Flexibility
Big D’s Mobile System is Flexible
- Can handle various fluctuations of water, ranging in high oil to high H2S / Sulfur content.
- Can adapt based on the customer’s site, and their ability to pull off AST tanks, pipeline, or SWD facility

IS SULFUR A PROBLEM?
While some believe colloidal sulfur is not a problem down-hole, we speculate that it can and will do damage to the formation. Below are pictures of instrumentation used in this trial BEFORE we removed the sulfur. You tell me if you think sulfur is a problem or not.
REMOVAL OF COLLOIDAL SULFUR
- When hydrogen sulfide is oxidized into sulfur, the particles remain in a submicron state, making it difficult or impossible to remove them with standard filtration.
- Big D has created a process to help break those colloids down, which allows us to remove over 70% (Wt% Sulfur 0.4630 to 0.1348) of the sulfur with a 20-micron filter and over 90% of the sulfur with a 10-micron filter (standard filtration).
- Our flow through system allows 5,000 BPD to 100,000 BPD to be filtered safely, cost effectively, and with a minimal footprint on your site.
