To save as much water as possible in the production of oil and eliminate the need to deliver water via tanker truck, the Bahrain Petroleum Company B.S.C. (Bapco) is using GE's advanced mobile water technology to convert seawater into usable, highly pure source water at the Awali refinery. In order to reduce the amount of water used in the production of oil , and to reduce the need to deliver water to the facility , Bahrain Petroleum Company ( Bapco ) has adopted GE 's mobile water solutions . Bapco had previously delivered fresh water using tanker ##s as its in - site fresh water delivery was too slow . GE ’s mobile water technology produces 136 m3 / h of water for the facility , allowing " operators to desalinate the water on - site and immediately use it for oil refining ” , according to Kevin Cassidy , global leader of engineered systems at GE Energy & Process Technologies .
