이스라엘 IDE Technologies사와 미국의 수처리·폐수처리 전문사인 Clean Harbors사는 캐나다 Alberta 지역의 oil sand 생산수 처리를 위한 MVC(mechanical vapor compression) 증발장치의 적용 및 안정적 운영을 위한 공동 R&D 프로그램을 추진하기로 합의했다.
이에 따라 IDE사의 수평형 증발장치 설계기술을 Clean Habors사가 보유하고 있는 케미칼 개발 및 크리닝 세정의 다양한 경험을 접목하여 MVC 증발장치의 운전·서비스·유지보수의 개선을 목표로 하고 있다.

IDE/Clean Harbours tie-up aims at oil sands clean-up
Desalination designer and constructor IDE Technologies Ltd and US waste and wastewater specialist Clean Harbors today announced a joint research and development (R&D) program to increase the availability and reliability of mechanical vapor compression (MVC) evaporators for treating oil sands produced water in Alberta, Canada.
The R&D project will focus on improved operation, service and maintenance capabilities of MVC evaporators by integrating IDE's unique horizontal evaporator design with Clean Harbors' chemical development and cleaning procedures expertise.
IDE Technologies' modular horizontal falling film evaporation technology provides a more reliable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective steam-assisted gravity drainage produced-water treatment solution. In addition, the unique design of the MVC evaporator incorporates an embedded clean-in-place system for online and offline internal tube-bundle cleaning (both for descaling and fouling removal).
"Treatment of Alberta's oil sands produced water is challenging because of the high scaling and fouling potential, as well as occasional process excursions. MVC evaporators are a critical step in the water treatment process as they provide boiler feed water quality," said Chris Porter, Clean Harbors' senior vice president, Canadian Industrial Services. "We believe we can deliver the ideal solution to the marketplace through IDE's experience providing MVC evaporators for produced water treatment over the past two decades and our expertise in the field of industrial chemical cleaning and ultrasonic technology."
"We are pleased to launch this R&D partnership with Clean Harbors, which will enhance the operation and maintenance procedures of the MVC evaporation technology," said Avshalom Felber, CEO of IDE Technologies. "By promoting novelty and creating added value for customers in the water treatment market, we continue to develop more reliable, sustainable and economical solutions."
