There are various  steps in the water refinement process and even though it  might seem like one would demand a physics degree to understand, this guide ought to help to simplify the entire process of water purification.

The 1st step in water purification incorporates the water being transported to and getting unloaded at the facility. All incoming loads of water are tested for Chloride (NaCl) and percentage of solids before unloading is allowed. Once all tests are completed, the water can then be separated for distribution within the plant. Not all fluids will be sent to the same location. Fluids containing high solid levels are sent directly to the dewater process, while all other fluids are sent to the inlet pits for commingling.

The water is then moved into the mix tanks, that are developed to allow for the commingling and circulation, via means of pneumatic and/or propelled agitation, of all incoming fluids as wells as the natural separation of heavy solids (fallout) and oil (precipitation). The tanks are separated into a high-solids and low-solids system created to control all incoming fluids at the systems entrance.

The third step in the procedure involves going through a multi-stage tank battery system and de-watering. Initial, the fluids traverse through the tank battery system called the gun barrel, which is a chambered storage vessel with an adjustable skimming plate created to capture oil as it separates from the fluids. All oil captured is sent to the "crude oil sales" tank and remaining effluent fluids from the rifle barrel are sent to the 2nd step of storage, 2 large holding tanks which allow for adequate system volume capacities. That second step is called de-watering, that's where all the heavy solids captured in the system transfer to, and introduced to heavy molecular weight polymers and co-polymers.

Any fluid leftover after stage 3 of the operation are sent to the solid separator units where a series of changes too as injections are made and the remaining effluent fluids of the solids separation units are subjected to a number of high quality control tests previous to clearance to the next step of the process is allowed. Any levels indicated above working standards will need instant re-processing.

The fifth and final stage called micron and multi-media filtration consists of all fluids from stage 4 are sent through a series micron and multi-media filtration units in respective order given that the fluid passed all necessities.
