DEVICES AND PROCESSES FOR REMOVAL OF IMPURITIES FROM A FLUID RECOVERED FROM A SUBTERRANEAN ENVIRONMENT.

摘要

Devices and processes are provided for removing impurities from a fluid recovered from a subterranean environment. An example of a device for removing an inorganic impurity from a recovered fluid includes: a housing; a filter media, the filter media comprising an adsorbent material and being contained within the housing; and at least one connection to the housing so that the recovered fluid may enter the housing in at least one entrance and exit the housing out of at least one exit. The device may be coupled to an additional filter media and the filter media may comprise a cellulose compound. The device is preferably portable to permit on-site delivery of the device to an oil and gas well site.
