ITT Corporation has been awarded a contract to provide turnkey potable and process water treatment systems to a Mexican platform designed by Dragados Offshore Mexico. The contract is valued at $2.6 million, and will supply pumps and extensive treatment systems for an offshore oil platform in the Bay of Campeche. The project includes ITT Goulds pumps and ITT C'treat water process systems necessary for maintaining life support systems on-board, including drinking water and process water.

"The main focus on a platform is oil production, but if critical support systems fail, production stops," said Dragados Offshore Mexico Project Director Jose A. Garcia-Figueras. "The water systems we install must be made of reliable equipment to ensure that freshwater availability does not become a concern for platform managers. We are confident that ITT's C'treat will deliver on that promise."

ITT C'treat has 30 years of experience in providing freshwater systems to the offshore petroleum industry. The company's desalination products and complete water systems are installed on hundreds of offshore platforms around the world. Dragados Offshore Mexico selected ITT C'treat for this project as a single-source OEM to provide the entire water treatment process system. Components include:

"C'treat has long been recognized as the global leader of watermakers to the offshore oil and gas industry," said Tom Vanden Heuvel, general manager of ITT C'treat Offshore. "This project demonstrates our broader capability as an OEM of complete water systems. We stay true to our core design philosophy of simplicity and reliability for the ease of use of our customers."
