Abstract: A method reuses produced water resulting from a fossil fuel extraction operation. The method includes providing the produced water as an input to an electrodialysis system. The method also includes running the electrodialysis system to produce a diluate and a concentrate. The diluate is contaminated so as to have a conductivity of no less than 0.1 Siemens/meter. The method also includes reformulating the diluate to produce fossil fuel extraction fluid. The method also includes using the produced fossil fuel extraction fluid in the fossil fuel extraction operation. An electrodialysis system includes first and second stacks. The electrodialysis system also includes first and second voltage sources, coupled to the first and second stacks, so as to apply a first voltage to the first stack lower by at least about 10% than a second voltage to the second stack.

Abstract: A system and method for operating a photoelectrocatalytic oxidation assembly for removing fouling from components is provided. The method includes the steps of resetting a first counter, increasing the first counter by a first channel increment value, and determining if the value in the first counter exceeds a value corresponding to the number of channels provided in the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation assembly. If the first counter does not exceed a value corresponding to the number of channels provided in the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation assembly, the following steps are performed: reversing polarity in a channel associated with the value in the first counter, resetting a first timer, determining if an amount of time in the first timer exceeds a first time period, increasing the amount of time remaining in the first timer by a first time increment if the amount of time remaining in the first timer does not exceed the first time period, terminating the polarity reversal in the channel associated with the value in the first counter when the time remaining in the first timer exceeds the first time period, and returning to the step of increasing the first counter by a first channel increment value. If the first counter does exceed a value corresponding to the number of channels provided in the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation assembly, the step of returning to the step of resetting the first counter is performed.
