SWIT PILOT STATION
The objective of our pilot testing is to demonstrate and  test the combined water treatment efficiency of a representative SWIT unit (7500 – 1500 BPD) on the seabed. Treatment aspects to be demonstrated and verified includes:- Solids removal, water sterilization, system sterilization and remote monitoring and control.

TEST LOCATION
Testing can be performed offshore or onshore at virtually any location with a representative supply of seawater from a depth which is not affected by UV light. A proven site besides the Oslofjord  (figure below) has been selected. This location has an extraction depth of 60 meters and has several cost and logistic advantages compared with testing from an offshore installation. This test site also has an abundance of information on existing untreated seawater conditions.

 

PILOT PLANT AND TESTING
The SWIT pilot system is designed for a capacity of 7500-15000 BPD containing:-  still room structure, electrochlorinator, hydroxyl radical generator, and control equipment. Connection and hook up to the test centre includes:-  Transfer Pump (land based), pipeline from SWIT unit to shore, cable and control panel and sample equipment. For real applications there is no limitations to the capacity and we are currently also looking into another pilot plant for 500.000 BPD.

Please note that water injection pumps and wellhead Xmas trees are considered proven technology and have been omitted from the pilot test. Monitoring the operational performance of the SWIT Pilot will include:-
·        
Sampling for chemical and biological analyses of treated waters and biofilms.
·        
Sampling for solids analysis
·        
Statistical evaluation of the results
