your operation.
Protect downstream treatment
Test whether lower residual hydrocarbon reduces fouling or instability in the next process.
Reduce treatment burden
Measure chemical, waste-handling or intervention changes against the present baseline.
Expand reuse optionality
Determine whether a verified outlet creates access to a defined reuse or treatment pathway.
Recover economic value
Close the hydrocarbon and media mass balance before assigning recovery value.
Evidence an operator can use.
Removal efficiency alone does not establish a deployable business case. The pilot must connect water quality to reliability and economics.
Where the pilot may fit
- Residual separable hydrocarbons create a defined cost or reliability penalty.
- A representative sample and analytical baseline are available.
- A safe bypass or side-stream connection is possible.
- The operator can name the outcome that would justify scale-up.
Where it may not
- Dissolved contaminants—not separable hydrocarbons—dominate the problem.
- The stream has no economic consequence tied to outlet quality.
- Solids, surfactants or emulsion stability prevent useful capture.
- The site cannot support safe access, sampling or a technical review.
