Turning challenging water streams into opportunities for reuse and resource recovery.
Produced water. Industrial water. Concentrated brines.
Practical solutions shaped around the site and the water it needs.

The water opportunity
Water produced alongside oil can contain hydrocarbons, suspended solids and high concentrations of dissolved salts.
Pavilion Water brings the water side of Pavilion’s resource-recovery work into focus. Our approach connects separation, treatment and responsible management with a clear destination for each recovered stream.
The starting point is simple: understand the feed, define the required water quality, and design around a real use.
Our water solutions
Treatment is selected around water chemistry,
site conditions and the intended end use.
Recover entrained oil and remove suspended material to prepare water for its next treatment stage.
Match treated water to suitable uses, including process washing and other field applications.
Plan for concentrated salts and residual streams as an integral part of the water treatment system.
Explore whether saline residues can become useful products through controlled recovery and conditioning.
The treatment pathway
Explore the decisions that connect the incoming
stream to a suitable recovery route.
First, understand the stream
Establish the volume, salinity, oil content, solids and variability of the incoming water. Assess storage, utilities, climate and local demand before selecting a treatment route.
OutcomeA site-specific basis for treatment.
Recover what can be separated
Separate oil and solids using a sequence suited to the feed. Recovered hydrocarbons enter the oil-recovery pathway, while the water fraction is assessed for polishing or salinity management.
OutcomeDefined oil, water and residual streams.
Choose a route that fits
Assess polishing and, where needed, desalination or concentration. High salinity changes the treatment choice, so brine and residual management are designed alongside water recovery.
OutcomeA technically and commercially assessed pathway.
Confirm suitability before use
Verify recovered-water quality against the receiving process requirements and applicable approvals. Metering, sampling and operating records support controlled reuse and continuing performance review.
OutcomeWater released for an agreed, verified use.

Oil recovery and water management belong in the same conversation.
At Messla, Pavilion’s resource-recovery work processes oil-bearing material from existing ponds through skimming, heating and staged separation.
The water opportunity extends that approach: characterising the separated water, assessing appropriate treatment and reuse, and planning for the salts and residues that remain.
Explore Pavilion RenewablesExisting oil-recovery operations provide practical context for the wider resource-recovery programme.
Water treatment and reuse options are developed against site data and application requirements. They are not presented as commissioned water-reuse capacity.
Consider each stream together so that recovering one resource does not leave another without a management route.
A clear approach
Potentially, where treatment can meet the requirements of a defined industrial use. The opportunity depends on water chemistry, required quality, volume and distance to the user. The site and application must be assessed together.
No. Removing oil does not remove all dissolved salts or other constituents. Drinking-water or irrigation use would require its own treatment design, testing and approvals. Pavilion’s water approach begins with specified industrial applications.
Salts remain part of the material balance even when water is recovered or evaporated. Recovery may offer a useful outlet, but product testing, contaminant control, market demand and logistics determine whether that route is viable.
This website focuses on the water aspects of Pavilion’s resource-recovery work under the Pavilion Resources identity. The Pavilion Renewables website presents the broader oil, water, mineral and energy recovery programme.
